Don't Do This At Home

I was watching the animated "Cars" movie on the Family Channel this week when they broke for one of many commercials. Usually commercials are somewhat geared to the demographics of the target audience, which in this case would have been many young children. To my amazement a website teaser came on demonstrating how to microwave a can of energy drink. The result was as you would expect, sparks and electrical arcing with the microwave on the verge of exploding. I don't think there was any voice over, only a cutsie little on screen graphic stating "Don't do this UNLESS YOU'RE A MORON" which faded to a web address to see the final result. I looked at my wife in disbelief. Did anyone consider the "dumb" little kids that just might try the experiment themselves. I know we have all become desensitized to the point of numbness, but does this strike anybody else as INSANE? Kids are curious little creatures and not all of them have the benefit of common sense or even good parenting and minimal supervision. They, like most other learn by doing. I know their is plenty of this idiocy on the Internet and odd and sundry other cable channels, but to put something like this in the middle of a program targeted at kids just strikes me as criminally irresponsible. Sure, this doesn't rank up there with OJ Simpson or poor little Caylee, or maybe it does.
