Because the eight year olds that watch Cars need driving tips right?

Dear god this crap is out of hand. I mean, the 16-year olds who actually drive are not dumb enough to imitate a talking, animated car, are they?

I'm sure complaining about the recent string of Fast and the Furious flicks would bring him a small case. Unfortunately, that would require common sense, and that's a commodity far too rare these days.

it's called "thinning out the herd". If kids are dumb enough to try it, the gene pool won't miss them.

Welcome to the wonderful world of disclaimers! God knows if I wasn't warned "professional stuntperson. Do not attempt" I might build my house on a desert cliff and base jump to get to my SUV wating hundreds of feet below. But I still wonder: how does he get home?

"Considering that Cars has made a lot of money, there is no way in hell that Disney will change their minds and alter the movie."

Who is this Wilson character that he thinks he has a right to interfere in the practie of interstate trade? Maybe he should be jailed.

I think people need to lighten up a bit. Hey, we have all had someone close to us pass on. I had a friend that was hit by a car running a red light. So should I call on all movie companies to stop making chase scenes that have cars running reds? No, because it's a movie. It's fantasy and entertainment. I understand where this person is coming from, but really, lighten up and move on. I wish these people would get a life before telling others what to do with theirs. If you don't like the scene, don't watch it, ff it or just skip the movie. Hey, the 6th Sense scared the living daylights out of me, you don't see me calling on the film maker to cut the movie because it's too creepy.

Guys, I think many of you are missing the point. While I'm sure most people who watch Cars are intelligent law abiding citizens who don't jump red lights and always wear seatbelts, there will always be a few impressionable people who can't distinguish right from wrong. Yes, it is funny reading the Darwin awards, but it just shows that there are people out there stupid enough to do stupid things.

It's similar to the tripe that that guy from "Thankyou for smoking" spouted about freedom of choice. I'm pretty sure that I'd still have the choice of whether to smoke with or without the warning skull label. The idea of the label is to remind people who have difficulty seeing what is right, not to remove their choice. If people want to skip lights and race trains, removing the scene won't stop them (and as a previous poster said, good riddance), but maybe removing the scene will stop someone who doesn't have the intelligence to see what is wrong with doing it when he watches it

Saying this, I reckon the scene should stay because it's a bit ridiculous editting one little scene when you have the entire films based on bad driving (Lovebug springs to mind!)

Bad driving vastly outranks good driving in terms of total on-screen time, or at least that's what I suspect you'd find if you had enough time on your hands to add up all the driving shown in every movie every year.

Which brings us to the reasonable solution: explain to children of all ages that they can't learn to drive by watching movies.

Better driver education in general would save far more lives on the road than cutting this one scene from this one movie.

Cars indeed sends several bad messages, namely that Larry the Cable Guy can be a movie star.

CC brings up an interesting point: I think the bottom line to it is, Am I my brothers keeper? Do I have the responsibility of assuming that anyone, at anytime, can be impressionable and try to mimic anything done in film, or any of the media for that matter, and therefore double-think anything I might say, write, film, or do?

My answer is no. If the answer is yes, then anything and anyone must be 'changeable.' From media figures, to artwork, to music, to--hell, just name it--we must police creativity and freedom of expression because some idiot or idiots, somewhere, at anytime, and in anyway, CAN be impressed by anything that may lead to a negative action (as well as those led to positive action by impression).

This argument is older than McCarthy, Wertham and Methuselah. I think we need to rethink the source of responsibility.

The good Doctor just made it to MSNBC Sunday and I was outraged. This guy is getting undeserved media attention because hes attacking Disney. The bottom line is anyone may experience a tragedy that becomes Hollywood depicted. Even song lyircs could trigger a memory of a tragedy.

If his case and point were valid there would be an awful lot of dead and mamed Speed Racer generation out there. I personally have a 17yo daughter that is not allowed to drive still today due to her maturity level. I will note she also passed drivers ed and has a license.

We would not allow her to drive her friends, much less her younger brother anywhere on her own. Why would a teenager be in a red sports car that in his own mind could outrun a train in the first place. This crap has to end somewhere. The fact that this guy had a scene in a movie reflect on his personal tragedy does not give him a right. Just think if one in ten people were to complain about things similar and take them to the same degree. As we face the major problems that are depleating our country you would think more people would put aside their personel issues and focus on much more realistic situations rather than an animated car. Where was the responsibility that day allowing a teenager to drive without supervision is on question I would love to hear the answer to.

Why does it seem there are more and more Americans that can't accept responsibility themselves and need to blame another person, tv media, books and other reasons or events for their own misfortunes.

This in itself seems to be one of the many real problems our country faces. Wake up!

Just my opinion.

I think you need to remember that this is a kids movie and he is not asking to edit all movies. The movie is directed towards kids. If they started putting gun violence in kids animated movies.. I am sure someone would also petition to remove this because it gives the wrong idea to children. Some adults even take those movies to the next level and fall in to gun violence let alone kids.
