[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

@@YMangaka It was Aqua Team Hungerforce's fault. Remember the Mooninite thing? They left the Mooninite lamps around and people called in bomb threats on them? The then-president of CN stepped down because of that. The person who volunteered themselves for the role had the crazy idea that Cartoon Network shouldn't run cartoons, to better connect with "kids these days". The result was the horrible live action shows that nobody hated, and actually almost killed the channel, and killed some of the best cartoons that were evolving on the channel, like Chowder, Underfist, and so on. So... while realistically, it's some crackpot exec that got an undue promotion having crazy ideas, it's funnier to blame Aqua Team Hungerforce.
