PARIS IS BURNING (1990) dir. Jennie Livingston A vibrant snapshot of the 1980s through the eyes of New York City’s ball scene. Made over seven years, the documentary offers an intimate portrait of rival fashion “houses,” from fierce contests for trophies to house mothers offering sustenance in a world rampant with homophobia, transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty. Featuring legendary performers like Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey, and Venus Xtravaganza, it is a celebration of the joy of movement, the force of eloquence, and the draw of community.

I am constantly rotating your documentary au in my mind it's such a fun idea. Since Ratchet has been assumed to be a teen mom, are the humans also concluding Optimus is the teen dad? Or are they thinking its a "I'm not the step dad, I'm the dad that stepped up" sort of situation? I wonder what sort of further misunderstandings are going to happen with the one sided communication and the assumptions made about our delightful trio and Cybertronians as a whole.

The town is mostly thinking that Orion is around the same age by the way he acts sometimes, even if he's a bit scary, he has a young dad goofiness to him, especally compared to Ratchets grumpyness. Although since the two humans reporting on them are biased and are also young adults, there's probably different rumors about them to other crowds

There's people who thinks Bee was the child of only one of them and the other was like, a coworker or a family friend that got caught in the crash because of how unrelated he looks to the both of them, adoption was also a possibility but Angel and Truck King havent been seen together too much, and when they are only few see it, most people haven't seen them close to each other at all

Generally, everyone thinks that Bee is Ratchets kid and whether OP is biologicaly the dad is in the air, due to Bee and Ratchet seemingly being a lot closer (OP has just been taking up more dangerous construction jobs for a building so Bee hangs out with Ratchet more)

The ones most invested in the bots do think that they're a young family, with such a positive view on them they're also the most ballsy with talking to them, if someone was skeptical they try to avoid them

But after that last interaction with the guy flirting with Angel it definitely solidified that those two are involved at least, now that the 'Angel is a young mom' rumor has been floating around, the people who think that Truck King is not the bio father is wondering 'is there a deadbeat big yellow dad who wasn't treating her right and now good man Truck King has snatched her away? Or is Angel just unfaithful? It looked like Truck King was unaware of her fans and she even fought him so the guy could get away!' Of course nobody would ever bring this up to any of the bots... or their fans

Alot of information comes from Zekes mouth, the big rumors start here because while he doesn't say anything public with none of them there to respect the bots privacy, its also really hard to not tell your other friends about the robots who you get to hang out with as part as your job (park ranger) but now your friends have the perfect combo of vaugeness and details to go wild with rumors.

So while most of the town (at least the younger population) loves the drama, a part still wants some actual evidence that arent from some 19 year olds mouth, like the only seen evidence that the bots are a family before is that "It looks like a man, woman, and child robot"

Zeke also mostly reports on rumors that are notable (or at least he thinks are) so heres some crazy ones:

The robots are government spies that look like a cute family to get our guards down

The bots are actually a cursed family and we're normal people until they angered a wizard

The bots were sent by God as a test for something

The bots are escaped experiments from the Canadian government

Pete is a super villian creating these bots in his basement in preparation for world domination

The bots not only eat energy, but they also eat souls and are marinating us slowly

These damn bots are here stealing our jobs, we gotta deport them back to space before more come

I recently watched "Pepsi, Where's My Jet?", a documentary about how Pepsi seemingly offered a Harrier fighter jet as a reward to anyone who could collect enough "Pepsi Points".

A commercial aired in the 90's to promote Pepsi's points program, showing increasingly valuable prizes. The final item was a Harrier jet, listed for 7,000,000 points...with no disclaimer.

John Leonard took them up on the apparent offer, which resulted in a several years long legal tussle. Ultimately, a judge granted summary judgement in favor of Pepsi, ruling that the Harrier was clearly a joke and the commercial did not constitute a real offer.

In the meantime, Pepsi had changed the original commercial to say 700 million points, and added a cheeky "(Just Kidding)" underneath it.

I made this piece to commemorate what a bunch of good-humored jokesters and definitely-not-slippery upstanding dudes Pepsi guys are. If any former or current @pepsi execs want this piece as a memento of their time serving the world's best blue cola, hit me up and I'll send it to you for free!

If you're interested in watching the documentary, it's available on Netflix.
