i love the "magazine" loophole. there were a lot of publishers that used it until the code authority caught up to them and then basically just had to shut down iirc.

It also had a lot of other weird stuff like not showing authority figures in a negative light. Heavy restrictions on horror and occult stuff. Crime could never pay, if you did a crime story it had to end with the cops arresting everyone. Superheroes were what was left standing after everything else kids would find interesting was banned.

they were definitely against tits but it was a lot more. one of the tenets when it was set up in the 50s said "No comic magazine shall use the words "horror" or "terror" in its title."

between that and the hays code, it was a real terrible time for tits. thankfully, we now live in an age where every water cooler prestige television show has to have a giant orgy scene, video games have boob sliders, and alan moore did an entire comic indicating how horny he was to have a threesome so his wife would let him.

Finished Sopranos season 3. Good episodes, but the season seems like it's just there to set the tone for season 4. The Jackie Jr. arc was good, and AJ dodged a bullet by not going to the military academy pre-9/11. I also really enjoyed that Paulie loves his mother, and his mother loves him.

Watched Tenet on Japanese Netflix but for some reason it was G rated so every time there was a violent scene there would be a weird cut and someone would be on the ground like the old dubs of dragon ball z.
