Anyway, I don't get worked up about these things because I'm fairly certain they're only doing it for money. C'mon, they publish a book which barely any content and a sweet TMNT cover for no other reason than to make a buck. If they really hated the TMNT they'd be out picketing at the tour bus stops or something.

Besides these days there's so much awful **** for kids to see on the TV that I can't see how anyone can pick on the cartoons seriously. Heck even the kids shows like Hannah Montana have more control and psychological issues on kid's brains that any 80's cartoon can dream of having.

amen, could not have said it better

Oh, he wasn't so crazy. There were some very weird comics out on the mass market in the 1950's, so his concern was real. Don't believe me? I have some MAD magazines (and comics) from the 1950's, and they were a lot more weirder and vulgar than the later ones.

Yeah. I noticed that, too. I used the subs awhile back because I could never quite figure out what he was saying.

I always thought it sounded like "legit" too, but anyone who ever read one of the comic adaptations would know better.

i'm sure it was weird and odd! mad magazine had that. they were a comic so to save themselves they made into a magazine. thus the rest is history.

Ah ok so it is bitchin'. That's what I used to think he said but then someone here said he was saying legit and that made more sense. But now it's back to bitchin'.

Ok now while we're at it lets try and figure out if it's crude or rude in the old theme song. I'm going with rude, and don't disagree with me because I've already been wrong once today. (Joking about this, lets not take Jester's thread off topic)
