RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] saturday morning cartoons are evil

Call it guilt by association.  "Ooh, he likes her." was the response of my
10 yr old brother.  He didn't understand the inuindo totally, but he's seen
enough for it to be effecting him and sinking in.  The problem isn't just
TS2, but TS2 is one of the many cartoons that are contributing to this
all-too-early introduction to sexual nuances.  Even in the low quality
cartoons, the female characters almost always have disproportionate
'anatomy' focusing the childs mind on things they shouldn't be noticing till
at least puberty.

What; I'm not part of the intended audience? :-)  Seriously, the
wing-schwing move is...interesting in that all non-innocent
interpretations basically require you to be non-innocent.  No kid I've
ever seen watch the movie has interpreted this as anything but (at most)
a gesture of surprise.
