Cartoon Network head resigns after Boston scare
Cory Bergman February 9th, 2007
Cartoon Network GM and EVP Jim Samples said he felt “compelled to step down” in the wake of the Mooninite attack on Boston. “It’s my hope that my decision allows us to put this chapter behind us,” he said. Meanwhile, ratings for Aqua Teen Hunger Force have not increased since the marketing stunt. So, maybe all publicity isn’t good publicity.

I think this is a so distressing to see. Unless he had the intent to “scare” Bostonians this reflects on how badly our hypersensitive culture has come. Cartoon Network should have had the balls to promote this guy. He will make some other network very happy.

It is not his fault that the people of Boston are complete morons.
