No no, that should go:

    "It's really *duck* season....[censored]"

We wouldn't want to tell today's young people that it is all right to use guns
in cartoons.  It would make them violent.  No, it's better to let them
see alien creatures blasting each other with laser guns and tanks (available
at your toy store in time for christmas).  You see, by cutting out the violence
in cartoons you can cut a Bugs Bunny cartoon time by a half to two thirds. 
This allows more time for commercials that sell laser guns and GI Joes.

Most cities show Bug's Bunny cartoons during the after school hour.  These
have not been butchered by the networks, and in fact contain cartoons that
are rarely seen on Saturday morning.  Tape those.  Included is a delightful 
scene where Bugs defeats a mad scientist by putting both under the influence
of ether (Just say No, kiddies), and another where a dog is pulling himself
along by his front legs, dragging his rear, and suddenly stopping because
is feels too good (censor that, prudes).
