...there is a place where Speedy can still be found zipping across TV screens ....The Cartoon Network Latin America, where, ironically enough, Speedy Gonzales is "hugely popular," Aint that always the case?

"What about Pepe LePew? His chasing of unwilling females surely sends the message to children that's it's OK to stalk and attack them if they resist," he wrote in an e-mail. "Plus, because he's French, does this mean that all Frenchmen are sexual predators?" Don't give them ideas.

If they don't want to show them they should sell the rights to someone who does.

Given that Speedy always outwits his foes, I would think that he should be an honor to Mexicans.

If they don't want to show them they should sell the rights to someone who does.Exactly! They don't have to show anything they don't want to show. But to maintain the rights to something that they never intend to show is censorship. I'm sure they see themselves as protectors of innocence but they're just bowing and scraping to the gods of PC.
What irony that they're shown and "hugely popular" on cartoon network Latin America. That proves that they're not afraid of offending Latin Americans, but they're afraid of offending the PC police.

How long until the American Bar Association gets offended by THIS character? <|:)~

Networks like the Cartoon Network have edited out scenes from or simply refused to show animated movies with now-questionable gags or behavior like smoking or drinking since the 1980s. I guess this explains why I haven't seen "Underdog" around lately. We can't let our children watch a pill popping superhero can we?
"The secret compartment of my ring I fill, with an Underdog super-energy pill."

It's funny that the generation that watched all these 'biased', 'unicultural', and 'undiverse' cartoons as kids during the '40s and '50s was able to push the civil rights changes in the '60s and '70s. At the same time, the children of the 80's PC are giving us racist rappers, 'la Razzzzzzzzzzzzzzza', Ebonics and all kinds of ethnic separatist movements.

As far as rodents go, you just can't beat Mighty Mouse.
