Sharpton criticizes 'Boondocks' for showing King saying the n-word
NEW YORK (AP) - The Rev. Al Sharpton has asked for an apology from Cartoon Network for an episode of edgy animated series The Boondocks that shows the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. saying the n-word.
Huey is a character from The Boondocks Cartoon Network show and comic strip.

"Cartoon Network must apologize and also commit to pulling episodes that desecrate black historic figures," Sharpton, a civil-rights activist and former Democratic presidential candidate, said in a statement Tuesday.
"We are totally offended by the continuous use of the n-word in (cartoonist Aaron) McGruder's show."

The episode, The Return of the King, aired Jan. 15, the day before the national holiday honoring the slain civil-rights leader. It shows King emerging from a coma and using the n-word in an angry speech venting his frustration toward sexually explicit hip-hop videos, among other things.
In the episode, King is branded a traitor and terrorist sympathizer for his "turn-the-other cheek" philosophy of non-violence in response to post-Sept. 11 retaliation. Exhausted, he moves to Canada, but his speech provokes a second civil-rights revolution.
Cartoon Network released a statement Tuesday saying the episode is a tribute to King and "in no way was meant to offend or 'desecrate'" his name.
"We think Aaron McGruder came up with a thought-provoking way of not only showing Dr. King's bravery but also of reminding us of what he stood and fought for, and why even today, it is important for all of us to remember that and to continue to take action," the statement said.
McGruder, who has been called a "genius" and "the angriest black man in America" as he skewered everything from the Bush White House to Black Entertainment Television, began writing The Boondocks comic strip, on which the TV series is based, in 1997.
The strip, known for its risky political and social satire, follows the adventures of two black children living in a white, middle-class suburb.
Sharpton said he could appreciate McGruder and his achievements, but added: "This particular episode is over the line."
The Boondocks airs Sundays at 11 p.m. ET on Cartoon Network. It is the centerpiece of the Adult Swim late-night block of programming.

Kink (ho sisters might enjoy)Category: sex
oh yeh, Sponge Bob Square Pants..more like, Sponge Bob Hot Pants.. The merchandise alone treads on kinky. A remember a large pillow in the shape of Bob, with an enormous tongue hanging out of his mouth.
I bought two.
j/k..
I can't help but think about what happens when a sponge gets wet..you know, those deyhdrated ones that grow when you slip it into some water.. uh huh..
again, I think about this stuff too deeply..
You should go on the Sponge Bob Square Pants ride at Canada's Wonderland. Talk about inuendo! The whole thing was about him chasing his pickle!!!
simpsons, family guy, anything on adult swim... all cartoons, but definitely not "kiddy"... even spongebob- i mean yeah it's for kids, but really- a sponge, that lives underwater, in a pineapple, with a squirrel in a space suit? And just HOW high were the writers?
Now that you say that Bambi is a horid and very scary movie. Not sure if that was one of the movies you where thinking about. I think that concert is the same day as the CKY, Avenaged Seven Fold show, few tickets left or maybe sold out is that show.
Disney is dirty.. I have put too much thought into this in the past.
