Some Good Old Fashioned Violence

Ah! Those were the days. They wouldn't get away with this sort of thing now - which explains why you don't see these being screened any more. They are considered too violent (groan!).

What a joke! I grew up adoring Tom & Jerry cartoons and I never felt the inclination to act out any of the violence contained within. In this modern age, where these harmless animations are considered too violent for kids to watch, the alternative forms of entertainment are computer games where you can shoot realistic looking people or run them over in your car. Nice trade-off!

Anyway, I think that Tom & Jerry should make a come-back. This is one of their greatest episodes and includes one of those special expressions of pain that only Tom could pull off (4:25). To enjoy in full screen, access the cartoon on YouTube by clicking here. Enjoy!
