Watch the Banned Danish Election Cartoon ‘Voteman’ (NSFW)

What's the best way to encourage young people to vote? The Danish parliament (or Folketinget) decided that the answer was an ultra-violent, sex-filled Adult Swim-style cartoon. To encourage young Danes to vote in the upcoming European elections, the Folketinget commissioned a 90-second piece of animation starring a leather-clad dolphin-riding muscleman named Voteman who gets blowjobs from an army of women when he's not busy decapitating Danish people who don't vote. The reported budget for the piece was $30,000.

‘Tom and Jerry Show’ Premieres April 9 on Cartoon Network

"The Tom and Jerry Show" will premiere Wednesday, April 9th, at 5:30pm (ET/PT) on Cartoon Network. It's being pitched as "a fresh take on the iconic frenemies that preserves the look, core characters and sensibilities of the original theatrical shorts." Unlike the original 6-7 minute theatrical shorts, which were produced during the 1940s-'50s, the new episodes will be 11-minutes each.
