What are some images in today's children's shows that are offensive? And are they truly offensive or are we too conscious (or sensitive)?

When I really got my eyes opened to a lot of the stuff going on in toons (and don't forget everyone...a lot of these things were shown in movie theaters before TV) that is when i learned that just because it's animated, doesnt mean it's for kids...I know a South Park: The Movie fan in here that knows what I mean....hehe
A lot of the WB toons had a lot of adult content in it that flew right over our heads abd because we were lil kids at the time we never really grasped that Bugs was a crossdresser or that Porky made fun of people speech impediment and etc.
We just thought it was funny.
Ironically enough, back on the South Park Movie tip, it parodied that fact that people who don't pay attention to what their kids watch on TV will eventually grow up being bad people and that over protective parents sometimes made things even worse.
Now....did anyone here who saw this movie in the theaters see any other parents there with kids and noticed any kind of reaction when the movie got started?
if there was..did it mirror what was going on in the movie itself?
Again, animation altho it entertains, is still a part of social commentary for the times.
Just imagine 20 or 30 years from now when things like Family Guy and Boondocks will probably fly over the heads of another set of youngsters.....
