CARTOON: Transformers
LESSON: If were not careful, robots will kill us all.
This is a humbling lesson for any child to learn, but an easy one to accept, considering
Transformers was one of the coolest cartoons of the '80s. Would the Unabomber have renounced his violent ways if he were to witness the sheer stunning spectacle that is Grimlock? Hard to say, since he didnt have a TV. But we will tell you one thing: when machines replace humans at the top of the food chain, well be standing on the sidelines, waving our Autobot flag with fervent pride. Because, lets face it, getting eaten by an alien car would suck.
How it affected us as adults: The reason we stay away from Priuses and make our TV wear a blindfold when we sleep at night.
