Maybe I should watch it sometime; got this off TOD
Sopranos and Peak Oil (sort of).
Last night, in the final espisode of the Sopranons, A.J., Tony's son, is making love in his SUV. In the middle of the, uh, session, a grass fire caused by the SUV burns up the SUV.
Needless to say, in a later scene A.J.'a parents are pissed and tell him he can't have another SUV. A.J. says that's great because "we need to do something about our dependence upon foreign oil". He tells them that from now on he is going to take public transportation.
The end of the show's credits list TOD. :<)
Elsewhere during the show, Tony's arch nemesis gets wacked as he gets out of his giant SUV. The SUV later rolls over his head, perhaps a hidden message of some kind.
I'm sure the bright minds here at TOD could deconstruct not only this episode but the whole series as it relates to peak oil, death, and the American way. |
