I am sure it will be entertaining. I'll tune in at least once or twice, just so I can be suitably enraged.

Cartoonist Aaron McGruder is set to shock and offend Mainstream America once again..

Sounds like a showbiz pitch to me.. "shock and offend" gets the attention of the much-coveted consumer demographic.

lemme guess, radical ravings of left wing wackos.

Whats new?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

From around 2000 and the election.

That's the great thing about free speech - if gives your opponent more than enough rope. The "angry oppressed victim" meme will turn alot of people off. They're sick and tired of the whining.

I'm watching now. I figured they would tone down the rhetoric. I've never been more wrong.

First 2 minutes:
Jesus is black
Reagan was the devil
The government is lying about 9/11

And apparently the n-word is ok, provided it is used by a black character in a cartoon on a children's network.

It went very downhill from there.

McGruder's a hack. Really, his stip is painfully unoriginal and unfunny, and he can't draw worth a damn (looks like a preteens manga doodles). Tom Tommorow is funnier and far more original even though he makes McGruder look balanced. Tommorow or Kyle Baker are far more deserving of a show than McCooter. Cartoon Network has been steadily going downhill, what with the insipid Robot Chicken, numerous Aqua Teen ripoffs, now this. They need to stop giving their friends shows and actually bring in some talent.

I can not believe what I am watching on the Cartoon Network! Boondocks – just showed a scene in a mall where a kid shoots up Santa Claus!!!

The music is a rip off of Charlie Brown!

This is really sick!

I've seen several episodes of "The Boondocks" on Cartoon Network. Poorly animated, humorless PC racist, white guilt driven dreck. That consitently misses the target at every turn.

Every episode has featured Black on Black Violence. From fistfights to full blow bloodless shoot-outs with everything from Gansta side aimed pistols to M-16s and SPAS-12 shotguns, though no one dies.

One episode even featured the detailing of a "N*gga Moment", with the word repeated many times.

I've a feeling that "The Boondocks" will not be given another season in 2006.

Jack.
