"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.

I'm furiously trying to calculate the cost of painting my truck compared to any potential lawsuits I might incur if Mr Wilson finds out I drive a red truck.

Animated ones that talk, at that.

That's what I thought at first too, but what he actually wants excised from the movie is the "race the train" scene, as that is how his kid died.

Having said that though, I think this is a bit ridiculous. If anyone is going to see a cartoon car race a train and decide that is a greenlight ofr them to do the asme in real life, then there's some pretty serious issues there, far more than can be blamed on a movie.

I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard, and as far as I recollect, I've never had the urge to jump a river because I was in a hurry.

If it was blue, or even maroon, we could let it slide. But red? No, kids need to be protected from seeing red cars.

Guess he isn't a Dale Jr fan.

Isn't this the same type of moral authority that Cindy Sheehan claims (and that David Letterman claimed on her behalf w/ O'Reilly)?

Indeed.

I cannot begin to count the number of times I narrowly escaped with my life, while dropping anvils on my head, that were designed for the roadrunner,

or how many times I nearly died while stuffing my fingers into the business end of my freind's shotgun while out hunting wabbits.

Warner Brothers and Hanna/Barbra owes me, and a whole generation of people huge sums of money for the emotional and physical damage sustained when we mirrored what we saw in those...ah...er...cartoons.
