Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I once wrote a very, very disrespectful post about Rod, Jane and Freddy that suggested a lot stuff that I am very, very ashamed of in hindsight.

Because the day after I posted it, I found out Freddy (Marks) had died two days before. And so I subsequently wrote an apology post, and removed the original post because as much as I am a fan of free speech, I am also a fan of doing the right thing.

I hate to point out the obvious, but if he's being suspected of bringing down the twin towers a day before it actually happened, the logic doesn't quite align. Remind me never to include any of you in a judge or jury situation.

Who are Rod & Jane & Freddy?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

They used to sing songs on 1980s British Children's TV programme Rainbow.

Rainbow (wiki)

Rod, Jane and Freddy (wiki)

[Edit] I kind of want to know what the Rod, Jane and Freddy post was now

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

holy hell who did Freddy's wardrobe?

no really i would like to know some of their sources. like, men's clothing today is so boring and that's what i wear on stage.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

On TV at least, the three of them always (to my memory) had matching or themed costumes, so I imagine it was supplied by the TV Programme - unless they made them themselves?

  • unless they made them themselves?

the musician way! only way to get shit that looks good at every gig is to bring it yourself. my latest aquisition is a jacket so bright i don't need stage lighting.

Either I'm surprised you don't know or I'm surprised your the only person to ask :)

They are a trio of performers who appeared on a kids show called Rainbow back when I was a child (which was a very, very long time go).

Thank you. Now we want to know about the "very very disrespectful" post you wrote about them.

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

SAG-AFRA were so offended by the voices he used during his book reading, they all went on strike for six weeks.

when they came back they were SAG-AFTRA. the T was for Time To Use Better Voices George Dubya and it still is to this day.

Uh, yeah, I lived in New York on 9/11, and classes were cancelled. Which was a day after 9/10, so I still don't get it.

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Are you just slow then, or what?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

The joke is that Garfield did 9/11.
