This is a really cool program: Hours of fun if you're bored.
You can make stick figure animations!!!!!!!!
*NOTE: It is a Windows program, however I tried it on Wine and it works great. A friend of mine says he got it working on Mac OS X too.

The app looks pretty fine

This is what I made in that program:

If you are under 16, DO NOT CLICK HERE

Please don't call it as a "death threat".

Click on "Save Animation" and then select from the combo box "Pivot File" one of the options: Animated GIF, AVI or separate frames.

PokÃ©mon, Digimon, Kids Next Door and all other brainwashing cartoons for children should be rated 18 or banned.

@Combuster: Sir Yes Sir!

18+ is a bit exxagerated, but 12+ wouldn't too bad really. They should consider the effect on the audience rather than the content of the movie when rating those things. Other than that they manage to circumvent the rules pretty well:
- no realistic violence
- no blood
- no profane language
- no adult topics

I have heard that some kid jumped out of the window, hoping that Pikachu will save him.

And...

"The teenagers on 'the point' are doing the most disgusting thing in the whole world, they are transforming themselves to big fat adults!"
"One day, the kids created adults as their slaves, making them peanut butter jelly sandwiches, (...). One day the adults began a uprising (...) Kids, the main target for attack is their coffee, that is the source of their power! (...)"

(Kids Next Door 2001-2006. These aren't the exact quotes, but the cuts that I've remembered from that cr*p.)
Pure idiocy, don't you think?

And what do we see in real? Stupid brainwashed kids with submachine guns and raping 1/2 of the whole school. At least in America, but this "americanism" is now everywhere. The local news say that some kid brought a 6mm firearm to school, he aimed the weapon at the teacher, asking money. After subduing him, he told the police that he found the gun in trash and all that was meant to be a joke. Aiming guns at somebody is a joke?!

So any film showing a burger being eaten should be giving a 15+ rating?

Blame it on Loony Tunes?

I think one time they tried blaming it on Doom. But the kids that did the shooting would have been under 15 when that game was released, so he parents are partly the blame for allowing their kids to play a game out of their range list.

No,

... and again no. Please read my posts once again and if that doesn't make sense, WATCH that shows, at least 5 episodes and you'll see what I mean. And I would be very grateful if you wouldn't catch up with words on me.

By the way I've never seen violence (even fictional with all those rayguns and stuff) in Looney Tunes, even if the hunter for "wabbits" carries a shotgun. He never "injuried somebody" in the show, the "victim" was only pretending to be shot; or he was not shot after all.

In Tom and Jerry it's funny to see Tom or the dog shooting, but once again, he always miss. And if not, I think it's just better than seeing some anime monster blasting with all his guns leaving corpses (okay, without blood, but you know what happens if a 5 year old would see that).

On the other side, if you compare it with reality, it's normal to see cat chasing mouse for food, but it isn't normal to kill/injury people without reason (or with a pretty stupid one).
