The Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council has rejected a complaint from a woman, accusing Bugs Bunny of misogyny.
The incident was triggered by an episode of the Bugs Bunny and Tweety show aired in July 1998. It featured a short cartoon entitled Bewitched Bunny, in which Bugs escaped a witch by detonating a bag of so-called magic powder.
A beautiful female rabbit emerges from the cloud of dust and takes Bugs by the arm. As the two of them walk off into the sunset, Bugs turns to the camera and says: “Ah sure, I know! But aren’t they all witches inside?”
Who would think that such a bold statement about feminine spirituality and the power of the Goddess Within would irk anyone?
