"Eskimos" and TV
In response to the comment re Eskimos not having TV: I live in Arctic Canada. Inuit do not call themselves Eskimo, an old First Nations term meaning "eaters of raw meat". Inuit means "the people" in the native language of Inuktitut. They have been watching TV since the 50's and find this cartoon amusing and reflective of the out-dated views on their culture.
Incidentally, Inuit and penguins do not share the same pole. Inuit-north. Penguins-south. This cartoon supposedly takes place at the south pole, where you will find penguins but no indigenous peoples, Inuit or otherwise. Just setting the record straight and updating out-dated notions. I teach drama and filmmaking to Inuit youth and use this cartoon in my classes to illustrate the ignorance that existed and in many cases still exists regarding this amazing, ancient race.

I can't believe that this is one of the 'censored 11' because of the Eskimo character. I thought Eskimos didn't have TVs. How will they ever be offended?
