Stop editing my cartoons!

Why, why, why do you idiots do it? Why is it that if I sit down to watch a Looney Tunes cartoon, that just happens to be on the air before midnight, that the violence is all taken out? What the hell, a few months ago I was watching the Rabbit of Seville episode of Bugs Bunny and the completely cut out the part where Elmer and Bugs run back and forth with knives and axes and guns, they took it out! A classic piece of americana absolutley raped by some uptight editor.Don't even mention a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, they are all over the cutting room floor. Parents I ask you, How many children did we lose in anvil related deaths that we had to edit them out completely? What was our average death toll of people who ate out of the bowl in the road that was sitting on the big white X? How many lost souls fell to thier deaths because the rocket shoes they wore blasted them off a cliff or thier Acme bat suits wings dissintegrated? I have the numbers right here, ahha, just as i thought, none, zero, zilch, nada, bupkis. Years ago, Beavis and Butthead were held responsible for a fire caused by a young boy, forcing Mike Judge to make Beavis stop saying, FIRE! Here are some points to ponder, the fire happened in a trailer park in Moraine, Ohio and was started by a five year old boy who was left alone with his two year old sister, sadly the two year old died from burns. The fire was started when the boy discovered his mothers lighter, mom had left the children alone while she socialized outside, (witness claim) at the time Beavis and Butthead was aired on Mtv, a cable network, the family didn't have cable. Even though the lawsuit wass dropped, the cartoons remain heavily edited of content. My take, a child in a trailer park who is interested in fire and all things flammable, not unheard of I suppose, if I had to grow up near Dayton. Oh. I'd burn stuff too. This all points to parents not wanting to take the blame for thier childrens stupidity so, we the classic cartoon fan suffer. As a child I did my share of life threating, stupid things as all kids should but my father always had these words of wisdom for me when I screwed up rally bad, " Joe, what the hell is wrong with you"? and "if you do something like that again I am gonna beat your butt blue"! Being that I come from a naturally curious background, let's just say I got my share of spankings. My point is that my parents took an active roll in smacking me when I was bad and because of that I have never let my natural urges take over and killed all the annoying people I run into on a daily basis. Your children are your responsibility not televisions or the malls, yours! If they grow up rotten it's your fault not the media. So I urge you America, stop editing my cartoons, no one has ever been killed by mistaking TNT for a cigar and if they have that is a display Darwinism at its best. Parents, take an active roll in your childrens lives and when they are bad and won't listen, smack them. See, the answer isn't less violence, it's more violence. Children who grow up with a healthy respect for pain are better people, I believe if I was raised in a timeout kind of family, I would be in prison right now, but I am a normal, well adjusted working, contributing member of society, because i was physically punished as a child. I swear, however, that if you people keep editing my Luney Toons I am gonna have to start kickin' some ass! bye.

I completely agree with you and couldn't have said it better... Censorship is a very wrong thing that shouldn't be forced upon anyone... People need to censor themselves... you don't like it look away... and smack your children, they deserve it!
