This is cracking me up.
Following what I thought was a hilarious parody of one of those short movies designed to scare you into going to the doctor (it aired on Cartoon Network's
Robot Chicken), the Prostate Cancer Coalition has issued a press release calling attention to
Optimus Prime's death from prostate cancer.
“When it comes to prostate cancer, there’s more than meets the eye,” National Prostate Cancer Coalition CEO Richard N. Atkins, M.D. said. "“Being a Tractor Truck, Optimus should have known the importance of check-ups – oil, anti-freeze, spark plugs – the works. It comes as such a surprise – my kids loved that guy.”
Note to PETA:
Get on board. If you want people to stop making fun of you and take your half-baked ideas somewhat seriously, it helps to have a sense of humor about things. Maybe start with some
Pulp Fiction bumperstickers with a picture of Jules' head and a speech bubble that says, "Soy tastes
goooood. Tofu tastes
gooooood."
