‘Tom & Jerry’ Smoking Scenes to Be Cut’
LONDON (Aug. 21) - Turner Broadcasting is scouring more than 1,500 classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including old favorites Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones and Scooby-Doo, to edit out scenes that glamorize smoking.
They are going to edit out scenes from classic cartoons just because some British woman complained about 2 Tom and Jerry episodes?
Do you think this is outrageous?
If so call the Toonfuse hotline.

You can not censor history!!!!
I grew up watching cartoons where the characters would smoke or try to kill each other, and I don’t do neither of them.
I hate parents spending their time trying to censor every thing to protect their kids, when actually they should be educating their kids to let them know about the good and bad things in the world. What this parents are doing is pretty much like trying to cover the sun with a thumb. You are just painting a beautiful world to your kids. Sooner or latter they will find out about the cruel world. The solution is not censorship, is EDUCATION!!
