Parents Beware!!

[Bones75]

This has got to be a joke.

Don't these people have anything better to do?

[cripplecreek]

I thought they made fun of cross dressing in the movie.

[Fudd Fan]

it's cold up there

"The article then proceeds to describe one of the characters, an "evil" bartender (voiced by Larry King) who is a male-to-female transgender in transition and who expresses a sexual desire for Prince Charming."
Blessed are those obscene in spirit, for they shall see sex everywhere...

And all this time I thought only the DUmmies had a stick up their ass. I guess this is an affliction that crosses even moral and political lines.

[CaptRon]

Yes, things like this really help the conservative cause.

Wonder how these people felt about Milton Berle?

[Happygal]

Don't these people have anything better to do?

Obviously not.

[Rex Anderson]

The Traditional Values Coalition has nothing better to do, trust me.

[wimpycat]

They were making fun of Michael Jackson with the Pinocchio character. That's what I got out of it, anyway.

[El Conservador]

Some people just go too far...

It's good that there's people out there that want to bring back decency standards in entertainment, but sometimes there are others who just push the envelope, seeing immoral stuff where there's none.

Who's next??? Tom and Jerry? Captain America? Elmo? The CareBears?

Puh-leese!!!

[Paleo Conservative]

"Shrek 2 is billed as harmless entertainment but contains subtle sexual messages,"

What was subtle about them?

[Darkwolf377]

The DUmmies say "Thank you for the ammo!"

REALLY important issue--the morality of cartoon characters. Bunch of busybodies with too mush time on their hands.

You don't like it, don't watch it!

[hansel]

I wish they wouldn't do this. You can't fight every battle and this just seems very petty.

I think they are making too much out of this and just gives people a reason to say "Jeez. They can't even take a joke."

Big mistake, IMHO. Pick a target that is worth something if you win.

"This has got to be a joke.

Don't YOU have better things to do rather than demonstrate that you are rather clueless on the subject?

[Strategerist]

Remember the immense amounts of nonsense regarding "Alladin"?

[BenLurkin]

More exposure of the wierdness in Hollywierd.

[Yinzer]

Nope, Warner Brothers. They're gonna go after Bugs Bunny. Remember the times he dressed as a girl bunny. And you just know Yosemite Sam was a closeted gay as angry as he was. Daffy Duck with his speech impediment, obviously gay. And Foghorn Leghorn was a no good womanizer. We must get these cartoons off the air to save the children!

[wimpycat]

Oh, you know Tom and Jerry had a thing going on. They were obsessed with each other, dontcha know. And Bugs Bunny was always cross dressing and kissing Elmer Fudd on the lips and stuff:

Gay! Gay! Gay!

(For the humor impaired: This has been a joke. This has been only a joke. If this had been an actual sincere comment, then some real-life Looney Tune would have said it, not me.)
