That is extrmely sad. And most of these groups are headed by childless Fussbudgets that are just compensating for the fact they are total prudes, and want to raise the nation's kids as if they were her own.
I will agree that the fact that Classic R&S's having to conform to rediculous standards kept John K in check, but then I've only seen one Adult Party, and it was much better than some of the junk that games was tossing off in later years (rewatching some of them hasn't held up too well. In fact, John K had less vomit and poo jokes, if you can actually believe that).
But with South Park, Family Guy and the like, that really makes me upset. I mean, Big Brother, Temptation Island, etc. That's a lot more damaging to kids than seeing a talking poop sing about Christmas, or Charlie Brown being a miserable thug who killed Snoopy by selling him drugs. In fact, cartoons do have higher censorship standards than live action.
Adult Cartoon Party (if you can believe it) is a good example of this. I heard they got in trouble for trying to make an episode that featured topless animated women. Late night.... on a channel that had live action naked women all the time. Talk about blatant hypocracy on their part.
Any given animated show could air at 3 or 4 am, when no one but buzzed 20 year olds is awake, and somehow one kid is going to watch it. And of course, instead of the parents using the V chip in the Tv and cable box, they will eventually see it. And instead of talking about it, or even parenting in any aspect, they write angry letters to make sure the show is unrealtable, and unwatchable, so their pathetic kids don't... well... something that they probably won't do anyway.
But then again, I'm always amazed that they don't let guns into cartoon shows currently, yet you can buy a toy gun at any given store in the country. Add to that the fact a lot of Baby Boomer kids grew up watching Westerns (where there was nothing BUT gunplay) turned out managable.
