Smoking scenes to be cut from classic cartoons

[Mr. Smash'n Bash]

RogueLDN, any art from the past is a document of it's time. it doesn't matter if it's a Tony the Tiger commercial from the early days of television.
We get to look back and learn something about the culture then, especially when compared with the culture now.
The fact that they're historic doesn't mean that they're necessarily as significant as other relics from the past, just that they were created in the past.
If they went back and drew in cell phones and computers in old cartoons from the 30's and 40's, yeah, I think that would be criminally defacing an historic piece of art.

Exactly, Art is history. Why do you think they have Art History classes.

And to think it was just yesterday when I complained that Lucas had added Christensen at the end of "Jedi"

 

[enterthemadness]

I'm sure I ain't the only one to say this...but I would really love to smack the person who complained about this across their damn face. first thundercats being remade as a crappy show on crap network (WB) and now this nonsense.

 

[hippy fascist]

The problem with this kind of thing is it's rarely a majority consensus. It's like when TV show's get pulled. Normally it's about 150 people that have complained and the rest of us all have to suffer because of these whiney little *****es. And they say we live in a democracy...

This kind of thing is why you yanks had to miss out on god the devil and Bob while we in the UK got the entire series. Don't even get me started on the strangelhold christianity has over america!

Yes that's right, SIX angry smilies!

No, Britain's just as bad, kid's have to wear safety goggles if they want to play conkers these days. It all comes down to this suing culture that's permeating the world as we know it. No-one wants to take responsibility for their own actions anymore so we have to wrap the world up in cotton wool. If I trip over a paving slab I don't think "damn I'm gonna sue the local council for this". I think "damn why wasn't I looking were I was going. I'm a dumbass"

Actually, I'm starting to think that it's Caucasion people in general.

Not all of you, but I'm just saying.

Horse chestnuts with a piece of string tied through them. You have to smack the other guys conker with you're own until it breaks. You take it in turns and it's kinda last man standing. Schoolkids play it in the playground in autumn over here. Here's a video to illustrate

Many a bruised knuckle in my childhood...

Thanks for the vid link. I have to say, after watching it, that I really don't get the attraction, though. Seems kind of boring.

That's lame. I hate censorship. I can honestly say that I've never been tempted to smoke from watching cartoons.

Yeah but the games for like 5 to 15 year olds and its free and out doors... what more do you want. them to sit at home and watch a cat smoking?

I wonder why Tom was never short of breath doing all that running about whilst smoking...

Still seems boring. What's next? "Oh, look! I found a stick! Yay!"

When I was that age I was playing my trumpet, drawing, playing baseball and soccer, and running around the neighborhood with my mates.

It's also great for inflicting pain on your peers without comebacks..."oh, I'm so sorry dude I missed the conker and hit your fingers, silly me..."

Most kids do that at the age of 13, then its an on going thing....


By the way we play with sticks as well...
