Pepe Le Pew’s antics were laughable back in the day, but in modernity they are effectively textbook sexual harassment edging into pre-rapist behavior. Are these cartoons still run on TV?

Criminy, he’s just a skunk with species confusion.

[/QUOTE]I hope so. Is ‘Funny Face’ banned? And any other film that features a man kissing a woman because she ‘looked like she could use a kiss’
And is sexual harassment worse than the multiple attempted murders in Warner Brothers cartoons?
I loved Pepe! I don’t give a damn what PC people say about his behaviour. And I’m a female who has experienced harrassment.
I live in the real world and can seperate the behaviour of cartoon characters from those of folks IRL.
Certainly all Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons should be pulled from the airwaves. Trying to kill a smaller creature is never funny, especially when it’s an endangered species.
Heck, if you want to see a deeply disturbing Warner toon, check out Chow Hound.
Actually, the roadrunner’s status is Least Concern, which means whogivsa shittius. The cartoons really should be removed because they show explosives, heavy objects, catapults, and other potentially lethal objects being used in a careless and irresponsible manner.
Yeah, it’s like the coyote never even heard of OSHA.
“Sure - but I never studied law!”
How are kids going to know to stay away from ACME products if we take Road Runner cartoons off the air? I see Road Runner cartoons as a public service.
Ah yes, speedius tastius, and eatibus anythingus. two of the most irresponsible species around!
I LOVE that one.
“This time we didn’t forget the gravy”
It was a forerunner to waterboarding - gravyboating.
To be honest, thanks to Looney Toons, I found “Pronoun Trouble” a very useful tactic to use in an argument with a 2 year old.
But if we do that, the terrorists will win!
The animations make it relatively clear that none of the ladies are enthused by his approach.
The moral of the tales isn’t, “This is good!”, it’s, “Don’t do this.” Personally, I feel no need to censor things that are telling people to not do things that they should not do.
I named my cat Pepe, not because he looks like Pepe le Pew (he doesn’t) but because he adored my dog (a Havanese) and was always snuggling up to her. For a while, she made it clear she didn’t appreciate his attentions, but the two eventually became fast friends. I think he misses her now that she’s gone. 
I’ve successfully used this gambit against a 30-year-old.
And an incurable romantic. The PC crowd hates *anything *romantic. Screw 'em!
We’ll since it hasn’t been established that they’ve been banned, you might want to hold
Off screwing the PC crowd, whoever they are.
