Speaking of Bugs Bunny, Lil Vermin continues to eschew the Elmo and clamor for Looney Tunes instead. However, I do notice how violent these are...

...in comparison to today's cartoons (and no, I'm not showing her the racial WW2-era propaganda stuff).

But in addition to all the shotgun blasts and anvil-droppings, there's one she watches daily where Bugs basically taunts a guy until he voluntarily jumps off the Brooklyn Bridge. At which point Bugs uses this story to 'sell' the bridge to some gullible old man.

Still a thousand times better than letting her watch the Kardashians or most current TV, but still eyebrow-raising.
