Also, try watching a few of today's cartoons, they're much worse.

Yes I realise that today's cartoon are technically speaking much more violent but there is an innocence juxaposed against the subtle violence here that to me is infinitely more disturbing.

There's also a surreal element that is just off and before you flex again, yes I realise that japanese cartoons are very surreal also.

What do you think i'm like 100 years old and haven't wached tv ever?
