Cartoon Network officals have bannished Speedy Gonzales from their prime-time line-ups for fear of offending Mexican Americans, but fans of the Mexican mouse hero are fighting back.

i heard they banned speedy - i also read he can only be seen on univsion (the mexican station) and apparently he's very popular with mexicans

i'm scottish and my favorite Simpson's character is Willy the groundskeeper, even though he's not too bright
just another example of PC run amok

Or you could just go to Latin America/Mexico. He's still on those versions of Cartoon Network. They love him.

It's racist to have Speedy Gonzales on TV.
It's racist to not have Speedy Gonzales on TV.
Go figure.

Perhaps we could ban morons from watching any TV at all?

Wait until they see the old episodes of the Super Friends. Black LIghtning and Apache Cheif are SO insensitive!

How about Speedy's cousin, Slow-Poke Rodriguez?

[codebreaker]

Viva Speedy!

[Kerberos]

I can't stand news like this. I am stil in mourning over the loss of the Frito Bandito.

[Redcloak]

So does this mean that they'll start showing Speedy on Telemundo?

[perez24]

I would have thought that the reason was that he isn't funny. Not as bad as Pepe LePew but close.

[concerned about politics]

Poor, poor Speedy. Cast out of society for being too Mexican.....wait a minute....TOO MEXICAN?
There's a limit on behaving Mexican? Well, that's new.
How Mexican can Mexicans be now?

[RangeRatt]

if this is the world I am coming back to, what's the point? First movies, then the news, now cartoons. What's next? The coyote not being able to use ACME products 'coz they are too violent? What a load.

"Song of the South" has been banned for years.

[My Favorite Headache]

Wiley will be known as a terrorist soon enough and the PMRC will get rid of him so kids do not see the violence and the ideas of terrorizing a bird or human. Watch out for that huge boulder above your head...I hear it falls right on you.

[Blood of Tyrants]

But every other illegal Mexican is welcome!

AY ChiHauHau!!! Ay CarumBaaaa !!!

What next Pepe LePew? Damn these PC goons to hell!!!
