A lot of newbies choose the avatar without knowing it's connection to a certain banned member, and it prejudices my opinion of them. I'm sure they're nice people, but that avatar is like cancer to my eyes now.


I think that avatar existed well before AWK. There were a few good members who had it before him. Doesn't bother me.


Yeah, like Jedi Master, the Joke Thread Master.

AND I MADE A DEAL WITH ADAM THAT SHOULD KEEP HIM AWAY FROM HERE AND FROM CONTACTING ANYBODY WHO HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS SITE. IF HE FAILS TO STAY WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE DEAL HE WILL BE PROSECUTED AS A sex offender.


Or you could just turn him in anyway, and when he protests, you could say "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

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?
