FORGET GAY SPONGEBOB, LOONEY TUNES
CARTOON CHARACTERS ARE REALLY F’ED UP!

From

Had American Family Association or some facsimile been around when I was growing up, I would have known better than to simply laugh each time that cross-dressing rabbit Bugs Bunny kissed Elmer Fudd.

Clearly, Yosemite Sam had anger management issues. My generation could have benefited greatly from an expose/documentary highlighting the pattern that led to Sam's violence.

What about Pepe Le Peu? What were the people at Warner Brothers thinking; a skunk that sexually harasses cats? He is French, no less.

And to think that I am a self-identified Francophile!

With the possible exception of the war in Iraq and privatizing Social Security, what values do we gain from the peevish, neurotic, self-absorbed, greedy, megalomaniac Daffy Duck?

Perhaps the worst offender of values and morality was the overbearing rooster Foghorn Leghorn. His primary goal was to find a way to live with the widow hen so that he would not have to sleep outside. So much for working hard and playing by the rules.

Hmmm. This is thought provoking. Let’s see. Porky Pig wears no pants. Petunia Pig is into a guy who wears no pants. Tweety is clearly gay. Elmer Fudd desperately wants to kill a sentient, talking being. Wile E. Coyote also wants to slay a sentient being. The Tasmanian Devil lays waste to the environment. Marvin the Martian wants to destroy the entire planet. What am I forgetting? I wonder about those two hillbillies, snowed into their cabin, who want to eat Bugs Bunny. Just what, exactly, is the nature of their relationship?

Anyway, click
