man.. i <i>wish</i>.
what the hell?
anime was like, the first thing soccer moms ever went after.
if your stupid hormone-charged kid doesn't have a snowflake's chance in a blast furnace to get laid, let him watch the damn thing. it's traumatizing not having any sort of stimulation for your sex drive when you're young like that.

the Nudity thing, one episode, number 3 to be precise, there is a 2 second shot of a girl's butt, sitting down no less.
the blowing peoples brains out thing? 4th episode, Hakaru has a massive shootout with the suits, Eariler in the episode, they're playing Airsoft. This ignorate fool thinks that she's being a whistle blower on smut, well, she's not. More than likeley she's some Mormon who thinks anything that shows more than an inch of skin at the ankle is indecent and that any position other than Missionary is wrong! The PG in TV-PG means "PARENTAL GUIDENCE", so guide your damned kid! Tell him a walking Seige Turret isnt going to come out of the bump on his head he received from the 2nd grader who beat him with his own Spongebob lunchbox on his way to High school, Yes, Women has butts, Killing people's wrong... Some people shouldnt be allowed to breed...

This is the problem, it only takes a small group of morons who are trying to uphold the 'moral fibre of their children' to spoil it for the rest of it. It's on during <b>ADULT</b> Swim.
Put it this way. I can walk into a video store and higher whatever video I want and show it to a child. <b>COMMON F***ING SENSE </b>dictates I wouldn't show a porn video to a 10 year old. If your so concerned about what your kids are watching, maybe supervise them and don't ruin it for the rest of us >_<
Bet these are the same kind of idiots who sue McDonalds for spilling Hot Coffee on themselves claiming it was too hot. HOT COFFEE. WTH WERE YOU EXPECTING.
On top of that the legal system is a f***ing joke for allowing these idiots actually win. "Weee I broke into your house and broke my leg. 10 million dollars plz"
God I hate society. S*** happens, get over it.
And people wonder why I'm so socially introverted...
*shakes fist at Soccer mums, the Justice System and society*
Why yes, it is on during "Adult Swim" but it is still rates TV-PG.
The television rating systems are there to help viewers, why yes it is easy to say PG= Parental Guidance so the parents should watch what their kids are watching. In the real world it is hard for a parent to watch exactly what their child is watching all the time - hence such rating systems. If that is people's response then surely everything should be rated TV-PG and then you would end up with no guidance.
I don't know many parents who sit down and watch every single thing their child watches on television, they have more important things to do like work and house work and other such nonsense like that.

I mean thats a fair point to take. I know some if you will not think that it is vuglar or dangerous in the least but these people obviously do, it is obvioulsy aimed at adults and so should have an adult television rating.
She is not trying to get the show shut down, she is not trying to get Cartoon Network shut down, she just wants the television ratings put to proper use.

Note that she doesn't say "We have been spreading the word to educators and churches to raise public awareness about this disgrace to humanity. Anime is surely the tool of the devil and it must be stopped!!!!!!"
Just because she has taken a different view to you, on something that you obviously like, does not mean that she is a stupid soccer mum.
Which is only fair. A PG-rating for a piece that isn't really PG is an error. Maybe contacting Cartoon Network about it first would have been a better course of action though.
Edit: My bad, didn't read thoroughly enough obviously. She's still right though.

Seems like she did the best she could. All she is trying to do is let other people know that the rating is wrong so that other parents can check out the show and see if it is suitable or not.
I had a bedtime of 7:00 until I was 7.....
WTH?
That said, I honestly think a "not appropriate for 16 and under" would have been better. Too bad mom lets her 10 year old son watch TV at midnight with a TV-PG13-and-up-is-blocked. The only thing he CAN watch is CTN. And the weather channel. Wait, that's inappropriate, too. People die in bad storms, y'know. Can't let kids learn that. /sarcasm.
She is concerned, and rightly so. A TV-PG rating means that, for parents who choose to prevent their children from watching smut as opposed to teaching them the difference, or actively taking part of raising their child, means that CTN could play that during the afternoon and it would get past her filters. That's a bad thing, I see where she's coming from. I think PG13 and PG are stupid. It's either PG, or it's not, and I think all things are PG (even cartoons), but that's a different story (along the lines of "don't use the TV as a babysitter")
This is exactely the kind of attitude that gets me raging whenever I hear parents pack it out: They do not feel it necessary to have a look at their childrens consumed media, and instead move that <i>responsibility</i> to some nebulous instance that dishes out ratings after more or less subjective criteria. It's <i>their</i> children. According to any definition of parentship, <i>they</i> are the only ones who're allowed to make judgements about the kinds of media consumed by their children. If they gave that away, they failed an essential part of parentship.
And sorry, but TVs just don't belong into a childs room.

The name is '<b>Cartoon</b> Network'. Not, I repeat, <i>not</i> 'Kids Network'. Cartoons aren't a pure childrens affair, they never were. If they went around assuming that, sorry, but they were wrong.
When we talked to our son and told him he could never watch that show again, he told me to "suck it", pulled out a gun and blew my husbands brains out. All because he watched this show!<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
LOL
And as for "go Australia"..... didn't they ban GTA, and now their childcare centres have banned superheroes?
On topic, I do love the idea of people letting their kids watch Cartoon Network at midnight...... or CNX, for that matter, lol.
You have to love these loonies though - I mean how else would I have found out about this obviously interesting show?

And rating systems are very bogus anyway... as with games, TV can get away with showing pretty much anything but pubes, nipples (female only), and intercorse, and it won't achive an AO/NC-17 rating.
And cartoons themselves are far too violent, and ALOT of the old ones have hidden pop.culture items that older folks back then would only have been able to get...
Hell, even all the old grimm's fairy tales were **** up in the head, until they were Disney-ized for our modern, whimpy culture...
