Why yes Cubed, it is pretty funny. Let's break it down, although I'm not entirely sure the guy was serious...

Because there was nothing interesting done with Batman after the 30's. Seems like a silly notion to assume TMNT would not work after the decade that spawned them.

I have no idea what this even means.

Because I guess there wasn't any dumb crap back in the 80's?

"16 year old"... Oh boy, I don't know about "sex pot" (whatever that is) but it's funny that he predicted something nine years in advance.

Like burning the master tapes? Is that what he meant? Anyway, seems like a really minor difference to be upset over.

Media awareness? What the hell?

This seems more like something out of Family Guy or South Park than kids' shows...

I'm not saying the new turtles cartoon is bad, (except for the opening credits) I'm just saying that there are some sad excuses for cartoons out there and don't let something as kick ass as the turtles fall to ruin like that crap-fest "Transformers Armada" or "Yu-Gi-Oh". The End.

Uh... This is what seriously made me question how serious he was. How was TF Armada or Yu-Gi-Oh not 22 minute toy ads and how did they relate to the media?
