Reminds me of the time that two animators working for Walt Disney drew a cel of Mickey and Minnie having sex and stuck it in the middle of an animation they were working on just to see if Disney would notice it.

He did, and laughed it off. And then promptly fired them.

Heh. I have the "Time Machine Box 1979" and I sure as hell won't exchange it for a censored version.

Yes, the word condom is very bad. However, the recurring joke of a little girl being walked in on naked or put in sexual situations is a-ok

It's always funny how the only time you hear of cases like these is they're usually over something that seems inconsequential and trivial in comparison to the other kind of stuff in the series.

Reminds how animators at Disney slipped in pictures of naked women in the windows of buildings during a driving scene in "The Rescuers" back in the 80's, and Disney didn't notice it for quite some time. There are a decent bit of very interesting little blunders like this in Disney's editing history, actually; take a look at Snopes sometime if you have a few hours to waste (I literally spent 5 straight hours on that site one time, neglecting homework xD)

Reminds me of the "English Test" from the first episode of Sailor Moon S where "Mr. Ikuhara", director of Sailor Moon R, went to Roppongi "to do nanpa" and "applied for comfort to any tender girl" (which can just mean "flirt" or can mean "look for a prostitute", depending on which interpretation you believe).

Well sure, in a country with a plummeting birth rate I'm sure they'd want to get boys interested early and avoid making them aware of contraceptives. Wink
