The English dubbing for GSD on Kids Central is very weird. Who in the world would say "They'll use us for target practice!" when he has just been ambushed and about to be shot very dead? If i were the script writer that line will read something like "We're &^%* going to @^$# die!!!!". But that's not going to come true anytime soon since the show is on the morning kiddy cartoon slot.

The show is pretty heavily censored already, with silent gaps in the dialogue, skips in the soundtrack and blackened out subtitles. (They missed one "damn" though in today's episode.) Why show it in the Sunday morning slot if it's so "kiddy unfriendly"? The way i see it, GSD is not really meant for children, but i can imagine it will be very good for selling model kits to kids. (Selling kits to kids. Quite a mouthful isn't it. Reminds me of the Rifle Cleaning Kid joke back on Tekong.)

Anyway, what gets snipped off comes across as being rather inconsistent. Last season, two characters were shown getting out of bed together, one in boxers and the other in a blanket. On a Saturday morning kiddy cartoon slot. Maybe the censors missed it because they were too caught up with hunting down the "damns". Or maybe my corrupt and sinful little brain read too much into an innocent little sleepover. Whatever it is, i'll find out next week in episode 5 when another innocent little sleepover occurs. This time it's a bath robe and a blanket. And the blanket is married, just not to the bath robe.

Let's see what the censors do about that.
