Politically Unfunny

Tom and Jerry are under attack.

How stupid... They are going to censor cartoons made in the 40's. I remember watching shit blow up on Tom's head when I was a kid, and he came back in black face. They don't show those cartoons anymore, as they offend the fine sensibilities of the politically correct. If they show those cartoons, those scenes are edited out. Example? The Fourth of July Tom and Jerry... I remember Tom stuck his head in in a teapot with a firecracker, and he brought his mangled head up looking like a daisy in black face. It was funny, and kids don't know what black face is... they just think it's funny shit. Ha-ha, yuck-yuck and all that fine shit. Black face is such an OLD insult that it doesn't mean anything anymore. It was from Vaudeville. Almost all gun references are now missing from MGM and WB cartoons... Did removing these from the classics result in fewer accidental gun deaths among children? Probably not... Parents using gun safes and educating their kids about guns would.

Now they are going to edit out smoking from the cartoons. So when Jerry is standing on the toy train tracks blindfolded waiting for his inevitable doom... that will now be a scene missing from the cartoon. What's next? No more bowling cartoons, so that kids don't hit each other with bowling balls in the head.... No more pool cartoons, so kids don't think it's okay to use pool cues like javelins?

Those cartoons are classics. They are untouchable, at least they were for the first 50 years that kids and adults got to enjoy them. I know kids need to be molded and taught right from wrong- but if Tom and Jerry are what old mom uses to teach moral responsibility in the first place- more than likely that kid is gonna be a smoker, or drug dealer.

This ain't Joe Camel- it's Tom and Jerry for Christ's sake. I can almost guarantee is was some religious zealot mother's and watchdog group with their panties wound too tightly who started this asinine crusade; maybe even the same group of asshats who tried to get Harry Potter books banned from schools because they promoted witchcraft. I wonder if these dickheads watched these cartoons as children and thought they were they were great fun then.

The article also states that Turner will be going thru Scooby, the Jetsons, and the Flintstones for said same content. SCOOBY-DOO? Although they never actually showed Shaggy smoking that bowl, we all know he is stoned off his ass. I know that NOW... didn't as a kid.

Don't you fucking people have anything better to do with your time and energy? Why not attack the crime problems, overcrowding in prisons, or health issues like AIDS or MDRTB. What a waste of resources, and of a great classic - being hacked to death by a P.C. generation. Maybe they will find a DVD market- like "Girls Gone Wild" where they can rate the looney toons R and sell them "Uncensored". I'd buy that!

(Here is a guide to how they have already hacked up classic cartoons in the age of Political correct bullshit.)
