CapNColostomy sat at his desk. Inebriated. Weary. Highly pissed. When as sudden and unexpected as a lightning bolt up the ass, he spoke to himself as though his mouth and his brain belonged to two seperate people "I don't think I'd care to see anything like the post TiE made again. Ever." And they lived happily ever after.

Hey now, the Power Rangers rule. Green Ranger was the best.

 

 

DRAGONZORD!

 

 

I don't remember them saying "don't use violence to solve your problems" that much. I do remember that the Green Ranger would sometimes say it at the end of the show, but not all the time.

 

 

I'm just glad cartoons [i watch] these days don't have those moral lessons mentioned.

 

 

Reading that now made me remember thsoe little shorts they had at the end where they teach the little lessons. In one of em, some big guy was walking with a glass of milk and some little kid bumped into him and spilled the milk all over the big guy. The kid got all scared cause the big guy was now all wet and looked mad, and the kid put up his fists ready to fight, and the big guy was like "It's ok, I should watch where I'm going". Then Billy, or Jason, or someone goes to the screen and says "don't solve your yadda-yadda-yadda..."

 

hehehe, crazy dragonzord. I remember everytime it rose from the seas when it was evil it'd bite down on the same red/white smokestack like a peppermint stick.

 

and to Tie and Capn:

 

......yeah.... >_>

While the group was discussing their subject on morals that appear in cartoons

from the 90's and the apparent hypocrisy the corny characters brought upon themselves.

Tie stayed silent in a corner thinking to himself unnoticed. The subject floated along like

a boat on a river destined to rapids while its passengers argued with each other on

whether to jump and make it for shore, to try and paddle it, or to just to ride it through

and hope for the best.

 

It hit points where they argued why the writers even had moral lessons at the end

and argued about them. Then they immediately switched sides joined the writers because

of the obligations instilled by the viewer's parents; fearing that their opinion on the

seemingly harmless cartoon violence could harm their children. Then labeling the show

as a bad influence on the children.

 

The discussion continued and Tie thus because increasingly frustrated from his

combination of fatigue and not understanding what they were all in a fit about,

not experiencing being a fan of shows like GI Joe, Power Rangers and the like. Then he

realized the insanity of the subject and the people discussing it, all grown men who

should have long passed this phase but still enthralled by the enforcement of social

correctness on their favorite shows. Nostalgia played a part in their attempted

explanations for their considered heresy and infringement of free speech in the creator’s

art.

 

But the thought still lingered and bounced around in his head, “Why are these

people discussing cartoons in such a feverish way? It was if their best friend was framed

for a crime he didn’t commit and they could do nothing about getting them out of jail.

This is ridiculous.”

 

Tie sat for a few more moments and considered the ideas, frustrated and annoyed

he considered leaving, not understanding anything about this subject of “Moral lessons in

cartoons” when it should be left alone.

 

“This is why I don’t watch cartoons,” he grumbled to himself and lowered his

eyes down to the table. The talking started to stop and it became very silent, he wasn’t

listening so he didn’t know if they had come to an agreement of

just simply ran out of ideas.

 

Few more moments passed and an uncomfortable feeling washed over him. He

felt a little paranoid and self conscience as if the stop had been because of him. He then

raised his head to see what the matter was and saw that everyone was looking at him. A

dumb look went over his face and he stared back at

the small crowd gathered around the table. He tried to think of a response but only

blurted out a “What?” to the people.

 

“Are you ****ing narrating?” said IG.

 

“Erm… yah. Why?” he responded, furiously embarrassed. Suddenly the large

room felt stuffy.

 

“Why?” said another, farther away; he couldn’t tell who.

 

Tie let out no response and left it at that. All shared the same confused feelings

for him and what had happened. He had for no real reason just wrote two pages of a story

narrating a thread. Subjects changed and many criticisms came up onto the table.

 

Hmm... *shuffles out* :p

 

I'll be reading this thread tomorrow morning, ta-ta.

 

 

Pulizter much?

I didn't really care one way or another as a kid, but in hindsight, I assume that it was the animators/producers/whatever's way of getting the "cartoon violence makes serial killers" lobbists of their backs without having to alter the actual content of the show.

 

I mean, wouldn't you rather they tack that 30 second clip onto the end of the show instead of changing scooby-do to non-potheads?

I remember when I played arcade games and when you ran out of quarters it would say something like "PAYED BY THE BUERO OF GAMING SUPERVISION. REMEMBER WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS" I was wondering what was up with that. You hear drugs are bad every were and now thet have to slander it on games? I mean a better slogan would be: "GAMERS DONT USE CHEATS"

I hate the end of South Park where they say like what they learned and what you shouldn't do. It totally ruined South Park, made it look like a 5 year-old cartoon show.

It's a parody to add the lessons at the end. Finger-to-the-nose way to tell the angry parents where to stick it when they get angry about the bad influences of the show.

 

Also the show has been around for what- like 10 years now? :xp:
