What happened to your tractor? Did your daddy take the keys away?
And they are honeymooning in a cheap motel somewhere in Germany. Out of respect for the conservative sensibilities of CC posters, they have chosen separate beds. Let's look in on the happy couple....

Bear, did I see Cars 2? No. My kids are too old for it. We don't pay to go to movie theatres so something has to be really good, well acclaimed, for them to remember to watch it once the advertising push fizzles out. Weeds out a lot of crap, although that wasn't the point, we're just cheap.
As for Fox's assertion.
I'm sorry, but it's reaching. Do some movies have a message behind them? Hell yes! There has to be a message for adults and children to both spring for the crazy ticket prices. So they throw in a controversy that is real and current for both segments of the audience. Pretty plain and simple sales ploy. The kids see a bad guy, the parents feel smart for understanding the subtext, everyone goes home happy.
What's current? The public backlash againts environmental damage, and corporate culture. So Disney actually makes the brilliant sales decision to take a dig at themselves in order to sell movies. Is it a grand message bent on bending the minds of today's youth? No. It's a calculated measure of popular opinion designed to sell tickets.

Hmmm, always thought Burton Cummings looked a little shifty.
Funny, lol.
I think we should always have muppet threads, muppets rock.
Fox's Op/Ed is spin targeting their demographic.
I think you're putting the cart before the horse. People wouldn't know the popular opinion message, until they see the movie.
But anyways, that subtext message that is real cool when the adults get it, is still being seen by kids. For whatever reason that message is there, it's still a message. It's subtext without context. Like making kids watch "An Inconvenient Truth" without the balance of an opposing view.
You and I may notice this, and as educated people, we may stop and offer our children some context. I'm not all that hopeful; that all parents are that savvy.
That's an extreme. Not that I'm surprised, the IRC is quite apt at re-interpreting International Law, to suit their ideology.
Out of the three articles posted here, and the few I've read over the last coupled days. I've found that the pro's of video game play, can be achieved through many far more healthier means/activities. Without the negative effects attributed to video game play.
Bad for the brain, but a war crime, it is not.
... conservative america has been accusing the producers of children's programming of sending underlying messages to young people in their material forever ...
