Well, if
hatless is gonna
BBS, then I get to, also!
I've seen the
cartoon in question. When
Mighty Mouse sniffs the
flowers, a light
vapor rises from the flowers and goes into his
nostrils, just like it has done for any other
cartoon character who
smells flowers. That doesn't equal
cocaine advocacy, any more than
Donald Duck's
lack of pants equals
nudity advocacy.
As for
Pee-Wee Herman's show, when I was able to
watch it, it always struck me as a very
fun and
funny show that kids enjoyed watching. Pee-Wee never took his
pants down and
whacked off. He did that on his own
time. The fact that he enjoyed
beating off in
porno theaters doesn't mean that his
show was an
adult program.
When one
assumes that the most
negative interpretation is always
correct, and that the
actor cannot be separated from the
character he plays, that is what creates
censors like Donald Wildmon.
Oh, and just to keep this
on-topic (kinda), "
The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse" was a hugely
hilarious show. The single best
character?
The Cow. Any character whose
catchphrase is "
I! Am! The Cow! Moo!" is
A-OK in my book.
