== Hypocrisy in Cartoon Censorship ==
Why doesn't someone mention the hypocritical situation that, in the 2000s, cartoons that could be seen to be negative to black people, Native Americans, Asians, Arabs, smokers, cross-dressers (even though this was common in pantomime), alcholics, women, intellectuals (and those of low intelligence), anyone who looks disabled and who acts without espousing the virtues of their disability, and just about any other concept the politically-correct types despise on any given day, are cut to ribbons or are no longer shown, leaving those containing only (once-censored - irony!) flatulence and gross belching (such as that found at a sleazy hotel on a Saturday night). Oh, don't forget modern teens types 'with attitude' who constantly say 'Duh!' every five minutes, and fat people - why are animators still permitted to make fun of fat people? For this reason I will not let any of my grandchildren watch these low-brow excuses for entertainment. How a child's mind can be expected to think if he is exposed to this tripe is beyond me. How the hell can something that comes out of someone's backside be considered funny? (unless it is a modern 'streetwise' cartoon, of course). If competition with computer games and 'censorship' prevent the creation of quality animated product for fear of offending some group, then DON'T MAKE ANY MORE CHILDREN'S CARTOONS.
Does anyone agree with me?
