. . . the always eponymous Warner Bros. warn America with EX-LADY. "I don't want babies," ex-lady "Helen" informs her lover "Don" fairly early on during this tawdry tale. "When I'm 40, I'll think of babies,' Helen continues, quoting the words written for her by Warner Bros.' eerily accurate prophetic prognosticators, who anticipate "egg harvesting and lay-away," "in vitro fertilization," "fertility treatments," "surrogate rental wombs," and the rest of Today's unnatural reproductive smorgasbord. "Babies might be fun toys to have around, then," Helen concludes her outline of her imminent twilight years for Don. Doubtless the Warner Bros. brass felt that IF they laid on the line the Dangers of Delinquent Motherhood for the citizens of the USA well BEFORE "Science's" Brave New World dawned, the Men and Women of America would harken to EX-LADY and stomp their feet down, crushing any new-fangled types of human beings in the cradle. After all, Warner Bros.' clairvoyant crew foresaw that it was a steep, slippery slope from amoral "career woman" Helen's whims to awarding Human Rights to any old mammal, alien, cyborg, test tube experiment, computer infested with AI, or similar abomination. Alas, a feeble-minded Public ignored the Warner Bros. Cassandras of EX-LADY as they had done so many countless times before, and would continue to do so up until our beleaguered Present Day--greatly to America's detriment!
