Cartoons

Seriously? It's a cartoon. It's similar to Ted Turner saying that Bugs Bunny is sexist, racist, and Speedy Gonzalez makes inappropriate fun of Hispanics. First, it's a f'in cartoon. Secondly, most Hispanics that I know LOVE Speedy Gonzalez. Personally, Babak, I think our generation is taking cartoons TOO seriously. They're cartoons. Did I grow up with Bugs Bunny? Watched it every Saturday. I think I turned out find. Did I go outside and play with my friends? Yes. Did my parents ever arrange "play dates" for me? Umm..fuck no. Was there ever a term "play date" when I was growing up in the 80'?. Fuck no. Did my parents spank me when I got out of line? Hell yes. What's that called? Discipline. What's my point? That our generation takes things so freakin' seriously now, that our kids grow up not being exposed to anything, either playing video games and never going outside or having these contrived "play dates," and instead of teaching kids some discipline parents simply go "Now Billy, I'm going to count to three and you'll stop okay?" In the meantime the kid's' being a disrespectful pain in the ass and still doing the thing that you want him or her to stop doing and can stop them from doing if you just give them a hard smack on the ass which will teach them pretty damn quick who's boss.
