Yo, Speedy!
 
I think it speaks volumes that Speedy Gonzales is shown nightly on the Cartoon Network Latin America and is hugely popular.

The American Cartoon Network can put all the spin on it they want but banning Speedy Gonzales is just more PC crapola and protestations to the contrary don't hold water, as Speedy is not resented by the very people he's based on; Mexicans.

Remember (as the article states) Speedy Gonzales won an Oscar in the '50's. It's not 'Speed Racer' by a longshot. This is just a bunch of politically liberal 'gringos' being hyper-sensitive and looking like fools in the process.

Unfortunately, I don't expect Speedy to be returning anytime soon. PC is a religion to these Cartoon network types. Showing Speedy Gonzales would be a sin to these zealots.

This is all pretty crazy.

Hey, I'm thinking they should ban Super Man because Clark Kent acts too much like a White guy. Think about it. He's stiff, has good posture, he's well spoken and works hard, etc. That offends me! Not all White guys are like that. Take me, for instance. I'm loose, I droop when I sit, I don't be no how to talks wright, and I consider waxing my car a full days work! So for all of us lazy, dumb White guys, Clark Kent is insulting! :D

I'm kidding, obviously.

This is BS. I hate PC.
