Cartoon Correctness

Tom and Jerry violently attack one another, and run around without clothes. But it is the duo's infrequent liking for a smoke that serves as the impetus for a British television network cutting the offending scenes of the cartoon cat smoking a cigarette and the cartoon mouse smoking a cigar. One viewer's complaint sparked the move. Do they get Scooby Doo in England and does that one viewer know what goes on in the back of the Mystery Machine?

The Mystery Machine won't bother them. The Brits are all about getting it on, you just can't have a cigarette afterwards.

U.S. tv has forced the editing of the old cartoons for decades.

Kind of funny that a nation so heavily dependent on cigarette smoking as Britain would try to ban it in cartoons. Funny odd - not funny Ha Ha. Yank cartoon b'stards!

First step to quitting?
