Some Don't. » April 5, 2004Huffing and PuffingBlake Wylie spotlights the unconscionable decision by Warner Bros. to include a scene in the new Scooby Doo 2 movie that portrays "huffing" - inhaling nitrous oxide - in a humorous light. Wylie provides a link to a clip from the movie. In the scene, "Shaggy" huffs nitrous oxide from a whipped cream can. What's so bad about that? Huffing can kill you - and its incidence among children is on the rise. I'm going to say this as plain as I can: If one child sees the new Scooby Doo 2 movie and is motivated by the scene to inhale nitrous oxide from a whipped cream can, and is injured or killed, Warner Bros. will have blood on its hands. It used to be that "kids' movies" were really okay for kids, but this movie actually endangers children. Do not let your children see this movie. Posted in Pop Culture

Bill, consider who you're talking about here. It wouldn't be nitrous oxide Shaggy is 'huffing' here but whipped cream. Posted by: Alan Kellogg at April 6, 2004 12:02 AMNo, Alan. I've watched the scene. When Shaggy holds the can upright, and pushes, only the gas comes out. And then he is clearly "high" for the rest of the scene. To see the scene itself go to this site and click on "Under the Weather": That changes things. And, along with showing a damn stupid thing to do, it grossly misrepresents Shaggy's character. Shaggy is a goofball with a tapeworm and a talking dog. And a talent for staying just out of the bad guy's reach. I'll bet the Scooby Gang's SOP is, "Bad guy chases Shaggy and Scoob until he gets worn out, at which time we nab him." But a druggy? Right, and the Iraqis are all up in arms and on their way to chasing us out of town. Thanks for the additional info. Gives me a better feel for the situation.

But NEways.. HE IS HUFFING Nitrous Oxide. If you read the can N02 is the propellant. If you hold whipping cream rightside up, and shoot it. You get baked.
