TDS Intrudes Upon New Yorker Review of New Road Runner Movie

The many fans of the Road Runner cartoon series will be interested to know that there is a full length Road Runner movie featuring live action opening on August 28 called "Coyote vs. Acme." It has the fascinating premise of Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme company. A New Yorker review of this film, "Toons Have Seldom Been Loonier Than in 'Coyote vs. Acme,'" on August 14 by Justin Chang provided some interesting details such as the fact that this film was placed on the shelf by Warner's for three years. Unfortunately, Chang couldn't resist the temptation to let his TDS reveal itself in the review.

First let us look at the sad insertion of TDS which has absolutely nothing to do with the film itself:

Will Wile-E finally win one? Probably not.

I see that more and more, some idiot reviewer make some stupid TDS comment that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Think Rick Steves. Majorly infected with TDS.

They can't help it; it's in the very air they breathe. They think the evil that is Trump is common knowledge, and making reference to it, no matter how not related to the subject, wins them brownie points with their peers, their bosses, and the scores of TDS'ers who still read this rag.

Do you like to watch movies, Peejay?

Is the theater really dark yet kind of public?

Do you remember Peewee Herman?

Trump just insulted Sen. Ossoff by comparing him to Peewee Herman.

John Cena’s in it. Did he stop sucking China’s d***? He’s the reason I won’t be watching it.

I didn’t think they were going to release this. Oh well…I guess we can put it on the list.
