This is an impromtu episode about censorship in animation from the night we were supposed to talk to JT about cartoons based on fighting games.  This actually takes place a couple days before the recording of Episode 93 and just days after the Dark Knight Rises incident in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>In the first portion of this podcast, Ben and I run through our thoughts on censorship in cartoons and other mediums.  We get a little ranty.  We touch on reactionary censorship in cartoons, video games, and motion pictures.  Our position is that it&#8217;s not right to erase history.  In the second segment, Tom Revor joins us to give us his thoughts on the matter.<\/p>\n<p><b>Topics:<\/b><br \/>\nGary Owens is ALIVE!<br \/>\nJames Rolfe presents: Scat Hat<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s Nerf or NOTHIN&#8217;!!!&#8221;<br \/>\nSelf-censorship is BULLSHIT!<br \/>\n&#8220;Stop, or I&#8217;ll show my badge!&#8221;<br \/>\nViolence in animation: east vs. west<br \/>\nUsing Lucasfilm computers to erase OJ from The Naked Gun<br \/>\nCatcher In The Rye<br \/>\nCartoon PSAs<br \/>\nPew-pew guns<br \/>\nErasing Chris Benoit<br \/>\nLayla&#8217;s coda<br \/>\nVideo games<br \/>\nKing Kong and Son Of Kong<br \/>\nShrapnel would have killed the parachuting GI Joe pilots<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_1939\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/bite.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1939\" src=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/bite-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"King Kong\" title=\"King Kong\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/bite-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/bite.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of many scenes that were cut from the 1938 re-release of King Kong.
