Molly woke up this morning requesting - nay, DEMANDING - that we watch Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends.

Imagine, if you will, that you see a commercial on TV for Breakfast Cereal. IT LOOKS AWESOME. It's one of those cereals marketed towards kids with a cartoony mascot and a small line at the end of the commercial about how "Mom's love it too because it's full of vitamins and minerals that help kids grow strong!" This cereal looks and sounds like exactly the type of thing you would like to eat, as well as the type of stuff you'd like to feed to your kids.

So you go to the store and you buy a box of this wonderful cereal. You know you've got the right cereal because it's been available since the 1930's in pretty much the exact same box. It's an American Icon, much like Tony the Tiger! Toucan Sam! Snap, Crackle and/or Pop! You buy it, you take it home, you get ready to serve it for breakfast to your family...

...And the box is full of unsweetened Puffed Wheat mixed with Jalapeno Peppers and dried corn. Edible, sure... but not exactly what you thought you were buying in to. You go on-line and find that there are A LOT of people who still love to eat this cereal, mainly because they have fond memories of eating the sweeter, funner version when they were kids. But most of those people who are eating the cereal today just like to complain about it. You also find that you *can* buy boxes of cereal that were made many years ago that taste more like what you thought you were buying, but those boxes cost much, MUCH more than you're willing to spend.

The point that I'm trying to make here... )
