Who’s the victim?

At first it looks like Jerry is the victim, because he’s being chased by Tom, who intends to eat him. Oh come on! Just look at his smile! Is that a face of a victim? OK, now look at Tom’s face - doesn’t he look tired of all these? Jerry always makes him feel like a fool and the poor pussycat is so stupid that always falls in his traps. Perhaps, he’s the victim? U know what I tell ya? It doesn’t matter, because at the end of the episode the cat and the mouse are alive and happy and in some cases they’re even friends!

You’re asking then who’s the victim? The victim is the six years old Nikki who creates a concept about his favourite characters and that concept makes him see the violence as something good. That concept also makes an optimist out of him, who believes that the best way to cope with someone is to hit him on the head with a hammer and then you’re gonna be friends again! The next day after having watched the movie, little Nikki goes to school and has a fight with another six years old kid - Alex. Nikki is fed up and hits Alex on the head with a hammer. He believes that would make the other boy think about his behaviour and then they could be friends again - just like Tom & Jerry did yesterday!!! Instead, Alex dies. His parents are smashed, they don’t want to meet anybody, they don’t want to go to work, they feel they don’t have any reason to live. Nikki’s parents are amazed and scared about their son’s behaviour - they punish him, scream to him but nothing changes the past. This occurance is imprinted in Nikki’s mind and at the age of 6 he already believs he is a damn murderer! This is a real story!  Alex and Nikki’s parents realize what’s the problem and they put MGM on trial. Has someone mentioned that there are no new series of Tom & Jerry? They’re always the same that are repeated. MGM haven’t created new series of the film since they were put on trial not only by the two kids’ parents and have lost. In some states the movie is even forbidden and today even in BG on Cartoon Network it is very rare if you can watch Tom & Jerry - have you noticed that? OK, I wonder why should little Alex die so that someone try to do something about the problem? It is a fact that when I watch Tom & Jerry I laugh, because I know it’s just a cartoon. Then I remember about Nikki and Alex and I no longer laugh at the movie. And what happened to the banal, extremely sweet and stupid fairy tales in which good always wins?!
