When you were a kid was there ever a better baby-sitter than several hours of Looney Tunes & Merry Melodies? Thank you, Mr. Jones for all the great memories and, respectfully, That's All Folks...." CT: I just wanted to mention that Chuck actually read Slashdot. We had a poll once where he was an option, and he was flattered that he was winning it.

Well, yes, actually. Pretty well any human being would qualify.

What a bizarre comment - whose cultural norms does it represent, I wonder?

You paint a very troubling picture. Surely whatever gereration was raised under this so called 'entertainment' went on to become terminator-like killing machines.
