   This is what they push on children today. Do you really think this is normal?

     Who did it better? Bugs Bunny or Crowder when he was doing this at Planet Fitness

     @lain Well back then the looney toons weren't made for kids. :cirnoShrug:
     
     
     [Age segregation also is a fairly new development in animation as well, according to animation lecturer Robert McKimson Jr., whose father directed 35 Bugs Bunny cartoons and created Foghorn Leghorn, Tasmanian Devil and Speedy Gonzales, among other characters, for Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes.
     
     "The Warner cartoons were aimed strictly for adults--they were never meant for children," McKimson said.
     
     Warner cartoons and other animated short subjects (Disney characters, Popeye, Tom and Jerry and so on) were screened for audiences of all ages at movie houses before the feature presentation. But when television began packing Saturday mornings and after-school hours with those classics during the `60s, many were trimmed of excessive violence, sexual innuendo and drug and alcohol references.
     
     Or, as McKimson puts it: "They chopped the hell out of them."] Chicago Tribune, 2002
