Cheese - Page 12 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I know it wasn't directed to the Asperger "type" of autism, but I still found it VERY offensive. "Idiot savant" has been a derogatory term with which to classify autistic people, which was greatly fueled by the 1988 film Rain Man. I thought it was a wonderful film... but it also basically spread the stereotype that ALL autistic people were exactly like Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of Raymond Babbit--which is NOT the truth.

I'll be honest with everybody. Autism/Asperger's in general is a very delicate issue to me. I'm part of the "autistic spectrum", I know what it's like to be misunderstood, picked on and bullied by my school peers, and I do not appreciate the continued ignorance and negativity that surrounds autism. ESPECIALLY the continued confusing of Asperger's with the Rain Man stereotype. Someone on the ToonZone forums suggested that Cheese was based on children with Asperger's, which prompted a very angry response from me.

I'm sorry for going so off-topic, but I had to say that. I don't want to discuss this anymore.

Back to Cheese: for his next appearance, I hope he's tagged up with someone who, unlike Frankie, actually deserves to be annoyed and driven mad. Duchess and/or Terrance would be nice. I still stand by my idea of Terrance having to babysit that adorable bundle of yellow annoyance.

Actually that would be a great episode. Maybe have Terrance have to babysit Bloo and Cheese and see how long it takes him to go insane

That was an episode idea I suggested a looong time ago, actually.

So obviously I too would like to see it.

In the next episode with Cheese, they should also include Louise. She's mentioned in the last two episodes, but not shown.

As for the next episode with Cheese, I'd like to see what would happen if Cheese met the man in the cell phone suit and/or red.

Here's something I thought of. Do you think that Cheese sometimes calls someone up at random and says some of his famous catch phrases, kind of like this.

(At someone's house in Holland, the phone rings.)

Person: Hello?

Cheese: I like chocolate milk.

I doubt he'd have the brains to do it, but it's a very funny idea.

Actually, I think Cheese is more than capable of doing something like that, as it would really only require him to pick up a phone, press numbers randomly, and then say something if someone else answers. It seems, actually, like something he would do quite often.

Another one:
Ring!
Guy: Hello?
Cheese: Potatoes taste like flowers!
Guy: Stop calling me!
5 minutes later...
Guy: Hello?
Cheese: I LIKE CEREAL!
Guy: I'm calling the cops
Cheese: I'm uh cop *starts making shooting sounds*
Guy hangs up

I really see him doing that.
