World Doesn't End - Film at 11

So far the dire predictions of an Iranian-caused catastrophe haven't proved to be true. The Iranians did make a military move today...against a Romanian oil rig. Not exactly Armageddon.

However, a surer sign of the end of civilization comes in this story:
Turner Broadcasting is scouring more than 1,500 classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including old favorites "Tom and Jerry," "The Flinstones" and "Scooby-Doo," to edit out scenes that glamorize smoking.
Warner Brothers better do the same. Wile E. Coyote was always smoking...usually after blowing himself up trying to get the Roadrunner. Definitely a bad example.
