These people are making money illegally. BikerBettyBoop owns a web site that sells nothing but licensed Betty products which is the way it is suppose to be.
MGCHAN made this thread for us to report anything illegal, nude, or inappropriate with Betty on it that people are selling, using, or posting.
That is exactly what everyone here is doing.

Some members, including myself, do not like to see Betty degraded in this manner.

I am sorry if you think us members have no lives because we are trying to stop the illegal use of the Betty image.

I am also sorry that you feel like you should be kicked off the board here.
That is not what we set out to do here. Everyone is welcomed and everyone is intitled to their opinions as well.

Please stay around and enjoy yourself here, also try to understand why these things that are being sold upset some of us members. :)

Hi Betty Boop Fan!

I think your response was right on and I sincerely appreciate you and everyone else's support in this matter.

It really drives me crazy to see these illegal items being sold on eBay and it puzzles me when people think it's not that big of a deal and that there are worse things for people to be concerned about.

It's exactly that kind of attitude that contributes to these illegal items being made and sold on eBay. If people didn't buy these things and more people were concerned about it like we are, then those items would be banned.

But I'm on a mission... like I've said before... I will continue to go after these sellers and illegal items til they are all gone for good. I'll just keep trying. Eventually these sellers will get tired of me bugging them!

Thanks again for the good word. I agree 100% with what you said to i b booped!!!

GOOD JOB!! You're an excellent Moderator!

My feeling has always been that if it doesn't set right with me (and I'm 55 years old) then it probably doesn't set right with most people.. not that I'm an old fuddy duddy or anything but I do believe in preserving the respect that is due to Betty Boop. She has survived for 75 years without having to protray herself nude!

pardon this 36 yr old's grey hair moment

and if I remember correctly ..... I remember reading some whar that in one of her latter shorts " Mz Betty was said to be perposely in the buff for about
1/??th of a second .... maybe Mr mgchan would care to enlighten us ???

I agree to a point that the selling type items ought to be a crime .... but I tink to a given degree ..... some people ought to DEAL WITH IT and or mind thar own bloody business

Maybe Moocher can "enlighten" us... because I am not at all familiar with the scene in the cartoon that you are referring to where she appeared in the "buff"... but whether she did or didn't doesn't matter to me..

I still don't like seeing her image portrayed in a distasteful way and I regret that you feel I should mind my own bloody business in this matter.

I will not give up this cause... I will continue to battle those eBay sellers who sell these items. And I could use all the help I can get.

I'm sorry that you feel I should just deal with it.

My idea of dealing with it does not include ignoring these issues and allowing these sellers to get away with it.

My understanding is that this thread was created so that we could post websites and auctions that we felt were questionable and that's what I am doing.

This is probably from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. There was controversy about whether Jessica Rabbit displayed an upskirts shot and wasn't wearing panties (rabbits normally don't). Later it was claimed that Betty Boop's top slipped when she was talking to Eddie Valiant. In both cases the shots lasted for 1/25th of a second and were unlikely to frighten the horses.

It is rumoured that in early Betty Boop cartoons, and especially in the early Talkartoons, the animators sometimes inserted single 1/25th second frames of Betty wearing less than she ought to, not that she wore much anyway. This was an in-joke, and Disney and Hanna-Barbera animators were also guilty of momentarily undressing characters. The practice is highly illegal (the frames are known as "sublimal") but was impossible to detect until DVDs enabled cartoons to be viewed on a frame-by-frame basis.

If it did happen, such frames were removed when Betty Boop cartoons were remastered in the 1960s and early 1970s.

The practice has been illegal for a long time, but some animators couldn't resist it. It's a bit like etching cartoon characters into integrated circuit chips.

Personally, naked Betty Boop images don't bother me. I think she looks a lot sexier with her little dress blowing in the wind than she does with her kit off. However, some people may be offended, and King Features, legally responsible for preserving Betty's image, dictates what is and is not acceptable. You can use any licensed image for personal purposes (like on a tribute Web site) but if you use an image for profit you (quite rightly) need to pay a license fee.

