4kids is a company that butchers imported anime shows to make them Cartoon Network friendly. This means getting rid of all the blacks and changing anything to do with Japan to make it look like it has something to do with the US and A. They have been known to change objects in their cartoons to make them more kid-friendly, such as changing a cigarette to a lolipop, alcohol to orange juice and black guys to good old pure whites! As well as editing out Christmas trees for fear of Islam getting all pissed off and bombing the poop out of America.
The opinion of 4Kids' Ultimate Supreme High Councilor, Emperor Bob Dole, is that the company can get away with this because, and I quote, "children are stupid". We all know Ultimate Supreme High Councilors are never wrong, right kids?
Needless to say, this pisses anime fanboys off to the point of tears as they do not get to hear Goku swear in Dragon Ball Z unless they buy a Japanese uncensored version on ebay.
