My second grader attends a local Christian school. For "movie time", they planned to screen Tarzan, the animated movie. Although I have not seen it, I had a glimpse of it from a free version of a computer video game. The character almost exclusively moves in sensual ways and is very scantily dressed. My objections were countered with "but it's TARZAN; of course he wears only a loin cloth...". But, if a man (un)dressed like a male erotic dancer were to come to my door and ask permission to entertain my 7 y/o daughter by jumping, crouching, and running in front of her for an hour and a half, does anyone think I would say yes? I appreciate your movie review. It is quite deep and I'm certain quite valid. I guess in this case, I'm not that profound. All I cans see from my perspective is that it desensitizes children to lewdness, nudeness and lasciviousness.

And, I think he kisses Jane once she gets rid of that old dress and wears her loin cloth, and then they have a kid, so you know what they must have been doing . . .
I think these are the same nutjobs that had the problem with Veggie Tales and Winnie the Pooh.
How do they walk out their front door and deal with the world?
You know what's really disgusting?
Did you know that every day, under their clothing, BILLIONS of people are walking around buck naked?
Revolting!!
The only bit that's vaguely questionable is Tarzan looking under Jane's dress, and it's made very clear that's not good (she hits him with her umbrella).
I think your seven layers of undergarments are too tight, Chris.
In your own storybook, God created man and woman both naked, and was pretty ok with that.
So stfu, it's "in God's image," cxu ne?
...Okay, I gotta admit it: Tarzan is fuckin' FINE.
...But still, you're overreacting.
You have to be taught your body is filty and dirty. You're born naked and don't care you are until either somebody says its gross, or you get cold.
And yeah, Tarzan is a fuckin hottie. :)
"All I cans see from my perspective is that it desensitizes children to lewdness, nudeness and lasciviousness."
That makes me think that your perspective is one of obsession with the lewdness and nudeness (and lasciviousness) of Tarzan, you closeted fundie, you.
Does your daughter know that you fucked her father?
I mean, really fucked him good; and he spunked his jizz into your gut?
@ Pete
5. I hope your kids never need to be rescued by a lifeguard. They would panic at his/her nudity and probably drown.
No need to worry, the kids are never going to the beach...or the lake...or swimming pools. All that male topless, semi-nudity! Well, I just don't know...
I think this speaks more to you looking for ludeness, nudeness & lasciviousness, Kids just see a cool animated movie. (At least they do when they don't have uptight fundie parents who find fault in anything that isn't church or bible study.)
But, if a man (un)dressed like a male erotic dancer ...
But in the jungle, there wasn't any such thing as a "male erotic dancer". There isn't to little kids, either. Applying modern first-world dress standards to a jungle savage is stupid.
Actually , As a parody, I liked it.
IT'S A CARTOON!
I don't think Borroughs was pandering to hung-up prudes with the origional take. So: Go live alone and let the world pass you by
Normal people see a man leaping through the treetops, running through the jungle, swinging on vines, in a natural environment with the decency of at least covering his junk. You see a male giggolo thrusting his pelvis across the screen. And you think that there is something wrong with the rest of the world...
Pssst,,, pssst, did you know that Adam and Eve walked around NAKED in the Garden of Eden in the Bible? Did you know that Lot had incestous sex with his daughters in the Bible? How about Solomon having sex with hundreds of women in the Bible? You might want to rethink letting your children read that awful piece of pornography! The Bible is full of lewdness, nudeness, and laviciousness.
"The character almost exclusively moves in sensual ways and is very scantily dressed."
And you didn't get a hard-on at all while you were watching him so closely, no no no no.
Just come out of the closet, already.
how fucking DARE you cover the parts your gods gave you, UNGRATEFUL BITCH!?
if nudity was good enough for Adam and Eve, its good enough for YOU you unchristian whore!
What the FUCK?
Also, I want nutjobs like this to review Aladdin, damnit! It would amuse me. Immensely. I mean, you've got bad guys doing magic, good guys doing magic, scantily clad girls, ambiguous sexuality and on top of it all you've got Those Darn Islamics. And yet they never do review Aladdin. I'm disappointed.
This guy must think that his daughter will never turn 18. GOD forbid she might want to have SEX with a lewd, nude, lascivious MAN. Shit, he probably got an erection watching Tarzan's muscles & sensual movements and just wants to hoard the movie for himself.
If you think that Tarzan is bad, imagine if they movie depicting every part of the bible. Whoa boy, now that would be a violent, incestrious, sex romp. Oh yeah,
YOU ARE A FUCKWIT!
The censors certainly have the dirtiest minds, always seeing objectionable content where rational human beings see none... and once they voice their concerns, you can never look at the artwork in question the same way again.
Chris refers to "My husband" in other posting. So I'm going with Occam's razor, Chris is a girl whose parents wanted a son.
Her reasoning about banning a cartoon about loincloth-clad Tarzan because she 'wouldn't allow a man to do what it does' is priceless.
She also won't permit the kids to have a puppy: "I certainly wouldn't let a man prance around naked in public or crap in the back yard." Nor a goldfish: "I wouldn't let a man swim nude where my kids could see him." Undoubtedly she also opposes skscrapers because her kids won't be permitted to know that such huge erections are even possible.
However, when she gets to the "lewdness, nudeness and lasciviousness", I gotta go with Occams razor again. Its not the kids who see that there, it's you. Projecting much.
Disney cartoons don't even have NIPPLES!
if they were any more sexless, Sleeping Beauty and the Prince would have shaken hands (rather than fucked like bunnies as it was in the original story)
@ Porky Pine:
<nitpick tone="pedantic asshole">
Unless I'm mistaken, you're thinking Picha, the Belgian cartoonist guilty of 'Tarzoon, Shame of the Jungle'. Ralph Bakshi did, however, make the superb anti-conformist cartoon 'Fritz the Cat'.
</nitpick>
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
