24/8/2006 - Holy Smoke! They're on to us!!

The British censors have censored all sequences of Tom and Jerry animated cartoons that depict characters smoking.  This is in case the attitudes of children will be shaped into pre-disposing them to smoking in adulthood.  Does this mean that the authorities are finally catching up with the fact that animation is one of the most powerful indoctrination mediums in the world? 

It is beautifully subtle how the most serious of attitudes can be indoctrinated into the minds of the young through the humour of cartoon animation.

This is why I am against letting my children watch The Simpsons and definitely not Southpark.
