  • Sam from Chicago, Ilwell i could see why they would ban it from disney. i mean they practically have SEX on the bed.. he tells her that if they get together she will feel high which is a reference to using drugs. i understand it very well and i thank disney for not letting it on. who would want their child watching people making out half-naked during a commercial for phineas and ferb. well thats mu opinoin agree with it or not..
    :) love sam
