Feel the Magic, Hear the Roar - Fuck Yeah!

So I got Season One, Part One of Thundercats in the post on Monday and, as one who knows me might gather, currently indulge in something of a nostalgia trip

I, for one, was delighted to see uncensored nudity in a non-pornographic sense in a cartoon. I hate the skin Nazis of our society. Everybody has to be naked in a non-sexual sense at some point . . .otherwise we'd all be pretty smelly, dirty people.

"I, for one, was delighted to see uncensored nudity in a non-pornographic sense in a cartoon. I hate the skin Nazis of our society."

Heh, I suppose that episode proves a milestone in more that one context; in any other program featuring nudity, its use always gets tied in with sexuality, so Thundercats also broke the mould in that respect!

Isn't it funny though that nudity becomes ever the more sexualized by its censorship - all the watchdogs who would see fit to ban it most likely increase the demand for it and the sexual frisson effect on the viewer registers as all the more powerful when he/she finally gets to see a slice of skin.

Thanks for the link, I can't believe that I don't remember the nudity...It's so funny. The art is really good though. Again I didn't remember that.
