Aren't these the same a**hats that banned bugs bunny, porky pig, Yosemite Sam and others because the cartoons were "too violent?" The ones they ran in for replacements were always more violent than the ones they banned and now you have sex and other crap thrown in too boot. However, let an old WWII bugs bunny cartoon run in which Japs are called Japs, at a time when they were killing millions of people all over the world and the lefties freak out.

Modern Cartoons are just another way for the left to tear the moral fabric of our society apart and replace it with the state. Typical communist tactic.

Gee, a TV channel called "Adult Swim" shows adult TV! Who'd a thunk it?

And, contrary to the assertion in this article, Adult Swim meticulously tags all their shows with the appropriate parental advisory ratings. Almost any modern TV has a control feature that allows a parent to block shows at any guidance level. And for the rest, there's something called an "off" switch, I believe.

Didn’t we go through this like 20 years ago when the Simpsons came out? Animated doesn’t mean it’s for kids. Jesus, people. PARENT. It’s a verb.

Adult Swim

Adult Swim doesn't air during prime-time (unless you're getting a satellite feed for another time-zone) and as the name indicates, it isn't intended for children.

Children should be seen and not heard, nor heard about.

The worst “cartoon” I have seen in recent history is the Family Guy episode where Stewie and Brian were locked in the Bank Vault.

You have to see it to believe it, no kidding.

If I’m not mistaken, every cable box has the option of blocking channels. We used to do it all the time, when our kids were little.

Memo to Parents Television Council: You aren’t supposed to let your children watch Adult Swim and Wonder Showzen.

Interesting article.

Maybe I'm just a grumpy, iconoclastic old man (maybe not so old, LOL), but I have never understood the appeal of these animated TV shows aimed at adult audiences. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for the old days of Loony Tunes, but I just don't get it.

The only modern-day animated show I ever found even mildly interesting was "King of the Hill," and even that was barely on my radar screen. Other than that show, I can honestly say that I've never watched more than five minutes of any animated TV show other than old classic cartoons.

The word “Parent” is the first thing in the source’s name. Maybe they should look it up.

nanny-staters, is there anything they don’t know?

Not only the cartoon channels!
Nat Geo runs 4 hour boner commercials and “taboo” ads at all hours. Discovery (I think) is now plugging it's new offering, “Why is sex fun?’ show at all hours. MTV is selling dildos. Disney and the weather channel are propagandists in any number of ways.
It's hard to parent when you are watching a decent, clean show and the commercials make you have to jump on the remote control constantly.

New to the posting reply thing so forgive me if I have done so in the wrong place. Not meant to be a response to any individual but comment to all who have posted here.

I recently was watching an episode of SpongeBob with my grandkids 3 and 6. To my displeasure they (cartoon) started talking about going on a panty raid to steal girls panties. The “older creepy” man in the cartoon was so excited and explained in detail how to do it! I am sorry but I do not think it is appropriate for children to be taught how to steal panties from girls in a panty raid. I thought maybe at first I was misunderstanding what I was hearing so I sat and watched it to make sure that is what they were talking about after asking my kids to go do something for me so they didn’t listen while I was trying to figure out what was going on. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. As a grandparent now and totally out of the loop on current children’s cartoons I realized how duped we are if we think that just because it is a cartoon it is for kids and just because it is the lated and most popular cartoon for kids doesn’t mean they should watch it. We will be sticking with tried and true Looney Toons in my house, OLD Looney Toons. I watched a few of the new ones and they have even gotten into adult themes that have no business being displayed for children. I am sorry but when bugs bunny is complaining about his new girlfriend and how controlling she is and how he wants him for a love machine, I AM OUT OF HERE!!! I will agree “parent” is a verb but it is given as an honorable title first. Honor it and live it and you will be the hero to your children and not some empty cartoon .
