I was just reading a thread (now some months old) on a site called 'The Fedora Lounge') where a woman expressed surprise that another woman wouldn't let her children watch Betty Boop cartoons.
The woman came back with a post about decency and kids at an impressionable age, stating
"I have (in the scheme of things) a short window of time with them to try to instill the best moral character and show them the best role models so they can be the best they can be"
and then added,
"There is no Disney in this house, either"
Which led me to speculate, having just excluded the entire Disney catalog - what in God's name is morally corrupt about 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Bambi', 'Lady and the Tramp', and... I could go on.
And then, here's the woman's avatar. I'm speculating, because it's clearly a home photograph, that it's her.

Hell, she looks like she's in Sam Spade's waiting room.
