thanks for the CN editing interview

I was watching CN today and saw a Bugs Bunny cartoon in which there were gangsters and they were using machine guns and pistols.

Yosemity Sam uses them all the time, but since no-one actually gets shot, it's ok.
Marven the martian uses a laser pistol, but he never gets killed when he's shot "You're making me very very angry."
Wile E. Coyote and Tom from "Tom And Jerry" never get seriously hurt, even when they fall from a great distance, and when Elmer Fudd shoots Daffy Duck, you either see his bill on the ground (still talking for getting around the severed body parts rule), his face gets burned, or his feathers fly off "Fortunately, I keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency."

Tell that to the parents who actually had to go to the hospital because little Billy hit little Tommy with a frying pan. It's mostly because of stuff like this why censorship is in place.

I don't think many kids have anvils, but many have a good sense of aggresion they get out through cartoons and comic-books.
I'm sure there's a person out there we'd all like to drop an anvil on, like how Yacko, Wacko, and Dot does.

Sure, most of us (myself included) grew up with the Warners and Disney, but keep in mind, it's a fantasy world with violent talking animals and humans some children think is a good way to get back at a friend or sibling.

Corrected English and grammar aside (no offence), I still say the media doesn't cause events in the child's surroundings.
The times they (we) live in effect the media.

It sounds like you speak from experience.
Is that correct?
