Very poor taste - Episode should be banned

I just happened to catch an episode tonight. I'm not sure the name of it, but I'm extremely disappointed at Disney, ABC and the writers for not thinking it through more - In the episode, Kronk loses his 'good angel' and as a result, goes after Kuzco with a 'disintegrating ray' - chasing him through the school with it.

I'm sorry - but after Virginia Tech and all the other horrible school shooting incidents over the years I find this episode disgusting and disturbing. It was unnecessary and completely inappropriate for the Disney channel or any channel, for that matter.

Bad move, guys. Bad move.

with games were u can shoot/run over hookers who cares if kronk has a bit off a fit at kuzco

wat happened at virginia tech is not a product of cartoon violence but probablt americas dodgy gun laws

calm down and open ur eyes a bit more

Wow, are you one of those poeple who get's offended by everything, and every show / movie is somehow connected to a violent episode in the US history?!

You're seriously overreacting.
It's a cartoon,
Do you also hate Mulan, because it's settled in China and China has been torturing Tibet for centuries?
Do you Boycot Kim Possible, because the bad guy plays around with weapons of mass destruction?! - Just like it was claimed the Middle east had?!

Lighten up.

Yep, it's what some people in this country have turned to, politically correct freaks. Welcome to the age of paranoia, folks!!

It's a show, get over it.

And if you could only slightly compare the moral, social, and violent values that video games now have nowadays, ENS would be Sesame Street.

Lolz...LOLZ...LMAO...ROFLMAO...!

To the OP..are you serious? You live in a whole..correct? So what's next? Your going to complain about the Sci-Fi Channel airing Godzilla movies, because said character blows up buildings, and that reminds you of 9/11? OMG. Can you be anymore close minded?

Oi..only in the United States of America folks! =D

On an episode of "Life with Derek" where they refer to topless women.

Yaay Disney!

There was also an episode where Casey and even the viewers up until a certain point though Derek was selling drugs. If we strived on the same "political correctness" as erin here, that episode wouldn't of built that kind of story arc cause we wouldn't even mention drugs in a show.

People need to get over cartoon violence, and something as subtle as "getting rid of our angel on our right shoulder". Were the writers of the show were metaphorically telling all kids to obey Satan? No. That's what neurotic followers of the Westboro Catholic Church would think. Their all insane, though. The sickest minority I've ever seen since the KKK. (Do some research on them before you think I'm talking about all catholics)

Life with Derek is the worst show on Disney. It's not funny at all.

[–] MyWifeMorganFairchild 15 years ago

Also headsthalos, there was an episode of Life with Derek with the guys being obsessed with a game called Babe Raider with a hot female character (obviously spoofing Tomb Raider and Lara Croft). Actually, I think that's the episode that they refer to topless women. Derek or Edwin mention there's some kind of special code or level where Babe Raider is topless.

As to the politically correct OP, you're obviously overreacting. Its a kid show. How about you just turn off the TV and go outside instead of coming on IMDB to whine about a tv show.

Vampires are so overrated. Thanks Twilight!

Yes I agree, after watching this episode I too ran through a school shooting people with my disintegrater ray...
I also painted a very realistic painting of a road on the side of a cliff after watching Road Runner, ate my weight in lasanga after watching garfield and beat a cat with an unbrella after watching a sylvester cartoon.

It's a freaking cartoon, it's all meant to be a joke, nothing more

Did you ever watch the old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Yosemite, and Elmer Fudd constently ran around with guns. And Wile used a lot of bombs, but usually blew up himself up. And there was not a lot school shootings when they were on tv. It's all about how you raise your kids and teach them about real violence.

Namaste

lmao, who cares?! i don't see how him losing his good angel has anything to do with school shootings.
