I am astonished at how much time some people had on their hands: My mother brought to my attention the article on S-E-X in ``The Lion King'' (MetroNews, Sept. 2).
After reading the article, I decided to look for this ``sex scene.'' To see it, someone has to be looking very hard. I watched the part of the movie where this ``sexual reference'' was made; it took me a dozen tries to see it.
This very fleeting message is no reason to pull such a wonderful movie off the shelves, as suggested by The American Life League.
I had seen ``Lion King'' about 20 times and had never noticed this word.
