I'm a bit too old to be watching cartoons i know, maybe the Simpsons i might get away with, but i will admit that to watch select old cartoons is one of my guilty pleasures. Especially some of the good old ones from the 80's. Made before all this computer generated rubbish of today, when they actually tried to teach kids right from wrong. I'm not saying they don't today, but what i do know is that they don't make cartoons like the one anymore in the video below.
It is of course He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, & since watching this video, I can't get the first clip of it out my head. The first scene, when he says "Don't take Drugs Children". I mean can you imagine if the teenagers of the 1980's sniffing their glue or whatever & then seeing He-Man on the TV giving them a lecture. It makes you wonder how many kids he actually got through to, i mean just comes right out with it, no beating round the bush. I think it would be quite good for some of todays coke & crack heads, they'd think twice about robbing out of their Nans purse.
A true hero, not only does he whoop Skeletor & Beast Mans ass in the cartoon, but he actually has a message for the youth. A message that could potentially save these children from themselves. Which i must admit is actually quite funny to me, in fact hilarious, but you got to think that to a little boy who absolutely idolises the ground that this Eternian prince walks on, these messages might actually be getting through.
I mean i just wish i'd seen more episodes of He-Man as a kid. I would of never gone raving, or been arrested and i might have even done a bit better at school as well. In fact if i was a teacher at a school, i'd have the class watching Masters of the Universe. None of this scare mongering rubbish bringing the police man in for a chat. I would totally have these kids watching the montages at the end of each episode of He-Man. That would sort these kids of today right out.
Just a shame they don't make cartoons like this anymore!!!