Unlicensed images sold for profit are illegal because they are unlicensed and doubly illegal because they are used without permission on "pirate" goods. That is what this particular forum is about. The piracy does bother me, especially when it affects the sales of legitimate, ethical, license-paying distributors such as BikerBettyBoop. It is, quite simply, theft. I really don't care whether an unlicensed image is clothed or unclothed. Theft is theft.

and as for "Miss 13 year old kid aka miss ooohlala... a friendly reminder of old adage .... " Kids should be seen not heard "

10-21-2005, 04:38 AM
i b booped> Having Betty Boop shown partially nude as a joke by the animators for 1/25 of a second does not validate any Betty Boop nude items being sold and your view of Betty. Nor does it imply she is any less than a wholesome cartoon character.

Your remark to ooohlala is way off base. Are children also a threat to you? Your behavior here on the forums is quite immature. It's quite obvious you have a social problem, and are a very rude individual. Keep this nonsense up and you will not have access to the forums. This is your final warning.

The problem is that the image is unauthorised and illegal.

King Features are responsible for the Betty Boop image, and choose to keep the image clean and wholesome (if sometimes scantily dressed). That is their choice, and I believe it is favoured by the vast majority of Betty Boop fans.

I support this myself. My opinion is that the naked body correctly portayed is neither obscene, nor particularly provocative. Very few people would describe Michaelangelo or Raphael as pornographers. Nevertheless, allowing naked Betty is the thin end of a nasty wedge. IMHO Betty Boop fans do not want to see pornographic or hentai images, and the line needs to be drawn somewhere.

However, clothed or naked isn't the point. Unauthorised is.

All honestly held viewpoints and open discussions are welcome on most forums provided points are made politely. There is no need for personal abuse, nor any place for it here.

Ooohlala is a valuable and valued member of this community. She has contributed a great deal to it. I particularly value the opinions and comments of the younger members, and especially one as active and articulate as Ooohlala.

Oh my, it appears that I have certainly opened a controversial can of worms here and for that I am truly sorry. I didn't start this thread as an agenda for members to post mean comments.

I am surprised I B Booped that you posted such a hurtful statement to Oooh La La. She is a Supreme Super Booper with over 4,000 posts on this forum! She is a valuable member here! And one reason she likes visiting here is because she has fun but seeing a comment like the one you posted to her was not fun for her or for me to see either!

I have no idea how old you are but I feel that the comments made by our 13 year old Oooh La LA are far more mature and sensible than yours have been. Stating that she should be seen and not heard is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in years. We are not living in the stone ages here. She has just as much right to state and support her views here as you do!

I am grateful for her support and thankful to the rest of the members who have joined me in the battle to stop illegal eBay sellers. I am not only challenging those sellers who offer nude items but I question any item that makes me wonder if it is licensed or not.

So please, please be more considerate I B Booped in your remarks. We all know that you feel just as strongly about your position as I do about mine. Please don't attack those members that are supporting me in this matter. If you don't agree, please just leave it alone, ok?

I am not sorry that this part of the forum has been dedicated to reporting abuse of Betty Boop and I will continue to utilize it for that purpose. Thank you.

BBB, you have done nothing wrong in posting the ebay auction sites.
You are not responsible for the "can of worms" that has been opened.
Please do not feel that you have. You are just doing what this thread was created for.

And OOOHLALA, please don't ever feel uncomfortable being here. We all love you and cherish every post you have posted. Yes you may only be 13 years old but you are the most mature. If you ever feel uncomfortable with being here, do not hesitate to contact MGCHAN or any of us Mods. We will get the problem taken care of.

Now, with all this being said. Let's keep this thread open to discuss the ebay auction sites. If you feel there is nothing wrong with the sites, then that is your opinion. But state your opinion and move on. It is clear that most members here do not appreciate anyone using BB in an illegal way. Do not be saracastic or rude to them for their beliefs.

I also think BikerBettyBoop is doing a wonderful job. if someone doesn't report it what would be the point in this part of the forum? she's cracking down on a lot of illegal sales of nude BB!!

BB should be kept the way sheis, bold, beautiful and covered up!!

Ooohlala, don't feel uncomfortable. like BBfan and Mooch have said, your a very valued member and at 13 your very mature!!

As for the harsh words of i b booped i think he should learn to keep them to himself. This is a family forum and opinions can be expressed, but not in such a way that members are offended. I suggest you think before you post i b booped otherwise you could miss out on alot of fun on this forum! chill out and stop being so uptight. All the member's here are great fun and make the forum a lovable place to come. Appreciate it!
