I kind of agree, as long as this isn't just preaching from some government jerk or a political group like MADD.

[cripplecreek]

We certainly don't want any 8 year olds trying to beat the train when they're driving.

[ClearCase_guy]

Obviously, Disney owes this man a lot of money.

"You never get over it. You just cope and try to go on," he said.

Get over it.

"As I'm sitting there, I couldn't believe it because this is a red car. My daughter was killed in a red car," said Lanny Wilson with the DuPage Railroad Safety Council.

Clearly Mr. Wilson's absolute moral authority entitles him to be spared the sight of red cars for the rest of his life.

[eddie willers]

As my mother used to say: "Oh my aching back!"

[Godzilla]

Dag gum!

[apillar]

I can't BELIEVE Disney showed Lightning Mcqueen pulling a road surfacer... My Uncle Elmer DIED pulling a road surfacer! How could they be so insensitive? /s

[ClearCase_guy]

Well, I think it's silly.

On a more serious note, the jetpack I ordered from the ACME corporation arrived today, and it almost immediately slammed my head into a rock outcropping. Somebody should put a disclaimer on those things. [/W.E. Coyote]

You know, that scene from the movie kind of bothered me, too. Racing trains is not cute and not funny. Folks who misjudge are turned into tomato paste and the train drivers, who are helpless to avoid the accident, are traumatized for life.

[toddlintown]

Just ban trains and you won't have this problem. And cars...stop the production of cars too.

IT'S A FREAKING CARTOON!

[gridlock]

I think the fact that this scene was included indicates that the Disney folks don't really understand rural life. From an urban perspective, racing the train may luke cute. But country folks figured out that was just S-T-U-P-I-D dumb a long time ago.

[toddlintown]

Let's also ban anything from the ACME company. That poor Warner Bros. coyote was dynamited, knocked over cliffs and driven into the sides of mountains by so many ACME products.

If I recall correctly, the dynamite was RED!

[usmcobra]

The scene should never have made it to the final cut in that movie.

The last time I checked, ANIMATED films don't have to be cut, nor are there any out takes or bloopers.

[gridlock]

The chance that Disney is going to modify the film at this point is about nil.

BTW, in the Fast and the Furious, in the climactic scene, the two heros are drag racing to beat a train. It's a double whammy!

Oh, and Vin Diesel hits the train with a glancing blow and survives!

[Syntyr]

My grandfather was an Engineer for Southern Pacific. He took me down to the round house a couple of times. I have seen what those engines look like when they tear them down. Those things are SOLID. The pistons are 16" in diameter. HUGE. There is NO way I will race a train. I learned a healthy respect for them.

[metalurgist]

Begone with you Lanny Wilson you stinking, hand wringing, long nosed, nanny stater. Get a life you pathetic worm.

I guess we need to edit all the Road Runner cartoons too. I'm sure that when the kids see the coyote get up in the shape of an accordian after a huge boulder falls on his head, kids will want huge boulders to fall on their heads too.

Disney should tell this stupid jit bag to go to hell.

[SampleMan]

And his reaction to the Looney Tunes is?

[Emmett McCarthy]

These are grown men? Or what passes for grown men in America today? My Uncle Wylie Coyote has been run over flat by paving machines, had countless anvils dropped on him and been the victim of backfiring Acme explosive devices. I watched it all, but he's just fine today, although you don't see great actors like him much these days.
