Yeah, when somethign is actually happening. Is wear I tried to watch an episode of the Frieza saga the other day, and 60% of the show was Goku and Frieza standing around staring at each other. It drove me insane. HOW MANY ESTABLISHING SHOTS DO YOU NEED, CON-FLAB IT!?

Remeber the one where Frieza impales krillin that is the most violent episode I think, and they didn't even censor it!!!!

Oh yes they did! Because in the original version, he didn't just stab Krillin. He actually left him on his horn, shook him around a bit, and drank some of his blood before throwing him off in the ocean. It was by far the most violent moment in any of the DB series.

You've gotta be kidding. There's got to be far more violent animated fair on TV than Teen Titans.

Of course there is... stupid 'family' research groups!

USA Article on Violent Cartoons

(I love how the article above shows a picture of the old 'New' Teen Titans TPB which has little to nothing to do with the animated show. lol.)

The Parents Television Council analyzed 444 hours of kids' daytime programs last summer and detailed 2,794 violent incidents, even after sifting out "cartoony" moments like those involving the Road Runner. That's 6.3 incidents an hour — more than the PTC found in prime time aimed at adults during a 2002 study.

Programs like Teen Titans on the Cartoon Network and ABC Family Channel's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers often feature intense fights with swords, guns and lasers, the group said.

The watchdog group also criticized networks for coarsening the dialogue with potty humor and mean-spirited name-calling. There's also been a trend toward mimicking movies in including double-entendres so shows will appeal to both children and adults, their report said.

Rich said he didn't expect critical reports like this to change the industry's habits. Only if parents become more aware and reject violent shows will the industry listen, he said.

"This should be the age of utter innocence for a child," Bozell said. "Hollywood should do anything within its power to protect that innocence."


Utter bullshit. YES WORLD... FEED YOUR CHILDREN BARNEY UNTIL THEY GO TO COLLEGE!!! That will ASSURE that they will turn out perfectly normal. Yeah... normal.




Mmm, boy. Yet another [sarcasm] EXCELLENT [/sarcasm] study from L. Brent Bozell III and the PTC.

I suggest you guys read this book: Foley Is Good: And The Real World Is Faker Than Wrestling The last third of it details wrestler Mick Foley's quest to debunk one of the PTC's bullshit studies about how "WWF Smackdown!" was one of the most violent shows on TV. Not only entartaining, but very informative.

For instance, did you know that L. Brent Bozell III's grandfather was the main speech writer for Senator Joseph McCarthy? What does that tell you?

You should go to an airport where its snowing, run out on the runway and yell "HHHOOOOoooolllllllLLLLLLYYYYYyyyyyyyy!!!".

Oh and kill a bunch of badguys while you're there.

But yes, it sucks to not be with someone you want to be with.
