Iranian children, and their Saturday morning cartoons.
I can remember the day when I was just a little tyke. Waking up Saturday morning pouring yourself a bowl of the most sugary cereal I could find, running to the TV room, pj's still on and shirtless, and plopping myself 10 inches in front of the television. There was always some good laughs with the Looney Toons, of course my favorite was always Marvin the Martian, I am sure he was most or your favorites too.
Other classics were Voltron, Jem, My Little Pony, Care Bears, and I am sure there is more that I have blocked out of my memory.
As I was wandering through the World Wide Web, I came across a children's cartoon from Iran.
I am not going to give my opinion, I will let you practice your freedom, and you can make up your own opinion.
All I have to say is this is brainwashing in it's greatest form....Iranian cartoons for the little tykes of Iran.

Yes, Voltron was a very good cartoon. It was thoughtful.... and effective. It demonstrated the importance of working together as a team, how to efficiently orchestrate mechanistics of mass destruction in a fluid unsyncopated manner, and how to do so with panache. It was like The A-Team in this regard -- which was really a cartoon shot with a film camera -- but better, as the social relations were a bit more developed. Also, the CIA wouldn't back funding for a bunch of diesel-run tiger machines with advanced ballistic systems and laser-glocks. Sucks to your ass-mar, Hannibal.
There was another good cartoon of a similar stripe called "Visionaries", named after the heroes that sported the series. Visionaries were unique in that they too became animals (usually carnivorous but not always) but did so with even more efficiency than Voltron, and were slightly more original in their approach. The fuel powering these animals depended wholly on ultra-light projection SANS projector, i.e. magic. I prefer magic to combustible engines. I'm thinking about two hot buttons in these troubled times, the price of gas and the damage it does to the environment. Both would be extreme in this case, considering the whole of Ontario's power grid couldn't get Voltron to the corner store let alone that army base masquerading as a volcano in the middle of the Pacific. Unfortunately, I just read somewhere last week that magic doesn't REALLY exist, with all these pretty convincing theories on why it doesn't. So it occured to me that the only other explanation was that the Visionaries were running on.... you guessed it. Nuclear power. Pure, mountain fresh, smooth as silk nuclear power. This means that the nuclear-powered batteries must have been directly implanted in the heroes' chests, suggesting cybernetic innovation and the long-sought unity of man and machine. In light of this, the combustible engines of the Voltronites suddenly become anachronistic. Clunky, even. Don't get me wrong. Voltron was very, very impressive. Especially considering it was the eighties. But think a moment on the Visionaries. It just makes sense.
Point: This cartoon you're showing is still working on A-Team time. I'd be wanting nuclear power too if my country produced this. Otherwise, we'd bore our kids to death.
