'America is not happy': ABC under fire for pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live! (www.abc.net.au)

In short:

The American Broadcasting Company has axed Jimmy Kimmel Live! for comments the host made referencing the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has received hundreds of complaints intended for America's ABC about the show being cancelled.

The vast majority of complaints sent to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation contained expressions of dismay, with many citing concerns about free speech and the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

Worse than not on, they remake shows with cgi and different voice actors.

Watching tv with kids is great. The first time I heard my oldest laugh was watching Shaun the Sheep with him. The last one we had moved into the time when everyone had their own idiot screens and it wasn't the same which I regret. I didn't know Bluey existed until she kept nagging me to play games. Bandit is a tough act to follow.

I can imagine Bluey and Bingo going out one Saturday with Chilli and Bandit and they arrive at their school slightly confused because it is the weekend. And there are lots of people there going into a hall. They find some friends and play with them. Bluey wants to see what the adults are doing so goes in with Bandit and watches him give his name to be checked on the electoral roll then he puts some numbers in boxes. She grabs a free pencil which she thinks is awesome. They get some sausages and all agree it was a great day out.

Then the American kids watch and ask their parents why they never go and vote like Bandit and Chilli. And their parents say they couldn't be bothered and it doesn't make a difference.

Not omly remade in bad CGI or Cartoon but horrible writing and storylines, like the thomas the tank engine cartoon they jist straight up bunnyhop between tracks and do backflips and shit like they are train shaped people.
