. . . to lock themselves inside junked refrigerators or freezers, CORN PLASTERED will clear up the mystery. This Warner Bros. animated short features a talking crow who convinces someone that it will be a blast to get locked inside a fridge. Considering that ice box suffocation claims the lives of more American tykes each year than shark attack and snakebite combined, I think that trying to pass off such a scene to a children's audience as "entertainment" (with NO "Black Box" warning to parents!) may cross the legal line into gross negligence, if not actual criminal behavior. It's pretty hard to determine from the Internet whether ANY refrigerator deaths occurred PRIOR to the release of CORN PLASTERED, or if any child has subsequently expired in the deep freeze WITHOUT having been PLASTERED. I read recently that some Detroit Mom killed two of her offspring, and stuffed their corpses into a fridge. The article didn't say if she was PLASTERED at the time, but it's a pretty good bet!
