To me cartoons have been doing this from day one. Getting anvils dropped
on heads, wolves eating birds hunters with guns, it's all the same thing. "We
didn't start the fire it was always burning since the world's been
turning."(to quote a musician) Pokemon wasn't the first and it won't be the
last. All it is is the same thing in different packaging. Another thing is
that the Simpson for example is the number one animated show in Prime time,
and what goes on there is contrary to what we are about. Something to think
about.
