An infantilizing message for infantile brains.

Some school had Mumia as the speaker from his prison cell.

That kind of thing was typical in cartoons back then.

We didn’t seem to have to worry that kids would take the violence literally, like a lot of them seem to do today.

My daughter’s graduation from a large University had KermIt as a speaker. The graduates were not happy as they said they being lectured to “by a SOCK”.

Testudo, a diamondback terrapin, is the mascot of the University of Maryland, College Park and represents the university both at sporting events and as a more general symbol. Testudo has served as the school’s mascot since the 1930s, and several statues of the terrapin exist on the school’s campus. — Wikipedia

Indeed. That is true as I, a graduate (MSEE) of that fine institution, can attest.

There is (or was) a joint called “Terrapin Taco” just off campus. Quality was low; we called it Terrible Taco.

Adam Schiff claimed Maryland as his primary residence and also California. That’s fraud. That’s a crime. Same as L. James.

Apparently those were made in the late 1950s when Wilkins coffee was a market leader. According to Wiki the brand is now defunct seeming to have disappeared around 1997. While I drink coffee daily now for most of my life I didn’t and had never heard of Wilkins until this thread.

I’d rather listen to Kermit than the most of the commencement speakers out there. At least the grads will remember who spoke at their graduation. I don’t remember who spoke at mine.
