Not to mention the editing out of the cartoon suicides. "Well, now I've seen everything," and then the cartoon cat/dog/bird/mouse/whatever puts the revolver against his head and pulls the trigger. I always found that shit funny. At least as funny as an anvil crashing down on someone's head. You wanna know why? Because it's a fucking cartoon, and I always knew it wasn't real!



Exactly.

I get that Boomerang and co. have to look at the bottom line - at the end of the day, its a business and nobody wants their profits hit. I think its not so much a "concern" for what kids may d or see, but fear of advertisers w/drawing their ads, etc., which equals bookoo bucks. So, it makes sense on a financial level, but what still bothers me - beyond the editing - is that we all grew up watching this and I don't believe that anyone took these cartoons seriously. Wil E. Coyote falling off a cliff; Tom getting hit by an anvil, etc. - anything that by today's standards is offensive or deemed too dangerous - did anyone really have a problem with any of this while growing up? Since the company is dressing it up as concern for its viewers well then, my question is: if our generation was ok with it, why is the next generation being handled with kid gloves?


Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
