I like it. But there's a crowd here on FR (the ones that blame MTV's Jackass every time a kid busts his head doing something stupid) that couldn't disagree more. But he's right, agression needs to be worked out, part of growing up is learning how to vent your agression in socially acceptable ways (like watching Daffy Duck get blown up) and not socially unacceptable way (like Columbine). A society that doesn't let its youth vent it's agression constructively (or at least non-destructively) is forcing that agression down a very bad path.

Remember that scene in 'Second Hand Lions' where Duvall kicks those teen-agers butts while giving them a speech about being a vet and loving just one woman 'that a flea' like them couldn't begin to understand; and then later gives them the "man talk"? Boys need more of that. Men teaching boys.

We live in a society that doesn't let its boys be boys or boys grow up to be real men. Instead they have to find their 'sensitive' side to live and breath in it apparently. Maybe cartoons were a man's answer to feminism.
