Thanks for the South Park news, Kris. I can't believe someone would get killed/threat made over something like that. :no:

I watched so many Tom and Jerry's when I was a kid. I never smoked. BTW, I always thought Shaggy and Scooby overate for other reasons if you know what I mean. I mean isn't that what everyone thinks? I'm surprised it hasn't been pulled or edited for those reasons.

I'm tempted to use one of them in to an avie. :lol:
Alan, here's hoping that if they didn't get the music scores (some copyright issues going on), that the episodes come out uncut because they had cut out some scenes in episodes when they aired it on Noggin.

Another death (or two) follows. Sorry for the delay.

To the curious, Arnold Stang was known for playing Top Cat (T.C) during the 70s.
And since we were talking about Sesame Street, for those who have seen it during the 70s-80s, or if you have ever seen Sesame Street: Follow That Bird

True, but I read up on it and thought it was pretty tasteless that the organization that warned/threatened Trey Parker and Matt Stone had put up the photo of Theo Van Gogh's assassination on their site just to justify that that's what would happen to them.
You can read about Van Gogh [[b]here[/b]]
I'm trying to remember if Super Best Friends (the first episode Muhammad was on) actually stirred controversy. I know Cartoon Wars II had its own problems because of that Muhammad drawing in the Dutch newspaper issue.

The Cartoon Porn Shop Janitor — Carol Burnett vs. Family Guy
By Destiny
June 11th, 2007
A porn shop in a cartoon just triggered a lawsuit.
In the Family Guy episode “Peterotica,” Peter and his friends go to the local adult bookstore. What happens next was apparently determined by the following sequence of events.
1. Family Guy asks Carol Burnett if they can use the theme to her 1970s variety show.
2. Carol Burnett says no.
3. They draw her into the cartoon as the adult bookstore’s cleaning woman.
And then comes #4 — Carol Burnett sues them.
The Fox Network has expressed surprise, since she appears in the cartoon for only four seconds, but Burnett’s lawsuit reportedly claimed violations of copyright and trademark law, plus a misappropriation of her name and likeness. This weekend a judge revealed what happens in step 5: Carol Burnett loses that lawsuit. According to news reports, a judge signed a ruling Friday that while the the Family Guy episode may offend her — the First Amendment allows parodies. (After all, her original variety show was famous for its own parodies.)
Carol Burnett is a pioneer in celebrity lawsuits. In 1981 she surprised legal observers with a successful lawsuit against the National Enquirer over a report that implied she’d been drunk in a restaurant with Henry Kissinger. (“In a Washington restaurant, a boisterous Carol Burnett had a loud argument… But Carol really raised eyebrows when she accidentally knocked a glass of wine over one diner and started giggling instead of apologizing…”) She may have been vindicated over that slight to her public image, but as a public figure she’s also fair game for ridicule. And thanks to Family Guy, an animated likeness of the 74-year-old comedienne can be glimpsed in some very unsavory company.
Like most Family Guy episodes, this one was a series of loosely-connected jokes, but this time they were tied together by the theme of adult books. Peter’s disappointment at the adult bookstore’s offerings drives him to write his own porn novels. (Including Angela’s Asses, Shaved New World, and Harry Potter and the Half Black Chick.)
Ironically, in this episode of the cartoon, it’s the Family Guy himself who is eventually sued — though for different reasons. Peter’s own erotic novels are so steamy that they prompt one driver to remove his shirt while driving. (He’d been listening to the book on tape version of Peter’s adult book, The Hot Chick Who Was Italian. Or Maybe Some Kind of Spanish.) This scene may include another dig at Carol Burnett, since the tape version of that book is being read by a regular guest on the Carol Burnett Show — Betty White.
His career ends after the disgruntled motorist’s lawsuit — and he also gets a surprise visit from… Betty White.
Perhaps foreshadowing the legal showdowns to come, she tells him, “I just got a subpoena for an erotic novel, and I’m looking for the son of a bitch responsible.”

'SpongeBob fanatics' hunted over vandalism
10-foot tall image of cartoon character painted on historic building in Colo.
The Associated Press
updated 10:00 p.m. HT, Fri., May. 9, 2008
MONUMENT, Colo. - The U.S. Forest Service is looking for "SpongeBob fanatics" who painted the cartoon character on the chimney of a historic building.
The 10-foot tall painting of Nickelodeon character SpongeBob SquarePants is on a cabin in the Pike National Forest that used to be the Forest Service's tree nursery until it was abandoned in the 1930s. Forest Service law enforcement officer Tom Healy says the incident is part of an increase in vandalism in the area.
Officials say whoever painted the cartoon on the chimney brought four colors of paint and that it was a time-consuming venture.
Healy says it will cost several thousand dollars to wipe the animated yellow sea sponge's image from the site.
Wow...that's all I can say :goof:
