And I'm surprised that you would bring Acme into this as if they were a fair arbiter. They were clearly just in it for the money.

Please. Roadrunner equated to Zen like Elmer Fudd equated to quantum physics. He was nothing more than a skinny, obnoxious, little bird who had more luck than brains. A magic bird with the ability to walk off a cliff onto thin air without falling? Give me a break. Personally, I felt empathy for the coyote guy. He worked his ass off and for what?
As for Acme, I recognize their economic interest and I'm certain that the coyote was a pretty good customer. And it goes without saying that the coyote's inability to effectively utilize their products led to additional, short-term sales. However, I highly doubt that Roadrunner did anything for their overall reputation as a manufacturer of bicycle-powered aircraft, for example. I'm confident that their marketing department was smart enough to realize that, would have welcomed Roadrunner's death, and by including details in their subsequent advertising, realized substantial growth in the coyote sector.

That's just it, the coyote didn't "work his ass off". He just purchased more and more ridiculous devices. The self described genius could never see the obvious flaw in each situation, he was too obsessed and too conflicted to think clearly. In short- he was an asshole. The entire series was a comment on how state of mind affects success.
And if Acme wanted to reap the PR benefits from a confirmed kill they should have put out a better product. But that's not what they wanted to do. They had no interest in killing the roadrunner at all. |

Well, if you think that after falling 500 feet from a sheer cliff, getting right back on your feet, dusting your ass off, then painting a fake tunnel entrance, and constructing a rocket-powered, railroad handcart from scratch isn't "hard work", I don't know what to tell you, Mr. listopencil.
As for being an "asshole" ... again, we must disagree on this point. The coyote was far from it. In reality, the coyote was merely a very unfortunate victim of circumstances and a freakish, dipsh*t bird with astounding luck and some kind of logic-defying, fantastical powers that allowed him to avoid harm or capture. And that's the entire point. Put the coyote up against any other bird and there's no problem. This bizarre, asswipe of a bird, however, is a different story. Clearly, Roadrunner had sold his soul to Satan at some point which is the only possible explanation for both his ear-splitting "beeps" and ability to avoid injury. Now, it is possible that Roadrunner had inside help at Acme. That much I'll consider. However, failing that, it's unquestionable that Acme's long-term interests were tied to the Roadrunner's demise. I'm confident Acme upper-management would agree that Roadrunner benefited greatly from some form of demonic assistance which, as we all know, is cheating in the natural world. Pure and simple. FAX |
