Why you gotta do Robot Chicken like that?
The Onion A.V. Club has an interview with the creators of ATHF. Why they don’t mention Robot Chicken is beyond me. That is the most awesomest show, ever! Any time Voltron can get served is a good time.
The Onion A.V. Club | Matt Maiellaro & Dave Willis :
“O: Are there any limits imposed on you?
DW: There have been recently, with standards.
MM: We’re not allowed to show sex. We need to stay away from specific religions. We pushed the envelope of blood on Aqua Teen. The blood factor’s loosened up a little bit.
DW: They’re real arbitrary about stuff. It’s like, ‘Limit the blood to a three-second spray.’
MM: Like anything more would be too gory. They’ve actually defined what would be pornographic and what wouldn’t.
DW: That’s why we did that episode where someone’s head gets blown off and a rainbow comes out of their neck.
MM: Christianity’s a little touchy.
O: What about Judaism?
MM: Nah, that’s okay. We can bash away, ’cause that’s not a religion, it’s a tradition. [Laughs.]”
Mmmmmm, sacraligious.
