Hello‚ beautiful Earth warriors! It’s your friendly neighborhood AOC here‚ and today‚ I need to talk to you about a crisis that’s been weighing heavily on my heart – the silent plight of our feathered friends‚ the ducks. Specifically‚ the ducks sacrificed for the production of tape. Picture this: a serene pond‚ ducks happily quacking away‚ only to be abruptly plucked from their idyllic surroundings and thrust into a world of adhesive turmoil. It’s a tragic tale of sticky proportions that I‚ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‚ must share with you. In the hallowed halls of Congress‚ amid discussions of climate change and policy shifts‚ one issue has recently waddled its way into my consciousness – the environmental impact of duck tape. Not the shiny silver roll we use to fix things‚ mind you‚ but the actual ducks that allegedly contribute to its production. I know what you’re thinking‚ “AOC‚ are you quackers?” But bear with me‚ my fellow eco-warriors‚ for this is a tale of tape and turmoil. It has come to my attention that somewhere in the shadowy underbelly of industry‚ innocent ducks are allegedly being recruited for adhesive extraction duties. It’s a quackspiracy of epic proportions! These ducks‚ with their webbed feet and iridescent plumage‚ are thrust into a life of servitude‚ all in the name of our tape-related conveniences. Now‚ I’m not suggesting we live in a world without tape – let’s not get too sticky about this. Instead‚ I propose a quacktastic revolution! Let’s embrace alternatives like soy-based or recycled tape‚ sparing our feathered friends from their sticky fate. I envision a future where ducks paddle freely in ponds‚ undisturbed by the looming threat of becoming unwilling contributors to our stickiness. It’s a world where every quack counts‚ and no duck is left behind in the pursuit of adhesive solutions. Some may say I’m quacking up with this new environmental cause‚ but let’s not be fowled by naysayers. The time has come to make tape choices that don’t stick it to our duck comrades. Join me‚ fellow Earth stewards‚ in the quack for change! Together‚ we can ensure a tapestry of life where every duck is free to paddle‚ quack‚ and live their best feathered lives.

The 1985 movie Pee-wee’s Big Adventure‚ directed by Tim Burton‚ starred Paul Reubens as the Pee-wee Herman‚ who‚ in his quest to retrieve his stolen bicycle‚ traveled all around the USA after the police were unwilling to help him. Although Pee-wee’s Big Adventure resonated with viewers in the ’80s because of its setting and powerful storyline‚ which is quite insightful and motivating‚ it would be nearly impossible to produce a movie like that today because of new developments in the film location. ‘Pee-wee’s Big Adventure’ might be impossible today PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE‚ Paul Reubens‚ 1985. ©Warner Bros./Courtesy Everett Collection Pee-wee Herman launches a full-scale search and goes on an adventure after his antagonist‚ Francis Buxton‚ steals his cherished brand new Schwinn DX Cruiser bicycle with the help of local thugs. Pee-wee is relentless in his search for his bicycle‚ and he offers a $10‚000 reward for the bike. RELATED: Paul Reubens‚ Best Known As Pee-Wee Herman‚ Dies At 70 Buxton becomes scared by Pee-wee’s tenacity and pays someone to take the bike away so the theft won’t be linked to him. In his quest to find his bike‚ Pee-wee visits a fake seer who tells him his treasured bicycle is in the basement of the Alamo in San Antonio. The zealous Pee-wee makes his way down to the mission-turned-historical site only to face the disappointment that there is no basement. PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE‚ Paul Reubens‚ 1985. ©Warner Brothers/courtesy Everett Collection After Pee-wee’s Big Adventure was released in 1985‚ an article in Texas Monthly reported that curious visitors and fans of the movie visited the Alamo‚ asking the staff if they could view the basement despite knowing it did not exist.

Per The San Antonio Current‚ another basement was built later to cater to employees and has reference library guides. This new addition to the Alamo would make Pee-wee’s Big Adventure production nearly impossible as it will affect the storyline.
