Be afraid, be very afraid!

The portrayed "improvised explosive devices" were L.E.D. caricatures of these characters.

Which cartoon it was is kind of irrelevant here, it could have been Tennessee Tuxedo for all I care. What is important is to consider that some people in advertising could be looking at 3-5 years!
