Punching puppies is bad, but wishing a human wasn't alive is better? That type of hypocrisy is laughable. Stop with your nonsense. What he said was obviously a joke. This site isn't Reddit. We're not a left-leaning, overly sensitive and politically correct website, especially in Chit Chat. If you are going to get offended by everything it's best to stay out of Chit Chat.

My most humble apologies for my "punching puppies" comment, especially to the overly-sensitive liberal SJW mafia.

Given the divinity of all dogs, especially puppies, I used the comment as an illustration of how the tv program of question annoys me; and for no good reason, it just does. In no way, shape, or form do I advocate actually punching puppies. If, my any means, my comment encouraged you to punch a puppy, or if you took my comment with any seriousness, you are a frackin' idiot, please do not breed, vote, or drive...

Oh, and as a side note to this... One of the items on the top of bucket list is to get mauled by savage pack of golden retriever puppies.

Back on topic...

I did see the episode in question, my cousin loved the show, and was forced to watch it (might be why I dislike it so much), but thought the whole RC thing was cool. If memory serves, this particular episode might be what made me pester my parents for a RC car. In stead of a cool Tamiya, I think they bought me that $19.95 Sears RC, you know the one that that is a single speed forward, and to turn you hit the big button on the top, which makes the car turn while reversing. Yup, a long way off from that cool Tamiya that was on the show... I think my other cousin stole that car from me... No wonder why I hate that show so much...

You don't have to apologize for another's inability to put comments in context. I love animals (likely more than people) and was not the least bit offended by your post. Your point was clear and presented with humour.

My oldest clear memory of RC in films is from the Hong Kong movie 'Mad Mission'. Loved it.

Remember the 80's TV show The Wizard? Guy used all sorts of RC's and contraptions to stop bad guys, terrorists, etc? In one he used an RC car to sabotage a car. Seems like it may have been an RC10 but not sure. Edit: It's about 22:00 into this episode.
