my little sister knew what pot was in the fourth grade when the her health class showed her and her classmates in detail what it was and how it was used.

AWESOME. I wish I had a class like that.

So, I'm uneducated now? O_o Great. Thanks. I guess I have to give a crap drugs to be educated, hmm?

Jeez, I sure am crabby right now...

I have to agree with gobo on that. I'm sure we all learned about pot at different ages and levels. Does it make us any less educated than the rest of us or whatever? No. I don't remember when I learned about it, but I'd say late middle school early high school.

Simon recognized right away that he had pot and at one point Michelangelo saves em from an evil pot monster. A rather odd cartoon

Ah here it is. Knew it would be on YouTube:

Whoa. I know this cartoon talks about how bad drugs are, but it really does give the impression that the animators were high when they animated this. Nice multi-colored sewer water.

That goes on the level. What kind of moral? As a country we're focusing on the wrong morals, that were prepackged and made up by certain groups to get political office influence. But then of course, we still idolize people like Paris Hilton. I think the morals as far as cartoons go is to promote the original idea, and keep the integrity of the characters. Theodore kinda follows this. The greed coming out of Dave breaks my heart. it seems something more out of a Chipmunks parody to have Dave be exploitive towards them.

And morals of comedy? Fart jokes haven't been funny since Shrek brought them to the mainstream. Sure, I can still laugh at Stimpy losing his first fart and going on a search for it, ahnd Kinnikuman using his farts to fly. I have no problem with scat jokes, just as long as they serve a purpose and are well done. not flung out like that.

Eh.. it kinda is. See Simon has a darker side that's rarely used. How else would he have known what pot looks like in Cartoon All Stars???

Where is Simon's dark side? I've seen him shy around girls and everything else Simon, but have yet to see a supposed 'dark side'. Clips? Episodes? Or is this all fan-made stuff?

Yeah, other than knowing the Mary Jane (which I guess was a joke on Raph girl's part) he's been nothing but a shy nerd, with the exception of one episode where he had some science experiment make him suave, and it turned Alvin into a wolfmunk or something... I have it on tape somewhere...

So, did anyone see this yet? I haven't yet cause I've been battling an eye allergies, which are almost clear, but I just wanted to know whose seen this and if it's cute?

Made like 40 million at the box office though. Not too bad.

I've heard mixed things. It's not as bad as everyone thought it was going to be, but it isn't all that good. I may just give it a look. That is if I didn't want to see Walk Hard a lot more.
