Ever. Lisa: But Mom, if you take our cartoons away, we'll grow up without a sense of humor and be robots. Bart: Really? What kind of robots? Meyers: I did a little research and I discovered a startling thing... There was violence in the past, long before cartoons were invented. Kent: I see. Fascinating. Meyers: Yeah, and know something, Karl? The Crusades, for instance. Tremendous violence, many people killed, the darned thing went on for thirty years.
