Kids Don't Read Fine Print

Commercials tick me off. Rainbow Man is turning eight in a little over two weeks so he has been watching commercials with a consumerist eye the last month or six. One of the things he has been drooling over is a set of RC airplanes. What he does not understand is the teeny tiny fine print at the bottom of the screen says that it runs for SIX minutes on a charge. SIX! It does not mention what the time line is for how long it takes to charge it, but six minutes is absolutly ridiculous!

Needless to say, it is NOT one of the gifts we bought him!

I love Mythbusters

Srsly. There is nothing funnier than those two grown men pushing and shoving to be the first to blow something up successfully!

Tonight they are trying to blow up a gelatin chest with a nitro patch (for heart patients) and those electric pad things to make your heart pump again.

Its not working.

So what do they do? They call in some FBI guy who has pure Nitroglycerin, and blow up the poor gelatin bust the old fashioned way.

And the best part of it all? Hands down, its the sloooooow moootion instant replay they always do in explosions!

What is your favorite TV show. And Cartoons are not TV shows!
