A pair of recent television events got me thinking about where we draw the line concerning what to believe. First, a Dodge Nitro commercial where an unsuspecting older car gets an explosive jump start from the powerful new truck. Second, the commotion surrounding the city of Boston's Aqua Teen Hunger Force . . . uh, scare?
So it's permissible to blow up automobiles on television, but it's not ok to plant several non-explosive lighted cartoon characters around town . . . pull a prank, essentially? Which is more worrisome?
It's easy for me to comment here--I wasn't one to come across the Mooninites in the subway, what would I have done?
What would you have done? Why do you think so?
