It wasn't just dogs and cats, Edison fucking shocked an Elephant to death as a public display, to show how scary Tesla's AC was. Oh yeah, not to mention the fucking electric chair. That graphic needs to be modified to mention these.

That was then and this is now. As an example the US didn't even have any real child labor laws during Edison's lifetime.

At least link to the original: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla[^] Ripping off somebody else's content ain't cool. Sounds like something Edison would do. Also Forbes published a critique of this (and managed to correctly identify the source), and Mr. Oats publish a rebuttal here: http://theoatmeal.com/blog/tesla_response[^]

FYI, i did not rip off any bodys else content, its just that i did not get the original link from oatmeal and got this link. Yea i can agree that i was bored and lazy to search oatmeal/google. Still i did not put my name or any thing in that image, it still shows oatmeal's signature.

The problem is, he was doing it to create fear of the AC. Public fear mongering.
Do you have any idea what all business was like during that same time period?
