Powerpuff Girls get the thumbs down

Discussed this with one of the classes recently, so I tot I'll put it up....
Makes for a good example of media violence that children can be susceptible to...As I mentioned in class, what I found disturbing is that these Powerpuff girls are made to be so sweetie-pie cute (with equally cutsie names like Buttercup) yet turned demonic looking when battling the evil giants.....and then they can go home and are tucked into bed gently and then sleep peacefully as though nothing had happened!!! What kind of signals are we sending to the children watching them?

Qn: The media is to blame for the worldwide increase in violence. Do you agree?
