The Ridiculous Anti-Ninja Turtles Campaign From The 90s


(YouTube Link)

Apparently there was a group of Canadian moralists who fought against violent, corrupting influences on children in the early 90s, and made their message known in a propaganda film entitled Not Just Fun And Games.

These squares despised toys, and had an awful lot of bad things to say about our beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, probably because their fathers never bought them that G.I. Joe doll they always wanted.

Why pile on more hate for the poor mutants, morality police-haven't they been through enough? I mean, they already live in the sewer, what more do you want?

I find people like this very sad. Didn't Jesus turn water into wine and then 2 loaves of bread into 40 loaves. Sorry, but that sounds like Witchcraft to me. Witchcraft can be either good or bad, it depends on the person performing the magic. I lean more towards Wicca than Christianity. But, there are a lot of people who perform so called white magic who I just don't want anything to do with. I know the difference between good and bad and right and wrong, I don't need any religion telling me what's what. So there. (blows raspberry)

I think this is from a show called "Today in bible Prophecy" which aired of Vision TV in canada back in the 90s. They did a show about the Star Trek: The next Generation episode called "Who Watches the Watchers" (the one with "The Picard"). They claimed it mocked faith and christianity.

This is nut's just plain screwy. I am a christian, and believe it or not I can eat Michael Jackson chocolate bars without guilt, and watch as much TMNT as I want. Not all Christians are like this

@Jolly: Do the details of the fairy tale really matter? Jesus did all kinds of unbelievable things, such as curing blindness, walking on water, turning water into wine, feeding many people off a few fish and bread, and last but not least: Resurrecting after death. If that's not an astonishing feat of magic, then what is it?

If Jesus literally turned water into wine then that would make him a magician, but if he turned people away from wine and onto water that would make him a true spiritual leader. I think the expression is misinterpreted to mean that he literally changed water into wine and not that by the administration of some wisdom his followers' desires shifted to water from wine, as if the value of the two substances had been inverted.

I say this because it is common among esoteric (truly esoteric) teachings that when the individual becomes liberated from the prison of egotism their value system is inverted and that which they detested becomes desirable, and that which they desired detestable.
