Are you saying you believe everyone involved in the newspaper strip had carte blanche? Even if there was no official rules to follow everyone involved knew it was to kept all ages.

It's highly unlikely anyone at Playmates or any higher ups at 4Kids were of any concern to Murphy when writing the animated version of "Sons Of The Silent Age". There was no product placement at all in that episode and like I said before, given what the show had done prior to that episode the original ending would not have been at all out of place on the show.

Given what we know of Murphy's more current writing it's a lot more likely he came up with the nuclear power plant aspect completely on his own.
