If you ever read the great Achewood comic strip you are no doubt familiar with "penis molecules". Apparently they can survive the temps used to cook canned goods and are powerful enough to sicken little girls. Did anyone expect the last minute plot twist at the hunting lodge? "So what line a work are you in?" "I work at a dog food factory." "No foolin', I work on a canning line Campbell's. What dog food plant do you work at?" "Alpo". "Alpo!, Them's the sons of a bitches that murdered my dog!!" "Campbells are the sons of a bitches who poisoned my little girl!" "See you in Hell!' Multiple…

Hoary melodrama about one guy who works in a dog food cannery who¡¦s daughter gets food poisoning, while meanwhile, in another town, another guy, who works in a human food cannery, his dog dies from food poisoning! So we have two similar stories, 2 similar scene chewing wives (the wife responding to the dog dying is priceless) and 2 different plants, but similar glaring food safety violations. Actually, I wonder if a lot has changed, since food poisoning still is quite common, but apparently not as common when this was made, judging by the young girl¡¦s Father, who is just aghast at the very…
