Think about it ... less than 20yrs after the bombing of Hiroshima, we had "The Samurai - Shintaro" as the no. 1 kids tv show in Australia. My parents even took me to see his tour of Oz in the late 60's

He got a bigger turn-out then the Beetles in 1964. Parents and the community were outraged that a TV show that the kids emulated by beating each other over the head with make-shift Katana (swords) and Shuriken (star knives) was bigger than anything else on TV at the time.

Hell, I loved Shintaro and the "Koga Ninja and Tombei The Mist", and that was a source of unrest within the community in the 1960's. Sorry ,Gen Xers' or Y's or Z's or whatever is the word now. Ha ha.

Anyway, just me babbling again...ha ha
