The road to Toontown

[Sethomas]

So, I'm reading a book on Anselm's ontological argument, Ermano Bencivenga's Logic and Other Nonsense: The Case of Anselm and his God. In discussing teleological aspects of going to Paris or Moscow and being sidetracked to Rio, as a metaphor, he says that he is worlds away from going to Toontown because the existences of the former places entails a different ontology than the fictitious latter.

He then adds a footnote bitching about the fact that while he was referring to the 1988 movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit, he was later foiled when The Walt Disney Co. created an attraction called Toontown as part of their Anaheim theme park.

Post-modernism can lick my testicles.
