 Does anyone remember what they call that animation style.
 Like The Thunderbirds.
 I've been trying to think of it since yesterday.
 I know it was some cool sounding 60's kind of name.
 Maybe not.

Kids should be watching wholesome shows like Davey & Goliath.

I always hung on the adventures of "Goofus and Gallant"

Supermarionation, Yes that sounds so...
 Super. Capital S even.
 And Davey and Goliath, there was always something just under the surface with those two.
 Just that boy and his dog sexual tension. You know what I mean.

The classic example of sell out.  Sort of.  The Lutherans sold the rights to Davey and Goliath to Mountain Dew (Pespi Co.) with the hopes that the profits from the ads would be enough to make new episodes of D & G.  
 
 Here kids, drink Mountain Dew so you don't get tired while you're out saving the world from the evil skater kids, who also drink mountain dew.  The only winner here?  Pepsi co.
 
 Look for Davey and Goliathâ??s Snowboard Christmas â??financed in part by Mountain Dew - on cable this Christmas.

 they did make fun of bush and republicans.  remember 'Thats My Bush'?!  
 
 
 that cartoon part in bowling for columbine did suck.

I caught the tail end of a making of episode of this movie, and it looked like everything was traditional marionettes with strings (not visible in final cut) with the only things remote controlled being the cars and explosions and stuff.

  it is amusing that they helped Michael Moore out with Bowling for Columbine and now make fun of him, wonder if there was a falling out

 I think Moore has that kind of sense of humor to be able to laugh at himself, unlike, for example, the FOX anchors.
