Warning: Spoilers
. . . of 21st Century American Sexuality Mores in this 1940s Looney Tune, HARE DO. Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd take turns in dressing as transvestites for their Big Night Out at the movie theater. Unlike Batman Jim or Orlando Omar, Mr. Fudd decides to leave his hunting rifle in the woods where it belongs during his urban outing. About three minutes into HARE DO the manually-dressed pair make a couple passes by a framed painting of a nude woman, prepping viewers for the revelations about to come. We can see Bugs wrestling mightily with Bathroom Equity Rights for the Transgendered 90 seconds later. What sort of a stance will this American Role Model take on the future Caitlins of this World: A narrow-minded one, or a wide stance? Bugs surprises us by Thinking Outside the Stall, and simply changing the Public Lavatory Signage, depending upon who's inside. (You have to wonder WHY North Carolina did not think of that.) Just remember that the Tarheels are a little bit behind the curve. "Talkies" won't be introduced there until next year.
