You are required, didn't you hear?
I can completely understand you or several people not knowing what that was. But eventually, before thousands of dollars were wasted, someone somewhere could've recognized what it was. I've never seen the show myself but still know what that is. As Okuni said, it was up for a while and in other places, so someone should've been more on the ball with this and not let it get so out of control.
Oh yeah, definitely.
I... um.... avoid Cartoon Network these days because I am soooooo tired of listening to the Imaginary Friends drivel over and over and over...
I don't even have satellite anymore Since we moved, we've been without. So, I don't know what's on anymore. We just download Venture Bros and that's it.
Monkeyboy makes a good point about the advertising costs. There's no way they could've afforded that kind of publicity.
I think the point of a lawsuit is to prevent future demonstrations like this but I honestly don't know if I like that idea. The whole situation stinks.

Well, seeing how Turner probably brings in millions per year, then yeah. It's apology money. I still think it's stupid anyone got so upset about a public embarrassment.
When I posted earlier, I hadn't read the daily news, I was going by the previous day's news.
