Iron Chef = Bad - Paw Talk

Do you know what is on the Iron Chef right now?? A soft-shelled turtle being chopped up and boiled alive.

It makes me so mad ... I mean, I understand that it is cultural in Asia ... but they don't have to show that stuff on TV (I did change the channel). I mean, would they show a chicken or a cow being slaughtered? No! So why show a turtle?? Man, I hate that!!!

They did that while he was still alive?!!! OMG! That is horrible!

Is there any way you can write the company to let them know you were offended. If you get the info I will write too!

Yeah ... it was horrible to see ... I went to foodnetwork.com and sent the show, Iron Chef, an email. Thanks for your support, RR!

THAT IS TERRIBLE!!!!!

Ya, I would've said to write a letter, too!! Let us know what they say when they get back to you. That is just terrible!

elf, that is bad.

I agree that that kind of violence should not be shown on TV.

However, I think they should change current TV standards and be even more strict than they are. There is way too much violence, language, and sex on TV for my tastes.

yeah ... I'm shocked at some of the stuff they are able to show nowadays ... not just this ... but other stuff as well. I'm constantly turning to my husband and saying things like, "They can SHOW that???" And I don't even have kids to worry about ...
