Scooby Doo too violent for kids?

Cartoons should be given movie-style age ratings to protect children from the violence shown in programmes such as Scooby Doo and Batman, a child safety expert has warned.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Among the programmes she deemed to contain the most risky behaviour were Scooby-Doo, Batman, X-Men and Ben 10.
Risky behaviour? Oh yes.
"I know. Let's split up!"
What kids learn is the importance of going with Daphne and Fred... because the ghost/werewolf/axeman/monster always follows Shaggy and Scooby.

The violence?!?!?! I would think that a scruffy guy who always has the munchies and takes advice from a talking dog would raise other concerns.

Gosh, Scooby Doo taught me how to tell the difference between real monsters and bad people. Without Scooby Doo, I'd still be curled in the fetal position afraid of the Gigantic DustBunny that lives under my bed!!!!!

How would we have ever learned how to solve mysteries? They don't teach that in school, yanno.
Don't teach folks how to make scooby snacks, either.

Ya, and we should ban the Roadrunner cartoons because it teaches children to build roadside bombs.

They did - try to find Road Runner cartoons. Most of us grew up on the Bugs Bunny - Road Runner Hour at 7am on Saturdays - it's what you lived for (and mom and dad could sleep in...) on the weekends. They were just plain funny. Elmer Fudd hunting for a "wabbit," , Daffy Duck going bonkers, Yosemite Sam (now he is a heath insurance nightmare...) shooting himself so many times. But I wonder, if they updated it, would it be an Acme IED instead of a bomb?

Those were really violent cartoons and we somehow survived. And they taught me that if I ran off a cliff, I wouldn't actually fall until I realized I was no longer on land.

Again, here are people who are trying to state that people are responsible for their own actions.
The adult is responsible for teaching kids the difference between right vs. wrong and fantasy vs. fiction.

Because of Scooby Doo, my kids know that monsters are pretend, and in the end it's always a person in a suit.
Never buy bombs from Acme, they always backfire and blow up in your face!

...because our poor little darlings can't handle real life, where there are talking dogs and suits of armor that follow you around castles!
I'd believe it if they said Pokemon (monsters fighting other monsters 'to the death') or Robot Chicken (mainly made for adults anyhow) were inappropriate for kids. But Scooby? The worst that Scooby does is teach that drugs are cool (because you KNOW Shaggy and Scooby have marijuana in those Scooby Snacks!).

This is what happens when people don't have anything to do. Boredome breeds ignorance. Anyone who comes up with nonsense like Scooby Doo being violent is definately not living in the real world. This is one child safety expert who doesn't have a clue.

Scooby Doo is VIOLENT? Oh ddddear, I guess that means I should stop letting my little howler monkies watch that when they come over. Or any other cartoons. From now on we'll watch soap operas on Telemundo! Much safer!! ::rolls eyes and gags::
