THE GREAT YAMCHA OF THE DESERT/Yamcha the Desert Bandit

Obviously, this is the most changed episode in the "Dragonball" dub. Most of it of course involves Oolong. Much of the editting makes sense, but I don't see why they cut the violence that they did. I mean, FUNimation showed more than that in their incredibly editted version of the Raditz fight(Which came out in the US the next fall.). Did the FUNimation executives just have a meeting and say, "Okay, we're starting the new 'Dragonball Z' series. We just have to censor something. I know, let's cut all of the funny jokes and leave in some more violence. American kids like violence.". It's kind of odd. In "Dragonball" FUNimation showed dirty jokes, but hardly any violence, in "Dragonball Z", all of the humor is gone, but there's lots of violence.
