Notice the DVD ad on the paper. It even says that it's after 20 years. Hasbro is desperate.

Literacy is the right of all sentient beings.

Someone had to say it

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2007 6:44 pm**

One shall stand, one shall read.

I thought that you were made of more literate stuff, Megatron.

And reading is half the battle!

Autobots, transform and read a book!

OP: All we need is a little energon, and a lot of books...
Megs: More books than you can imagine, Optimus Prime!

'Till all are literate!

I would have prefered Grimlock as the literacy spokesperson.

"Me Grimlock think reading good."

For a sec I thought he was on a toilet

"...He regularly concluded his animated broadcasts with an intimate and encouraging public service message..."

...No he didn't! Unless you count the DVD's, or the season that he DIDN'T appear in, That's a big fat LIE, my friends.

Still, it's cool to see Prime back on civic duty. He IS a legend, after all. My 2 year old nephew knows about Optimus Prime. Score one more for the TransFans!

Wow! thanks to Prime I now know! (and knowing is half the battle!)

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2007 7:30 pm**

Cool stuff. Reading is important as well as staying up on current events. Of course i just watch the news or get my info online but whatever.

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2007 7:38 pm**

Maybe Wheelie could be a spokesperson!

Me Wheelie say
reading is good!
But Grimlock say
that books are food...

As long as he can get people to stop believing CNN and Fox 'News,' I'm happy.

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2007 7:44 pm**

I help the environment by reading the news from my monitor - no trees sacrificed. Boo-yah.

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2007 7:45 pm**

haha and they made sure to promote the dvd in the ad for reading. HEY KIDS, READ but first buy this DVD.
