After lessons today, and my inability to find Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny funny, had a bit of think about it and have come to the conclusion that the problem I have with these two is
1. the violence
2. and this is probably the main reason is that one character is always the victim.
3. With Tom and Jerry the format is replicated for every show, Tom and Jerry was a staple of my childhood growing up in the seventies and I used to wish for Tom the cat to just eat the mouse......and be done with it.
Also a major part of my youth was on the side of the underdog and I think this is a very common female trait. So in this case sensitivities ruling my head.
Im going to put links to the offensive but satirical, 'Monkeydust' shown on BBC 3 and also 'Drawn Together', a spoof of Big Brother by American animation company Rough Draft Studios, Inc.
Like to hear your views on how you think comic taste has changed.Parody is the word.
