CBS Election Interference

I was in line at a bar in Delray with this guy. I was with a bunch of my old foreign teammates. They had no idea who he was. I put my hand out and introduced myself and told him that I very much appreciated and admired his work. We chatted a bit. Very nice guy. I said that the producer didn’t really do you guys any favors with the chicks. I can find ten hotter ones here. He bust out laughing and goes “yeah we know” 🤣

Is it really there in its entirety? I doubt that, but I don't subscribe to Max.

There has been a lot of censorship of the Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes catalog over the years. The most famous is what's known as the "Censored Eleven" cartoons. But even with titles that have remained available, there have been many cuts made.

Most of the censorship has had to do with racial stereotypes and stuff. One of the most famous of the "Censored Eleven" is a cartoon called "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs". Kid you not. And it's about what you'd expect it to be. Really, even if you overlook the racism, it's not all that good of a cartoon. Bob Clampett was my least favorite WB director.

One great cartoon that's often been censored for cultural sensitivity is Friz Freleng's "Which is Witch" -- the one with Bugs and a Witch Doctor in "Darkest Africa".

But some other censorship involved cartoon violence. For example, if you're familiar with "Ballot Box Bunny" (where Yosemite Sam is running for mayor promising to rid the town of "every last rabbit"...and Bugs decides to run against him), the cartoon ends with Sam playing Russian Roulette. This ending is often cut out of TV broadcasts of the short.

FWIW, I have all of the WB cartoons on my Plex server -- unedited. But if you're right that they actually have *all* of them on Max, then good for them. I'd like to think most adults are mature enough to see them, all of them, in their unedited form.
Got the 6 disc, RESTORED ORIGINAL Tom & Jerry's for my daughter to watch as a kid in the car DVD player. Even had Whoopi Goldberg in the opening trailer explain why re-including the actress that did the Mammy Two Shoes voice was providing respect to her enduring career and greatness (kinda the opposite of what they did to Aunt Jemima, which shows how "woke/the left" morphed in just a small period of time).

Kiddo loved them, BTW. Best cartoons ever.

Yeah, when my kids and I watch them we bust out laughing at how cruel they are to Charlie.

I don’t know if it’s literally ALL of them, I just know they have a bunch.

Do me a favor and search to see if those two titles I mentioned are on there.

"Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs" is probably the single most controversial of the Censored Eleven.

"Which is Witch?" isn't considered one of those. But it is a title that WB has been hesitant to release on home video or allow for broadcast.
