Videogames are interactive.

TV shows are not.

VGs are starting to get a lot more Mature rated games and soon enough some Adult Only games.

So since TV shows are not interactive like VGs are why must they still suffer high editting standards on Adult Swim when all the proper warnings and disclaimers are in-place?

Yeah CN is considered a kids network but this thought could be applied to pretty much any network airing mature or adult shows.

How are they "high editting standards"?

Bebop and Yu Yu have came out extremely well so far. And what with standards loosening recently, who knows how barely cut the other animes are.

Speaking of Yu Yu, do you know what episodes have the editted-back-in middle fingers?

Episode 31, which was cleared before the editing, so the finger will be there and intact.

Wow, MTV blurs out middle fingers, but Cartoon Network allows them. Now what does that say?

Heh. Well, they used to, but since FUNimation complained that they had to paint over it while the Mooninites did it unblurred, CN officially made it legal.

Well, considering the 2 shows that were edited for the ASA block, Bebop and Yu Yu came out quite well, I'd say standards have been raised. No point in complaining until AFTER we see how they edit the new stuff.

Fine, let's call it a joint effort to bring down the man.

That was a new moon record and the mooninite's ego wouldn't be satisfied by sharing it with any earthling, as they are beyond all understanding

Exactly, your "earth" planet is really a moon of our Moon, but calling it a moon would belittle the name of our Moon, which is The Moon.
