Parent Finds Cartoon Block Offensive
Written by Bryn Tanner
Ever hear of Cartoon Network? If I could describe it perfectly, I'd say that it's a 24/7 cartoon block. Because that's what it is; a 24/7 cartoon block. The network airs such kids flare as The Powerpuff Girls, Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, and others, with a variety of programs that are sure to keep your kids entertained for thirty minutes. However, not everyone can be pleased, including Mrs. Hoover of Minneapolis, Minnesota, who was apalled by the latenight showings on Cartoon Network.
"It's absolutely disgusting that Cartoon Network could air such drek." Mrs. Hoover is referring to the Adult Swim block the network airs, every Sunday-Thursday and Saturday from 10 to 4. "I honestly do not see why any children's network should be exposing our children to such perversion and violence." Mrs. Hoover continued. "Hearing the words "damn" and "hell" muttered on the same network that shows Looney Tunes is absolutely absurd. I've even heard them say the b-word at points."
Mrs. Hoover discovered the block's alternate look on animation late one weekday night. "The first show, Family Guy, is an example of everything that's wrong with society. I was shocked from what I saw, and was amazed that any sane person could create something this vile, on a network that kids watch every day." The show stars Peter Griffin, a beer-guzzling porn-watching father to three kids, including a demented baby from Hell, as the show describes. "The baby is a bad influence on
children, as he tries to kill his mother in various ways and says naughty things." The next show, Futurama, was a show that Mrs. Hoover "Wasn't too big on, however, after the disgust from Family Guy it didn't seem too bad for children in comparison." The next show, Sealab 2021, heavily influenced her opinion further.
"The show has fouler language than Family Guy, is even more perverted, and shows how unintelligent the audience to these shows must be." she says. Sealab 2021 is a spoof on an older show, Sealab 2020, made less serious and adds more humor. "The cheapest animation I've seen in my life combined with the mindless dreck, it only makes a smelly roll of garbage that I do not want my children to be exposed to." The next show, comes from the land of the Rising Sun, Inuyasha, an action-based show about a demon dog and a time-travelling girl. "Inuyasha has extreme violence, swearing, perverted monks and demons... you'll frequently
see two girls bathing together, with the star character peeping from the
bushes." says Mrs. Hoover. "Characters slash each other with swords, feel
each other's unmentionable areas, and overall lead a bad influence on the
children watching." The next show Case Closed, also comes from Japan, dealing with murders, kidnappings, and crooks. "The moment I saw a character headless was the same moment I knew this show is not suitable for children. I demand such violence be taken off the air immediately."
Halfway through the episode of Case Closed, Mrs. Hoover contacted Cartoon Network, and angrily demanded the removal of the Adult Swim cartoon block. "This is unimaginable. I can not believe that this network has gotten away with showing such inappropriate shows such as these. I'm apalled, disgusted, and I will imagine better futures for children without this block. Adult Swim needs to swim all its way into cancellation." Mrs. Hoover said as she ended the interview.
See, in a perfect world, people like this are hung before they learn to talk.
