    As I sit here and watch that silly coyote try to catch the roadrunner I began thinking. Why can he never catch the roadrunner? The coyote's top speed is 40 mph that's more than twice as swift as the roadrunner's top speed is only 15 mph. Why doesn't he ever catch him? Not to mention the coyote is the more intelligent of the two. How comes no one ever questions this, or the person who created this cartoon. What was the creator thinking?

    It is a fuckin' cartoon. He was probaly thinking "Hey I should make a cartoon about an animal having trouble catching his prey. I like coyotes. What do coyotes eat? I know I will have a cartoon about a coyote having trouble catching a roadrunner." It is a fuckin' cartoon, it's not meant to be realistic. Why go so deep into the shows flaws? How bout this one: how the fuck does a coyote get all the money for his weapons and traps. WTF!?!?! I hate you

    What I always liked about those cartoons was the coyote falling off cliffs; we'd get a view over the cliff and see a little puff of dust when the coyote hits the bottom. A few times when he fell, his body would fall first, stretching his neck hundreds of feet and then his head would slingshot after it, with an understandably confused look on his face.

    Nah man, disney cartoons usually have messages in them, in one way or the other (not talking about twisted stuff that got slipped into shows and movies, i mean morals). Like, see, the coyote is always trying to get something, using all this technology, but can't win, while the roadrunner is all natural, just running and doing his thing not worrying about things. Seems a sort of praise of living for the day and being natural. That's just what I came up with now, tho.

    And yeah, Dr Lecter, that's good shit. Now that I think about it, I REALLY miss those shows....are they still on?

    EDIT: found this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_Runner_cartoon

    I agree but roadrunner ain't Disney and your link doesn't say it has a message it just compares Coyote to Sisyphus
