The First Annual Controversial Cartoon Day

To be perfectly honest, many cartoons are very controversial. They may sometimes have drugs, cigars, or other themes in them. So to honor these daring animation masterpieces, I am proud to host the first Controversial Cartoon Day. It will be on Monday, but usually not every week. Now, what cartoon will I review today for this great holiday? Well, I'm going to review an episode of Tiny Toons called, "Elephant Issues." In this episode, the Toons discussed some of the worst problems that plague our society. The three shorts talk about the illiteracy in America, discrimination of certain people, and getting drunk. The only thing that caused this episode to be controversial was the drinking episode, entitled, "One Beer." In it they have Hampton Pig, Plucky Duck, and Buster purposely drink beer to prove they're cool. It causes them to go brain dead, which leads them to stealing a cop car. The trio drive to a high mountain where they spot a broken bridge. Still under the influence, they fall of the cliff and become angels. This segment was so controversial, the episode was banned after one showing. It's odd how a Public Service Announcement episode was banned because of the stuff it was warning people about. Even though it's supposedly controversial, Elephant Issues is actually a good PSA episode. It shows why thing our bad to do, and says that we should avoid them. So, to review it, I'll give it 3 out of 5. The episode is good for warning about drugs, but seems a little to harsh. And to be honest, it is not actually too bad.
