Post a Comment*haha!
that sort of makes me thirsty for a diet coke... but not so much an explosion.
Yeah, I'm assuming Uranium has a far more catastrophic explosive capability than a carbonated beverage. Funny stuff though Mr. Borgman, as usual!
I thought I did , but just to make sure I went to this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?

Wow.
Mr. Creepers.
Many who comment on this blog will get it but I would not be so sure the non-bloggers (i.e. the bulk of the Enquirer readers) would get it. You could try and add a footnote at the bottom pointing people to YouTube but that might be weird.
Yes, of course. But you shouldn't always worry about that. In the words of Joel Hodgson (creator of MST3K) - "We never ask, will anyone get this? We just assume the right people will get it."
Of course, working for a paper like the Enquirer you have to appeal to the aging, dead-tree demographic - the pensioner in Loveland who moved out because of the criminals and still cusses in German.
But don't be afraid to unleash one once and a while that only hits 10% of the audience. They will appreciate the culturally-literate wink. The other 90% might be intrigued - and who knows, maybe they'll ask their grandkids to explain.

Great cartoon! I'm glad that the paper let you put something in that might be a bit off the mainstream.
I bet Alexander Litvinenko wishes that all he got was a mentos.
Mr. Freddie: I think that's what they say when Mentos are dropped in Guinness.
When I heard about this radiation poisoning I thought about the anthrax scare (never solved) and I really began to think that this is so much worse since this polonium thing could become a terror weapon (drop it in an urn of coffee), so I found this cartoon a bit too glib. And I doubt Putin had anything to do with it, I bet it was organized crime.(somebody will chime in and say, "Same thing.")
