I'm eleven and I love happy tree friends. The gore is funny, so are the small mammals.

What Parents Need to Know
About Happy Tree Friends
Parents need to know that this is a violent, mean-spirited site aimed right at your tweens and teens (as ads for iPods amply prove). It masquerades as cute, but characters are routinely gutted, blood spurts everywhere, rats gnaw at bodies. Parents, don't be fooled by the fact that the DVDs are sold at tween stores like Hot Topic. There is also no warning on this site. Ask your kids if they have seen the site. Then examine what they think is so funny about this violence.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about violence in cartoons. How do you feel about seeing cartoon characters maimed, tortured, or killed? Do you think if animated characters are the object of violent acts, it's more acceptable than in live-action movies or shows?

Stupid pointless cartoon which is funny for around 10 seconds. Gory horrible cute rabbits and birds getting stabbed, burned, drowned, sliced, decapitated, shot, electrified, knocked out and any other death way you can think of except old age.
