Oh god, it's so true.
I mean, by the age of 8, I have seen blood splattering, head decapitating, incest, thanks to Channel 9 weekend cartoon show and Fist of the North Star and Uthena.
Kids aren't that naive, the sane ones CAN distinguish facts from fictions.
Face down in a shallow grave..a guy can dream right?
An excerpt from it (Do note this interview was like 2-3 yrs ago i think (when Tenchi first came to Cartoon Network)

Q: Tenchi Muyo had several instances of characters receiving digital bikinis even though they weren't nude (i.e. Mihoshi and Kiyone had digitally applied straps under their towels even though Aeka and Washuu didn't). What was the reason for this?
A: Well, as you know the majority of our audience is boys 9-14, but we still have a great deal of children 6-11 watching every day. This being the case, even implied nudity- i.e., two ladies talking to one another with nothing but towels on- has to be toned down. It may seem silly to you, but the parents of younger children really demand this sort of thing.

When half of the time, the kids didn't understand the concept of JUST two women talking to each in only a towel. If parents are going to be like this, just keep your kids in their room without a TV. Good grief. The parents make it worse. "OMFGCOVERYOUREYES!" It only incites curiousity from the kids. yeesh.
Because most people in the US are under the impression that cartoons are for kids.
Not saying it's wrong or right, but that's what Average Joe Smith thinks.
If people were meant to be nude we'd be born without clothes <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Because even with South Park, Family Guy, and Beavis & Butthead america still strongly believes that any and all forms of animation are meant for children.
