I saw this coming about 10 years ago. There is the classic cartoon where Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny are both in a saloon. Yosemite Sam shows off his shooting prowess by throwing a tin can up in the air and shooting holes in it then the canned falls to the floor. Then Bugs Bunny picks it up throws the can up in the air does not shoot until the can is falling and just as it passes Yosemite Sam‘s face Bugs fires blasting a shot into Sam’s mug. Of course cartoons don’t die so it showed Sam standing there with that surprised, scorched faced, hilarious look on his face. This episode came out about 40 years ago.
Ten years ago I happened to catch the same episode and I was shocked. They changed that scene where now Bugs actually shoots the can in the air and come to find out, instead of bullets, Bugs’ gun is loaded with cork plugs! Now Bugs shoots the can up in the air and he shoots cork plugs in the can that Sam just bullet riddle.
THAT’S when I saw the sign of the times.
