URGENT! Free Speedy Gonzales Now!
Today is the last day for petitioning Cartoon Network to air Speedy Gonzales cartoons in the United States. Cartoon Network DOES air this cartoon in Latin/Central America, but will not do so in the U.S. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> because they feel it may be an insult to the Latino community in the U.S. If it's OK to show it in Latin countries, why not here. Anyway, you can read more details about it and send an email to Ian Punnett who is heading up the petition to Cartoon Network. Spread the word and make the final push!

I grew up with Speedy. I wondered why he wasn't on TV anymore. So let me get this straight. Certian counties in California REQUIRE you to be bilingual yet the stations are afraid to air Speedy and his "Aribba Arriba Andele Andele"(my first Espanol words I might add).
Guess they fail to look at Census reports that point to the fact that Latinos are the fastest growing Minorities! What a bunch of foolios.
