Boston Bummer

Kudos to Jim Samples, former head of the Cartoon Network, for resigning after the terrorism scare in Boston initiated by his ill-conceived plan to promote a program through "guerrila marketing." Many people today are willing to "accept responsibility" for their mistakes, but few are willing to pay the consequences.

On second thought, give Samples just one kudo. The character on the circuit board-like device was giving "the finger," and I for, one, am sick of nasty and crude cartoons. We get enough of that garbage in the rest of the entertainment industry. Cartoons should be for kids.
