Truth Like The Dark

A long-time Christian product idea of mine showed up today on the very funny blog, Kinda Kitschy (click here, read, laugh, be damned).

Thanks to Gregory for elaborating the idea into a funny post.

I know it reflects some comic-book-based warping of my images of women, that I’ll have ot fight to my dying day, but I just love the art of Shane Glines.

Cartoon Network Chief Quits Over Boston Marketing Incident
By BROOKS BARNES
February 9, 2007 3:02 p.m.

The president and general manager of Cartoon Network resigned under pressure Friday following a botched ad campaign that resulted in a widespread bomb scare in Boston.

Jim Samples, who has spent 13 years at Cartoon Network, a unit of Time Warner Inc.’s Turner Broadcasting, will leave his position immediately. Until a successor is named, Turner said animation senior team members will report directly to Mark Lazarus, Entertainment Group president. “I deeply regret the negative publicity and expense caused to our company as a result of this campaign,”

Here’s a guy presiding over a world of AJAX Anti-Gravity Boots and Sponges that wear pants, and he’s got the leadership cajones to step aside, regardless of the ridiculousness of this whole Boston Terrorist Lite Brite Scare. Bravo, I say. Not that I think there needed to be a resignation (outside of Boston government), just that I think this is what a good leader does in a bad situation for his organization.

Would that Bush, Rumsfeld, would ever used words like those of Mr. Samples:

Mr. Samples wrote in an email to Cartoon Network employees. “I feel compelled to step down .. in recognition of the gravity of the situation that occurred under my watch.”

Or that any single senior member of the civilian leadership had this kind of self-sacrificing integrity, over, say, little things… like Abu Ghraib.

Sometimes I really wish I lived in Cartoon Land. And not just because Anti-Gravity Boots would be cool.
