It’s a ray gun! PEW! PEW! PEW!
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’s not right to erase history. In the second segment, Tom Revor joins us to give us his thoughts on the matter.
Topics:
Gary Owens is ALIVE!
James Rolfe presents: Scat Hat
“It’s Nerf or NOTHIN’!!!”
Self-censorship is BULLSHIT!
“Stop, or I’ll show my badge!”
Violence in animation: east vs. west
Using Lucasfilm computers to erase OJ from The Naked Gun
Catcher In The Rye
Cartoon PSAs
Pew-pew guns
Erasing Chris Benoit
Layla’s coda
Video games
King Kong and Son Of Kong
Shrapnel would have killed the parachuting GI Joe pilots
One of many scenes that were cut from the 1938 re-release of King Kong. Kong was sanitized in an era in which hyper-sensitive idiots wanted to play nanny. Sadly, people like this still exist.
A scene that GI Joe fans are far too familiar with
From the infamous Pokemon gun episode. Never seen in America.
We are NOT suggesting that 4Kidz should have put this in the American version of Pokemon. This is just here for laughs.
Filmation cartoons put these PSAs at the end of every show to sanitize the violence in the cartoon a bit. Still, would you take moral advice from a klepto?
Pew! Pew!
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

Yes, it’s the Ben Heck bonus show that we promised over a year ago, and it’s totally worth the wait!

No wonder Kittyhawk calls this the drug era.
Hmm… This setting looks familiar!
Well, at least Hanna-Barbera kept its star roster active. Even if it was in the Laff-A-Lympics.
I don’t even remember this episode.
