Oh boy, do we have a doozy of a nugget for you today! This little clip comes from a 1984 public access show called "Turmoil in the Toy Box."
In it, two hosts, who implore the power of Jesus to break your household from the bondage of the evil Voltron, talk about how robot based cartoons have "occultic" (that's not even a word, btw) overtones.
First, they set their God Lasers to stun and aim at Voltron and spew some nonsense about how because there are stars in the cartoon, it's obviously about witchcraft.
Then, they turn to the Transformers and are appalled by the fact that cartoon robots actually get shot and killed. Little steam comes out of their lasered bodies. They imply that children will easily be convinced, by seeing giant metal robots destroy each other, that killing is ok.
Obviously, the other best thing about this video, is the set. Including the gingham wingback chairs these douches are sitting on.

This is coming from a 14 year old catholic and that's my point of view. But I might have already been exposed to too much violent shows and its changed my point of view.
WTF !!!!!
oh man i hate this guys
gives me and my dad a bad rap
I disown those men. They scare me. I'm sorry, but when I watched Transformers The Movie and saw Optimus Prime and a bunch of other Transformers get slaughtered, my first thought was not that I should go out and kill someone. I think that seeing these robots (ROBOTS, not humans) die, if anything, just gave Transformers Generation 1 a bigger sense of realism. You wnated to connect with these characters, knowing that they could die in any episode. It's like Heroes. Unfortunately, those crappy anime spinoffs will never amount to Generation 1.
Ugh. Those two guys will be needing Jesus's help when the mech fans get through with them.
I’m a Christian and think the Transformers part was a tad bit over the top, but the part on Voltron was the truth! In the vid the guy even call her a witch. puttin’ that kinda crap into your system is bad for everyone let alone little kids.

I have never understood this viewpoint... in what way does the bad guy consulting a witch poison the minds of the children. Even from a standpoint that witchcraft is evil power granted by satan, it's the bad guys using it.... what's the problem? are we worried our children might learn that a)Witchraft is evil and b)People who rely on magic always lose?
what's wrong with that?
oh and G4tdaddy, when they said stars they were talking about the rampant pentacles in voltron used in that show to symbolize the five lions which become one robot, not the stars in the night sky..
Also how the hell do robots have sex? im curios to see how that works lol
lol, the host LOOKS like an actor from a really bad porno film
Oh, and LM and paradigm: Nice job keeping things mature.
