Has anyone been discussing the fact that this little character image that was part of this so called Turner "Cartoon "Network" promotion is making an obscene gesture? i.e. giving the finger?
Isn't this a television network designed to appeal to kids? Why are they using a character giving an obscene gesture? The FCC should fine the hell out of these people for corrupting the morals of minors. It's no wonder this country is going to hell in a hand-basket fast. There's no moral authority. A large portion of this countries citizens morals are in the gutter.

Cartoon Network has a late night block of shows called Adult Swim where it shows non-kiddie animated fare. This show was part of that programming.

Also, the gesture does not meet the legal definition of obscenity. It's rude, crude, vulgar and indecent - but not obscene.

After ~9PM "Adult Swim" comes on and it targets the young adult hipster crowd.

You would have to watch ATHF to understand that.

Outside of the Science and History channel, you would be arresting every network out there!

Thank Hollywood for starting that trend. Its been going on for the last 40 years, and is now on the internet near you!
