"I was promised Kermit the Gangster Frog, and didn’t get a photo of such a poster."

Said Gus, the top-rated commenter at the NYT article "Kermit the Gangster Frog? Only in These Vintage Ghanaian Movie Posters/In the 1980s, video clubs in Ghana used hand-painted posters to draw African audiences to Hollywood movies. Now they’re attracting American film buffs."

Lots of great photos of posters at the NYT article, and here's the one they didn't think was worth a photograph but that proved so enticing as click bait. It got me. Sure, Kermit the Gangster Frog. I'm clicking.

I appreciate the reporter not throwing the headline writer under the bus. Even if both are employees of the godless NYT.

Awesome poster.

The only decent image in the whole poster is Miss Piggy with the knife. The rest of it looks like AI meh.

Kermit the feral Gosnell was another gangrene favorite.

You have early onset dementia though and a boomers entitlement that you dont need to know what is happening in the world as your heirs are surely set for life, no?

Go ahead and click... you dont have much left to lose... go brew crew,eh? Sausage racers are your speed now, proffy... enjoy your sunset years.

Nigerian-Brit Cynthia Erivo was the host for last weekends season finale of SNL-UK. One of the sketches was Nigerian Wicked, a takeoff on 80s Nollywood. Lots of the regular cast are West African Brits, and judging by the applause and laughter, so was much of the studio audience.

The ep as a whole was great. She has some comedy chops. CC, JSM

That’s nothing. I was promised “All the news that’s fit to print “ and instead got “All the news that fits our agenda “.

Were Nigerians disappointed that The Muppet Movie wasn't a gangster flick? Does Elmo's being a pedophile (allegedly) make up for the let-down.

Kermit got a gun?
Oh No, Oh no
Bert and Ernie in the closet?
Oh yes, Yay yes.
