I mean cutting smoking scenes from decade old cartoons? I take it someone has nothing better to do but to complain about it heh....

I've heard of some activists wanting to get rid of Speedy Gonzales because of the stereotypes of how it portrays mexican mice. I loved those cartoons, so hopefully that don't happen.

This is only the start of a lot of censorship... Once people notice it can be gotten away with on something like classic cartoons, it'll only be a matter of time before it spreads around (like it's been for rather awhile).

It's not a good thing to start, either...it sets bad precedents. These censorships could easily lead, 100 years from now, to 1984-esque occurrences.

Censorship has gotten worse, I'm Catholic and now it's wrong for us to say merry Christmas, what's next? Jews aren't allow to have bar mitzvas? It's getting so bad these days, I wouldn't be surpirsed if they attacked Who Framed Roger Rabbit over Jessica Rabbit being too revealing.
Yet the cartoons like Family Guy, The Simpsons are insulting nearly everyone and everything and guess what? That's right censorship doesn't exist for these cartoons. Even the cartoons like yu-gi-oh are censored beyond belief before we get to see them.
Let me just point out that Pokémon was edited in America so not to include guns, that's right the showing of guns(not firing them) is being censored and yet the news shows the army in Iraq with guns! Odd isn't it?

I have an idea, what if we censored censorship?
Thnik about it, if someone tries to censor something, we censor there censor, not bad eh?

Maybe tv execs will decide that cats need to be censored cause they make people think of pussy, so everytime they show a cat they block the image with a dog instead.

Can you think that in ten years the word bitch is going to be abolished, the word "lass" is going to be classed as racist.
