More Iranian Ignorance

Okay this is good! You all know who Tom and Jerry are right? I grew up watching Tom and Jerry cartoons. Well there's an article over at WorldNetDaily today about an Iranian official who claims that the Tom and Jerry cartoon is a Jewish conspiracy. Prof. Hasan Bolkhari, a cultural advisor to the Iranian Education Ministry says that Tom and Jerry was created to eradicate the association between mice and Jews created in the minds of Europeans by Hitler. Wow is this over the top or what? To start with, this guy needs a history lesson. He claims that the Jewish Walt Disney Company created this cartoon. In fact Tom and Jerry was created by Joe Barbera and Bill Hanna in 1939. This guy seems to be taking lessons from the liberals in this country who love to re-write history and demonize people we all grew up to believe were heroes, like our Founding Fathers.
