Honestly, I think it's a plot to destroy America. Hear me out:
In the olden days kids watched cartoons like G.I. Joes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spider-Man, and He-Man. These cartoons all expound upon ideals of personal responsibility, rugged toughness and powerful masculinity (i.e. He-Man). And who remembers Mutant League?
Now, kids watch shows like Pokemon, a cartoon featuring a boy who is quite possibly the sissiest protagonist next to Harry Potter. Cartoons are all flash and jumping up and down and corny creatures fighting each other with little to no lesson to them and where actual conflict is avoided almost entirely. In other countries, however, kids are being shown all sorts of crap that is on the complete opposite end of the scale. Generations from now, America will be populated with overtly p.c. nancy boys while the rest of the world is filled with deangerous, decencitized, killing mahcines.
The United States will be eaten alive and then the rest of the free world will fall. As they overun us and capture our facilities, these crazed killers will get their hands on advanced technology with world destroying capabilities. Their brains won't have the ability to cogitate upon the compounding responsibilities that come from such power and if someone actually brings up M.A.D. the only thing they will hear is AD. Weapons will be used, a war will rage and the Earth, nay, the entire universe will be destroyed! So now, I ask, I beg, I demand you write your congressman immediately and petition to restore Saturday mornings from an opportunity for extra sleep to their days of yore glory!
