People will get offended by anything today. After all, isn't Veggie Tales technically a Christian show?

It's probably been two decades since I've even seen an episode, but it was relatively benign from what I remember. It did have religious overtones, but it didn't have the same level of systematic brainwashing that other shows had. Plus, it's a good way to teach kids how to learn Spanish in the same way showing daytime soap operas on Telemundo is. Simple plots, you can mostly tell what's going on, not a whole lot of risqué scenes with sex and violence.

But someone will always get offended.

It might have been 10 years ago, and when NBC carried the show they were worried about causing offense to atheists (I'm atheist, btw), other non-Christian religions, and other agnostic/irreligious types, so they censored out references to God. In a rare move by the Parents' Television Council who complained, they were in the right, although I normally despise that organization, as they mostly advocate censorship on TV.

It's crazy how much we censor ourselves in this country for fear of offending someone else. I don't want to get into a political or religious debate here, but whether it's a children's show or a violent borderline pornographic horror comedy, someone is going to complain.

In my high school, we had to occasionally watch films with touchy subject matter. Nothing like The ABCs of Death, but students were always given the option of leaving the room for a minute if there was a scene too disturbing. I've probably seen Mississippi Burning dozens of times, but some people have a weak stomach and can't put up with the more grisly lynching scenes for too long. And that's OK. No one is forcing anyone to watch anything. Simply turn off the TV or leave the room. Jailing people over this is just stupid.

Sorry for the rant, but the TL;DR of all this is that if it exists, someone will be offended, no matter how benign or grotesque.
