Wow, how strange...I hadnt noticed. But here is a story for you. About two years ago I heard on the radio that a group of people had been paid a couple million dollars to do a study. The results of this study indicated that everyone sees a cow every day of the week. I didnt believe this until I started noticing coffee cups, billboards, advertising, knick knacks and by gosh, the study was right. I pretty much see some kind of cow everyday. Would rather have had the two million to do the study. I guess I am not surprised that cows with udders are portrayed as males although I hadnt noticed...probably so used to the one cow a day that it is just routine now. It certainly will help the dairy farmers if the males are milking now. I guess that just shows that advertisers just dont know the real world and maybe we dont either.

I don't find it disturbing, but really annoying that male cows are portrayed with udders. Movies like Barnyard have male cows with udders. I think that the first people to do this were just being stupid, but now it's more of a stereotypical sort of thing.

To be honest... no it doesn't disturb me. There are more important things to focus on in life. If kids start having problems telling the difference between a cow and a bull... then parents need to do their job and set the record straight. Besides, cartoons seem to take many more liberties than sexual reasignment of cows... don't ya think?

No, because it's a cartoon. Mickey Mouse has four fingers, and it doesn't bother me. The udders are kind of a humorous visual gag.

I find it disturbing that many kids (of many ages) have no idea where milk actually comes from in the first place.
I've not seen what your referring to, but someone ought to complain about the inaccuracy of it.

Not really, it just shows unbelievable ignorance. I find it a bit of an ego boost that there are human beings so much less intelligent than me.
