Bugs Bunny

In 1988, a complaint was raised on a children’s show called The Bugs Bunny and Tweety (Bewitched Bunny), aired on CIII-TV at 5pm on the grounds that it violated the sex-role portrayal code (Lisosky, 2001). It was a children’s show that highly resembled Hansel and Gretel where Bugs Bunny intervened and allowed the children to escape but, in so doing, he upset the witch who resolved to have him for dinner instead. A chase ensued and the heroic hare narrowly escaped death by using a bag of “Magic Powder” as a type of grenade.

Bugs Bunny, smitten by this newly incarnated female, took her by the arm as they walked into the “happily ever after” (ACTRA, 2009). The issue however was on the last remarks of Bug as they walked away for he said, “Ah sure, I know! But aren’t they all witches inside?” The complainant felt as though the cartoon was…

She said she did not know where she learned the word only to later find out that her father used this word often when speaking to his father.…

“Memory – like liberty – is a fragile thing.” - Elizabeth Loftus. We tend to think about memories like photographs. They’re snippets of the past, and we go over the most monumental (or embarrassing) moments in our lives time and time again, sometimes just to remind ourselves of who we are. It's such a fundamental part of our daily routines that we forget how reliant we are on memories. Every thing from the taste of strawberries to the name of that film you saw yesterday are all parts of what…
