Looney Toons

When I was growing up these were my favorite part of Saturday mornings. I decided we should add them to our library. I have a friend (AmyJo) that thinks they are a very violent cartoon and cannot believe that I would let my children watch them. I just shrugged it off and got them anyway. How bad could they be....I grew up with these. My vocabulary grew with them. I could repeat them word for word while watching them.

.........

So then, I get home and watch them. NO WAY will I let any children watch these in my house without the approval of their parents!!! At the end of one of them.....Bugs and Yosemite Sam were running for office (That voting thing that I don't know much about :) ) and they find out someone else won over them while they were too busy gun fighting each other.......so Bugs says at the end "anyone for a game of Russian Roulette?" and they play it just the two of them. Sam doesn't get the bullet....Bugs does.....but Bugs wasn't pointing at his head....it went through his ears and got Sam. The great thing about this is no one got hurt. But I'm afraid that it is showing children that if you play with guns and shoot people no one will get hurt. They are funny to watch as an adult because they are nostalgic. Even though they were ancient when I was a kid watching them in the seventies. But no way are they for children. And the thing is.....they were never made for children in the first place. Warner Bros. doesn't recommend them for children.

Thanks AmyJo.......

Blog to you soon!
