"Banned" Rocky & Bullwinkle Episode

Hey, is this the one the gov't. told Jay Ward never to run again, because it mocked a certain bear?

Research may ensue. Tomorrow, maybe.

[MOMENTS LATER, CACKLING:] "Why yessss, yes it is, can't fool us for long. Partly because we linked to the story a few wks. ago. And we quote:"
Ward loved tweaking anyone and everyone. Walt Disney was a favorite target; he even appears as Prince Charming in Ward's daughter's favorite installment of "Fractured Fairy Tales," in which Sleeping Beauty is turned into a theme park.

But even he had his limits.

One Dudley Do-Right bit included a character called Stokey the Bear who, contrary to his namesake, set fires instead of putting them out.

After it aired, Tiffany Ward [Jay's daughter — Ed.] recounted, "there was a knock on the door, and it was the (U.S.) Forest Service, saying, 'If that episode ever airs again, you're going to jail.' "

The episode never aired again, Ward said.
Really? The Forest Service? Never again? Were they granted a YouTube exemption?

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I started to get real money.
It gets down to choose a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

Sun shines?

It's January in Ohio dammit.

But I'm well pleased to learn there is a link to high yields on my investments.

If you're the Pope, it's good for high yields on your vestments as well.
