  • While on the subject of Cartoons

    Let's talk about the cartoon characters that have been around for decades but if they were introduced today would not pass the strict rules of television for kids these days.


    Jokey Smurf.
    This is a no brainer, Jokey is a cruel person who takes delight in letting things explode into others' faces and laughing at their expense. Even more so he never learns, his terroristic ways have landed him in prison (During the "King smurf" adventure) being repeatly beaten up by the other smurfs and it even had Papa Smurf giving him house arrest. But as soon as the opportunity arises he walks out once more with his exploding giftboxes, ready to once again laugh at somebody's expense.


    Donald Duck
    According to the modern demographic Donald Duck would have never made it. Because he's loudmouthed violent and extremely moody. Not to mention that he's also prone on hitting his nephews with a branch if they pull something on him. He would be branded a child molester.


    Jerry
    Let's be honest here, Tom is not the bad guy in this cartoon. It is his job to guard the house and keep it free from vermin, his paycheck is the fact that he gets a roof over his head and that people feed him. Jerry however is a mouse one of the most unhygenic animals around, he lives in a house where he's unwanted, steals food and puts the blame all on Tom. If the object is to show Good prevailing over evil, in Tom and Jerry it's always the other way around. Jerry is making Tom's life a living hell and he's always coming out on top? Such a mean character would NEVER have a chance on today's TV.

    This was my first love and morning wood. I remember sitting in front of our counsel TV with the rabbit ears watching Betty Boop. I was wearing my pajamas with the button fly and no matter if my fly was buttoned or not..my pud would pop thru. Well I must admit, I did pull my pork to Mrs Boop on several occasions when my mom wasn't looking or busy ironing cloth, or chores, just enough time to rub one out. This is when no goo came out. It was during the pre goo period in my life. This also happened during "I dream of Jeanie"..but that wasn't a cartoon. I don't want to get off topic . Well my obsession of Betty Boop lasted throughout my entire life until I married the one and only real life Betty Boop. Yes, my wife of 21 years looks and sounds exactly like Betty Boop. Ever since I met my wife, I always bought her Betty Boop stuff. She has the same figure and she's tiny..4'10" and 88-90lbs. One time I bought her a one pice Betty Boop top/bottom pice with kiss prints all over it..it also had a button fly..so I shoved my Boop Boop De Boop..in Da Bop Bop Da Bop!!!

    NIIIIICE!

      Hmmm. Sounds like Betty Boop? I couldn't do it. I'd strangle her after 5 minutes


      Other cartoons that wouldn't pass the "PC test":

      Popeye: Talk about violence! Every episode features him and Bluto/Brutus (depending on the era) in an overly-destructive brawl. As well, Olive Oyl promotes the idea that girls should be pencil-thin.
      Wimpy promotes the idea that it's ok to be a worthless bum. Oh wait, that does fall within the confines of being P.C., I forgot

      Speed Racer: Despite the success(?) of the movie, a teenager driving a race car gives kids the wrong idea - that cars only have 2 speeds - stop and go-as-fast-as-you-can, and that chicks dig guys who drive flashy cars that go fast.
      Oh wait, they do. Well, the dumb ones who will end up preggers at 16 do anyway


      The Hair Bear Bunch: Hmmm. Maybe.


      On the issue of Tom and Jerry, Tom is perceived as "The Man", and Jerry is considered a "Robin Hood" of sorts. Tom is always oppressing Jerry's essence and trying to keep the little mouse-brother down, while Jerry, the little brown giant, gives him fits by fighting against the system that Tom symbolizes. Werd up, bizzle.

      However, Klondike Cat wouldn't go over. He's a Canadian Mountie (thus, a cop) and his arch-nemesis is a mouse. Basically it's Tom and Jerry in Canuckistan, the land of socialist...errr, I mean Socialized healthcare. Being that KC is a cop, he also represents an oppressive system that seeks to hold down those who would challenge the system in various forms of free speech, including theft (because, after all, aggressive action against another is the exact same as speaking publicly, and is therefore protected under the Inter-Galactic Bill Of Rights that follows you around no matter what country you're in).


      You may have noticed the utter lack of Yosemite Sam in the last 10+ years. Loudmouthed redneck with guns. Never mind the comedy, he's a white supremacist (just like everyone who lives south of the borders of Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Vermont, and all the other New England states, and east of Nevada, Colorado, and Nebraska).
      Then he's got those awful guns that jump up by themselves and kill little children by the bajillions every day.
      And he's so proud of being from the South, like he doesn't even know that a small percentage of white people in the South had Africans as slaves to work in their fields over 200 years ago. I mean, what's up with this guy? Just because everyone who was directly involved with and lived under slavery are long dead, he thinks it's ok to go 5 minutes without even mentioning it, AND he's never apologized for something he had no hand in to the descendents of those who are long dead! The shame!


      How about Porky Pig? Stuttering profusely is bad, according to his portrayal. He's always the butt of the joke because he has a temporal lobe disorder that prevents him from speaking properly. Definitely not P.C.

      Elmer Fudd: Friend of the NRA, hunter of wild animals both furred and feathered. He's just another symbol of the big dumb pro-gun redneck lobby like Yosemite Sam.

      Sylvester the cat: This heathen is always trying to eat a poor defenseless canary. He spends all day devising ways to make life miserable for the poor defenseless birdy, kinda like a Government official. Never mind that the bird always wins, the bad ol puddy tat needs to be brought before a Senate sub-committee.

      Granny: Tweety's elderly caretaker has 3 strikes at the onset: 1. She's white. 2. She's old. 3. She beats Sylvester with an umbrella or a broom. She's abusive to animals in general, even Tweety. See how she keeps him locked in a cage all the time? She's selfish, preferring to keep the cute little defenseless canary all to herself instead of letting him fly free to share his birdsong with the rest of the world. She's interfering with nature by keeping him as a pet. And she bought him from a pet store, which was probably a front for a pet-mill where puppies ad kittens and little tweety birds were being churned out like sausage in a dank and filthy basement under the store.


      Speedy Gonzales: He's affront to Hispanics everywhere. Everything about him screams "I'm a walking-talking racial slur".
      He's is fast and industrious, dependable, and always ready willing and able to thwart the devious plans of "The Man" - Sylvester the cat (the same despicable cad who terrorizes that poor little canary). To top it off, he speaks ENGLISH! The shame!
      I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

      The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

            Is that something like a Boop creampie? No, I don't have the creampie..Mrs Boop does..:ROTF:

            I just wished Mrs Boop would have a creampie in her brown eye..but that will never happen!!!

            You know Disney has alot of X rated shit in their cartoons..like puds and shit..all subliminal like. this is a ploy to turn everyone into sexual deviants that get busted on Dateline by Chris Hanson!!!

              Santa Claus!
              Last night I was watching Rudolph with my kids. Santa tells Donnor that Rudolphs nose better get fixed if he ever wants to be on the sleigh team. The the reindeer coach (Blitzen?) freaks when he sees Rudolph and tells all the other reindeer to stay away from him and don't let him play the games. We all know the story, but they way it is presented in that old claymation would never pass if it was made today. Good thing his nose saved the day or they would have beat the little bastard and stuck him under an igloo somewhere.

                Although not a cartoon, Land of the Lost was geared toward kids and contained some blatant racism which wouldn't pass by today's standards. For example, which was the only intelligent and civilized Sleestack? The light-skinned one. Terrible. Just terrible.
