Fun Fact of the Week #149

Before I present you with this week's fun fact, a few little side notes. First, apologies if anyone is offended by this one. It certainly wasn't my intention and my reason for writing this is to present you with something surprising that happened in a Scooby-Doo episode. So apologies to anyone who is offended by that this fun fact is a bit raunchier than usual. Second, I am aware that it unfortunately has become a far too common trend to create photoshopped art and/or YouTube videos with edited content which makes otherwise innocent cartoon characters appear as if they are "swearing" or doing something that otherwise wouldn't normally be in a cartoon. I guarantee that the fun fact I present to you today is actually in a Scooby-Doo episode (surprising as that is) and is not in any way fabricated or photoshopped.

So I was rewatching "The Haunted Carnival" from "The New Scooby-Doo Movies" the other day, and imagine my surprise to see one of the background buildings appears to be a "24 hour, non-stop" strip club. Seriously, look closely at around the 29:50 mark next time you watch the episode, which is where the above screencap was taken. I'm shocked that this would have slipped past the censors, especially as their target audience is children!

Not to mention Dick Van Dyke is also in, let's just say, a very unfortunate position in this scene. (If you haven't seen the episode, no, he's not doing what you think he's doing on that pole! lol)
