see some quite strong and sharp criticisms and American / Western 
culture in both programmes - but yes, they are cartoons, rather than 
current affairs programmes!

Oh, so the cartoons are a critique of American lifestyles? Oh I see, 
and there was me taking it at face value.
But do people in general see them as being critique , or do people 
watch it and think." Yeah, all wars are bad apart 
from.................." and "Rap videos are good 
because...............".

"Are you saying that cartoons *can't* be intelligent? Have you read 
Maus and/or Persepolis?*

I suppose it depends on how it is perceived , do people perceive it as 
being objectional or something to adhere too? No & no.
To me an intelligent programme would be about finding a solution to 
the impending Iranian problem, not a character who only has a few 
slogans taking the place of speech.
