But given the cheeky and seemingly forced pop culture references there's gotta be some "This is totally ridiculous too, right?"
Now? With this current Russell Wilson poster? I would certainly think so, but admittedly, I am kind of wondering.
The posters from back then though? No, not really. Although I was very young in the 80's, I do remember a hell of a lot of super ridiculous stuff that was most definitely not considered ridiculous at the time. Quite the contrary actually.
So this explains the nostalgia for a time when you could be earnestly ridiculous without a hint of self deprecation or meta social commentary. Simpler times.
Yep, and those times are long gone. Hence why he is getting laughed at and made fun of for this.
And before anyone jumps in with "who cares?", a lot of people care. I've been here for quite awhile now. I have seen countless times how incredibly offended, upset, and defensive many people here get when
anything Seahawks related gets made fun of or laughed at. This is absolutely going to be used as fodder by fans of other teams to make fun of Wilson and people are absolutely going to get offended, upset, and defensive about it. FTR, I am not one of those people.
