Censored Looney Tunes

If you're a huge fan of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons like me, you're probably vaguely aware that the philistines at the networks have censored various parts. You may not know how extensive it is, though, or what was removed. This site will tell you.
From Bugs Bunny to Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyoye, and all your favorites, this makes for a depressing list. There are some uncut private collections out there, and if you've got one in your area I urge you to patronize a showing or two. Not only will you see the cartoons as they're meant to be seen, you'll contribute to their ongoing preservation.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
