RIP them episodes
"Once again, the world of television is scrubbing some old content due to its controversial nature. This time, it's Adult Swim making the move, with episodes of The Boondocks, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Shivering Truth being "permanently retired due to cultural sensitivities.""

I've actually seen that Boondocks episode. Nothing wrong with it.
But then again they refuse to air or butcher The NeverEnding Story because Artax dies

I remember an episode of the Jetsons where George got drafted and then there was another one where Jane wanted to learn how to drive and it was a big deal.
Times change, they should be available on dvd or streaming though. I was choked that disney nuked the old simpsons with michael jackson.

Im going to have to check out those Aqua Teen episodes. I have the entire series but they never stood out to me as insensitive. If AT is getting chopped up what’s next? Always Sunny doesn’t stand a chance.
I don’t necessarily have an issue with a channel removing episodes they dislike, especially when they are widely available without that channel airing them directly.

Well there you have it. I didn’t know that, but I also don’t have cable so it’s not something I worry about.

How about we treat boys like boys, we bring back the original M-80, let Artax drown in depressive shit on all the channels to be resurrected later in the movie on christmas day and if you "come in second" you fucking lose?
