Source: The Daily Beast. Lucas Bermudez is a recent Miami University graduate with a degree in media and English and a lot of free time to watch TV. He was twice selected for the department's professionally-produced "Capstone Pictures," writing the screenplay both times, but has since graduation turned his attention to writing news articles for ScreenRant because student films don't pay the bills. Despite a deep personal love for animation and comics, Lucas makes it his mission to know at least a little about all things pop culture, because you never truly know who you'll have to make small talk with at a party.
By Lucas Bermudez Published Sep 29, McGruder, however, is uncompromising on this point, suggesting to critics a few years ago when the series was launched in the States that the phrase "the N-word" was more offensive to him than the word itself. Champions of McGruder's work say he provides a rare window on issues such as race relations and juvenile delinquency in America. The episodes in question, however, are not banned in America due to concerns over taboo language or sexual content.
Evil clone who kills underlings and rants about creating a network "that would accomplish what hundreds of years of slavery, Jim Crow and malt liquor couldn't - the destruction of black people. Lee-vil's Harvard-educated lieutenant whose bright idea is to steal five-year-old reality show ideas from MTV and graft them onto the BET brand. Clearly, McGruder hates BET, and it is hard not to see the depictions in this episode as personal attacks. It's like sitting in on the first giddy draft of a satiric sketch in the writers' room, only to realize that it was painstakingly inked and animated.
A request was made through Teletoon to interview McGruder but he was unavailable in time for this article. McGruder pushes parody to the limits in a relentless attack which continues in the next episode, where Uncle Ruckus, a self-hating black man voiced by Gary Anthony Williams , gets his own offensive BET reality show. It's not the first time that a TV show banned in the U. At the time, CBS used the excuse that the brothers failed to provide an advance tape for the censors; really, the network was looking for a way to ditch the show after feeling heat over the brothers' opposition to the war in Vietnam.
Teletoon's decision to air the episodes is already being hailed in the comment sections of animation blogs and websites south of the border. After the episode aired, numerous reports emerged claiming the episode had upset Perry. There were even rumors that the House of Payne star had planned on suing McGruder for the episode. Perry would eventually deny those rumors, but The Los Angeles Times reported that he allegedly did take some sort of action over it. The report mentions that the episode pretty much disappeared from airwaves after that.
However, the outlet did not know whether the episode had been banned.
