• "What? Tom and Jerry are smokers!? Oh, we can't have that." At least, that's what's going down in Britain, more or less. As it seems, a single person compained about a particular classic cartoon, which resulted in a complete overhaul of the Boomerang network's programming. Now Boomerang is going to go back through all of its TV shows and try to rub out any scenes "glorifying" smoking. The article I read said it best when it said that scenes of frying pan violence and egg slicer maulings were excluded from the censorship. Anyway, I didn't realize that impressionable kids actually watched Boomerang. Isn't the key point in the word Boomerang, "Boomer"? As in, baby boomer? Also, this new censorship will get rid of so much humor potential. It means, never again will we see such wonderful scenes as this...
  

         

  Oh well. At least if I want to be impressionably stimulated to smoke, I'll play Metal Gear Solid or something. So there! You big poopy heads. If I want to see characters smoking, I don't need your stupid-headed TV shows!
  'Til next time, peace!
