		<description>At the beginning, I was reminded of the &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Maya numeration system&lt;/a&gt; (where a dot represents 1 and a bar represents 5). 

Very interesting... and funny.</description>

		<description>Japanese pop culture is the story of women-dominated public interest groups complaining about pretty common sense things and male-dominated content companies completely ignoring them.</description>

		<description>The PTS apparently complained about nipples and breasts in まいっちんぐマチコ先生. Here&#039;s the opening scene:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEvNZdYtXCA

There&#039;s a comment in the wiki entry:

社会の反響

非常に人気のあるアニメであったが、毎回乳房の露出があるという性質上PTA等からの苦情も多かった。1982年には京都で「マチコ先生に抗議する会」まで結成された。そのために放送が打ち切られたという。原作者は、後に「友情の大切さを描いたつもりだったが、PTAの人たちに理解してもらうことは難しかった」と語っている。

しかし、お色気を除くとむしろ人間関係の密さの印象の残る温かい作品とも言える。本放送時には現実の世界では中学校で校内暴力など、暴力的な非行が多発していたが、当作品にはそれは出てこない。小学生の他、非行の少ない中学校の生徒にとっても、当作品で描かれた教師と生徒の仲のよさは案外現実の学校生活に近く、それが人気の一因だったかもしれない。

当時の国会でも取り上げられ問題になった。

山口県では放送がなかったが、これについては当時、山口放送（当時日本テレビ系列・テレビ朝日系列クロスネット）は山口県教育委員会と関係が深く、かつては同県の教育長経験者が社長を務めたこともあり、いわゆる「エログロ低俗化」を拒絶する体質があった事（一例として、『11PM』や『ミセス&amp;ミセス』の打ち切り）や、テレビ山口（当時TBS系列・フジテレビ系列クロスネット）も編成上放送枠がなかったためとの見方がある。ただし、山口県内では、福岡放送など近県のテレビ局を視聴していた世帯も多かったため、山口県内でも視聴できたところは多い。

愛媛県では何度も再放送を行った。</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a little surprised at the extended consideration given to the idea that a TV show causes [sic] crime; never mind the often moralistic or censorious motives behind the proponents of such ideas [from comic books to TV to video games]; the whole idea on its face just seems over-deterministic.

Early on, Sesame Street producers found that, especially for pre-school age kids, the show was modeling behavior. So they got rid of Don Music banging his head on the piano when he was frustrated because parental reports and their own research found that some kids were picking it up. 

But what criminal behavior is Curriculumachine accused of modeling? Hostessing? Smoking? Drinking whiskey straight from the bottle? having an affair with the OL? Was there a sense in JP that kids need[ed] to be shielded from such things on TV the way they/we were in the US? 

The casual violence of another warped, 70&#039;s kids show, Kure Kure Takora, makes me think that these protective inhibitions just weren&#039;t operative at the time.</description>

		<description>Well, suicide rates have gone up consistently from the 1970s to today, but an obaachan at a hotel I lived in for a while taught me this children&#039;s song from her youth that was all about a samurai committing seppuk. Since it has historic and cultural significance and value, I think it has always been a fairly normal topic in children&#039;s entertainment.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;It’s a fairly popular pastime to play “spot the drug reference” in British children’s TV programmes from the 60s and 70s&lt;/i&gt;

Yeah, I am glad you mentioned this, because  it&#039;s a totally different ball game. There are basically no hidden jokes on the show (maybe the Mishima outfit in the suicide gag) and just pretty straight-forward adult humor. P. Macias&#039; pointed out that &lt;i&gt;The Electric Company&lt;/i&gt;&#039;s Easy Reader is a &quot;junkie&quot; addicted to reading. If it were Curriculumachine, they would have just introduced the word &quot;Junkie&quot; to teach you  &quot;ja.&quot;</description>
