To the best of my knowledge, the US government has not censored anything. The studios themselves have censored clips due to such things as "Sambo" and "blackface" stereotype images of blacks, as an example, that were still common in the 30's and 40's.

Tom and Jerry look like they are heading to the cutting room here in England.

It's 1984

we allready have people being condemned to an early death by a governmental organisation called N.I.C.E.
meantime we are prompted to be more morally outraged by the "bad example" given by cartoon characters smoking..
it doesn't get any more orwellian than that AFAIK

:hmm:
it scares the hell out of me..

I wouldn't overblow this issue.

Kids will still learn about hitting their opponents over the head with mallets, dropping 2 ton weights on their toes and luring them to grab high voltage wires while falling off mile high cliffs.

Besides, smoking kills.

It reminds me of Demolition Man (bad flick, but it was dead-on as a parody on modern politically correct societies).

I recall a better one. I forget what movie it was ('Escape to LA' comes to mind), but the trailer begins with an announcement flashed on the screen exhorting moviegoers not to smoke, talk, eat red meat, etc. All for our own good, of course.

How about this? Let 'em watch programs on real responsible adult behavior like the news?
