I think we need to either call in the "Wonder Twins," "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and "The Venture Brothers." B-)

LOL! Somehow I doubt the Venture brothers would be much help here!

Seriously though, I heard some clips of this on Savage's show, and I was speechless. I cannot even imagine the perverted brainstorming sessions the writers had when creating this tripe. They should all be ashamed of themselves...yeah, right.

Good point although I think Brock Samson alone could take care of her with one hand, or knife, behind his back. B-)

Yeah, I think seriously, the crux of the matter is that we lost a lot of the idea of shame in our society. Yes, there are times that we need to quit the use of shame if the offender and/or the person who has made a mistake shows the willingness to repent, redeem, change, or whatever you want to term it and live the good life, but there were times that you didn't make things like this cartoon in polite society. Sure, you might have had things like this in the past but they were very, very underground and you had to know somebody who knew somebody and so on to see it. At one time, if something like this broke out into the main eye of the public, that's when the shame and condemnation came out and it stopped this stuff in its tracks.

I guess that's why I admire the Victorian and 1950's era so much, yes, people can and were just as bad then but at least polite society at large had spoken and unspoken rules of what was good behaviour and in many cases, it discouraged a lot of that, imperfect as the system was. I'm not for turning the clock back on things like technology and civil rights but in the way people treated each other with respect and civility I'd be all for it.
