That's quite funny... where DO you find these things, DJ?
I thought this was gonna be about the Cowboys of Moo Mesa. But I'm glad it was not.
Wasn't that a cartoon series?
Yes, back about 8 years ago or so. I watched it every once in a while, because sometimes it was on right next to Bucky O'Hare.
noticed he refferd to a cow as a "he".
All cows are female .
I guess its really a transvestite bull with a gun.
I guess we can forgive the fact that the guy that made this is really uneducated.
but it was very funny none the less.
Yeah, cows are female and generally do not have horns, while bulls are male and have horns and no udder...
I know this will likely cause another debate, but...the term "cow" can mean either a male of female bovine.
The point really is more about how the cow has both horns and is called 'he' yet has an udder...
Yeah, that's the fault of the flash animation maker. The song in the background was written long before the flash was made though, so can't blame that.
ASM: All cows are female.
ABF: Yeah, cows are female
Me: The term "cow" can mean either a male of female bovine.

Me: *smashes face repeatedly against a brick wall* :bang:
is it possible to get a mp3 version of this thing?
As for GR statement that" cows could be either male or female".
While it is true some people commonly reffer to a bull as a "cow" , It isnt really a correct term. A herd of bulls and cows is called bovine just like a pride of lions has lioneses and Lions. The reason people call them all cows is because most often the entire farm is just females with maybe one or two males to provide sperm.
but since it is pretty well so common there is no big issue with calling them all cows and its not really that incorrect as usually it is all ladies anyways
but they call it "bull fights" not cow fights now do they?
Also the cartoonist who made that is missing a basic preschooler education , most kids know a male "bovine" is a bull and doesnt have huge milkers.
My problem with the thing really is the fact that its a male bovine (or cow, whatever) with udders! That is just so clearly wrong...
But its still really funny.

cow
n.
1. The mature female of cattle of the genus Bos.
2. The mature female of other large animals, such as whales, elephants, or moose.
3. A domesticated bovine of either sex or any age.
For that matter, chicken refers to both genders of that animal, not just female (hen is for female chicken).
see chicken run , great movie somewhat simular to this.
As for the cow arguement , It doesnt matter its not a big deal anyways.
its just the cartoonist thats the most wrong here.
still funny though.
Chicken Run was really funny...
Oh, and obviously, 'chicken' is non-gendered, 'hen' is female, and 'rooster' is male...
Chicken run was made by the same playmation artist that created Wallice and Gromit .W&G is the best english cartoon ever.
