What Hammerskjold did was take a comment from adamantine, where certain assumptions were made about Hammerskjold's background and personal character, and reply completely tongue in cheek with an over the top, silly, illustration of how he is the man who first modeled the GI Joe doll, who married Betty Crocker (a famous American cookbook author) and how he and his son "hunt Bambi" which is a bit of sarcastic American anti environmentalist whacko sick humor. To whit: I like to hunt deer. Environmentalist whacko: How could you kill Bambi Hunter: He tastes good when sauteed in butter, why do you ask? The reference to the Muppets is more of the same, however, some folks refer to their children as Muppets (I don't) in an endearing way.
The references were made to particular American "cultural" (or commercial) icons, so it would not surprise me if a non American might not see the humor the same way an American would.
What Hammerskjold was doing was lampooning adamantines assumptions about who and what he is.
Speaking of Peru, is life better for most folks now that President Fujimori is gone? Or is it a case of
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
