Technology Liberation Front: UK Censors Tom & Jerry Cartoons

    I am only disappointed that you have given UK regulators more ideas for regulating in your blog entry.

    Exactly what I blogged recently: "If your children are watching Tom and Jerry, which do you think is more disturbing, the all pervasive violence, or the occasional, over-glamorized, puff of smoke? If either of those are disturbing to you, why don't you just change the goddamn channel like you would if a steamy scene came up, instead of blaming your lack of parental responsibility on the poor animator?"

    I have an extreme dislike for characters smoking in TVs and in the movies. However, these are old cartoons and a product of their time. Old media content should not be edited, that's the way it was.

    Well, I have to say I'm glad my tax dollars didn't go to Ofcom.

    Jerry the mouse never looked like a smoker. Tom the cat though, hmmm, you could sense he would do anything to please a female cat, like light up.
