It's a cartoon featured in Cartoon Network about the Grim Reaper and his two friends, Billy and Mandy. The kids tricked Grim into being best friends with them. Anyway, the whole show is about them getting into mischief and Grim suffering a lot of grief.

I saw a petition in the internet that wants to ban this children's cartoon, because it features paganism and the occult and encourages children to learn about the underworld.

arrow The funniness of the show
arrow Does the petition have reasonable grounds
arrow Alle's childish taste in tv programs xd

Courage the cowardly dog is great. xd
Does the petition have reasonable grounds?
no, I'm sorry, I see nothing wrong with our kids wanting to learn about the underworld, paganism, occult, or just poke fun at it.

I don't really think the show is suggestive per se...I don't even think it has subliminal messages for children. Maybe the people who made the petition were just worried that kids might want to imitate billy and mandy and try to befriend dark beings. xd

I love that show is so darnned funny ^_^. and I don't know how much grounds that petition may have... but it is interesting way to learn about diferent beings in diferent mythologies. But I mostly just watch it to laugh and have some fun.

PS: I also have a childish choice of TV programs. 3nodding

I watch that all the time! It's so funny! rofl

My fave is Grim, but I sort of feel sorry for him. He is so powerful, yet he gets picked on by little kids.

Mira loves that show so much! whee heart I don't think the petition has reasonable grounds because really, the show's making fun of the underworld.

Sponge bob sometimes looks and acts in ways people may think he is gay, but in reality he is just very childlike that is what I think at least.

You are right, it does seam that way but, he really is just childish. But when I read why they were trying to ban him was the stupid thing
here they are: (all this means a person is gay according to the parents that wanted him off the air)
1. He lives in a pinapple
2. He lives alone
3. He owns a cat
4. his best friend is a guy
5. He likes to sing and dance and wons stuffed animals...
all those reasons seam rath silly to me.....


Has any one seen the episod were Grim and Mandy are trying to cure Billys fear of clowns?

About the spongebob thing, there was also an episode wherein Spongebob and Patrick sort of lived like husband and wife when they were taking care of this baby shell or something. I think some people are just overreacting because they have overactive imaginations. domokun
