John Kricfalusi rants at length about how cartoon characters and toys for kids are no longer "cute", "tasteful", or "appealing", and, by extension, how culture has been destroyed as "...[f]orm has ... been replaced by meanness, ugliness and 'attitude'."
Kricfalusi is the creator of Ren and Simpy, the poster child -- no, the Patient Zero -- of mean, ugly, toss-out-the-model-sheet, tasteless "attitude" cartoons.
Shout-out to boingboing
Edit: added a link to the rant in question, so you can all experience the Simanity of it all first-hand. Sorry about that./font>
