Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles
The title screen from the TMHT version, altered due to censorship.

Upon TMNT's first arrival in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, Austria and Germany, the name was changed to "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" (or TMHT, for short), since local censorship policies deemed the word ninja to have excessively violent connotations for a children's program. (In Ireland, however, the first season aired as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" before changing to "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles".)[14] Consequently, everything related to the Turtles had to be renamed before being released in these nations (comic books, video games, toys, etc.) The lyrics were also changed, such as changing "Splinter taught them to be ninja teens" to the "Splinter taught them to be fighting teens."

The policies also had other effects, such as removing use of Michaelangelo's nunchaku (which were at the time banned from appearing in even 18-rated movies) and generally toning down the usage of all the turtles' weapons. After many seasons of never using his nunchaku, they eventually disappeared entirely, replaced by a turtle shell shaped grappling hook called the "Turtle Line".

However, when the live-action movie came out in 1990, the "Ninja" of the title was kept even in the UK. In time, nunchaku scenes were retained in previously-censored movies such as those of Bruce Lee.

By the time of the 2003 TV series, these censorship policies had been abolished, and no changes have occurred in the content of the show. The name "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" remained unchanged for the 2003 TV series. As a result, in the UK, the 1987 TV series is still called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and the 2003 TV series is called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, hence a disambiguation between the two TV series





Looks like we experienced their overprotective phase
Yes, I cared enough to wikipedia it

 

^ I actually only found out about that like a week ago! haha..


Also. shugar, fook, fick, fockle.
2 posts short of 100 today.
That is really annoying.

 

A dead spider just fell onto my face. WTF. I just screamed the place down

 

Argh, it cant have been dead. Its gone!
It was still for about 10 minutes and now has disappeared. Wish Id squashed the bastard just incase

 

That's horrible! Spiders are good. They kill flies. Flies are bad.

We never kill spiders. Grab a plastic box or something, get 'em in it and get them to the door as fast as you can.

The other day we had a really fat, fast black spider here and it took me and my brother about 15 minutes to get rid of it. It was pretty scary. In the end we got a bin, got it inside, then chucked the bin outside. and slammed the door shot.

Yesterday was a not so scary spider. It was bigger but really thin and looked fragile. I took care of that one on my own.

 

I also have a ginger hair fetish.

I like the idea of a red cha cha :reddevil:
