what language should I be looking up?

You guys don't remember Pee Wee's playhouse?

Indeed, it certainly reflected the values of the 1980s.

*Ninjinister* · 01-07-2013, 09:58 PM

Yeah, I found Pee-Wee Herman pretty offensive, too.

He ruined a perfectly pleasant evening at the movie theater for me, once.

But yeah, somehow that didn't come to mind when reading the text. Guess I was more used to hearing the catchphrase than reading it.

So I guess the translation I read online was accurate...?

Well, whatever the case, it makes for a funny bit of trivia to add to the Turtle Tips section of my Tales #3 review.

Y'all can look that up if you want to.

I don't have to, who can forget Pee Wee's Playhouse or Jambi the Genie?

...Are people offended by Jambi the Genie? If so...

I missed the text on the inside as well, but did notice the blurb on the outseide stated the book was "intended for mature audiences."

Anyone else catch this disclaimer in the beginning of the Tales of the TMNT vol. 2 trade?

"These reprints of 1980's era comics were intended for mature audiences, and do not reflect today's values or those of Nickelodeon or IDW Publishing. Except for the addition of color, the comics are presented here as originally published."

Maybe I'll see something when I re-read these stories, but you'd think there was something horribly offensive in the comics with a warning like that. It says on the cover, "ages 13 and up recommended." I'd think that was all the warning they'd need.

*CyberCubed* · 05-26-2013, 05:31 PM

It's because kids watching the Nick show may pick up the comics thinking they're the same.

*Powder* · 05-26-2013, 05:55 PM

There's been some stuff that kinda knocks religion a little or has slight sexual innuendo. They're just putting that there to cover their asses from ignorant anal parents.

*gobo* · 05-26-2013, 06:50 PM

Isn't the mere existence of TMNT a knock to religion though? And, it's not like they had a Dimension X sea creature mating with a submarine. That would just be wrong.

*CyberCubed* · 05-26-2013, 07:27 PM

Splinter meditating and reincarnation can be touchy subjects for Christian parents, look at the way they wrote in to the old Archie issues in the 90's.

What's your point? The current IDW books have reincarnation in them too.

Because Christian parents with kids who watch the Nick cartoon are starting to see these comics on store shelves. They complained in the 90's so they're going to continue to complain now.

We had a thread on this subject for the previous release.

I think it was the particular incantations invoked in the "All Hallows Thieves" story that really prompted the disclaimer and I guess they decided to run it again for good measure.
