Savings English Kids From Themselves
First the British media watchdog Ofcom forced Turner Broadcasting’s Boomerang cable channel to edit out smoking scenes from 56-year-old Tom and Jerry cartoons. Luckily the duo can still beat each other senseless with hammers and axes all they want. Then the Advertising Standards Authority yanked a government radio commercial that advertised a web site that teaches children how to stay safe online because if you misspell the web site address — www.thinkuknow.co.uk — by spelling “you” correctly, you get to a site that has links to adult material. Careful now, only those upper lips are supposed to be stiff.
