Have you guys heard about this?


Bugs Bunny gets an extreme makeover
Kids’ WB network updating Looney Tunes characters

Bugs Bunny and his pals are shown updated for the future. The characters' descendants, Buzz Bunny and the like, will be superhero action figures for a cartoon set in the year 2772.

Needless to say, there are a lot of scandalized fanboys screaming bloody murder on-line but there is one hilarious flash animation that sums up the concerns perfectly.

if you want to laugh watch this.

Wow well I think that flash cartoon pretty much summed up what the marketing people over at WB were thinking when they came up of this train wreck of a perversion. . . also touches breifly on what they were smoking at the time, as well.

I like the fact that that girl-bunny has a pink triangle on her chest. . . dose that mean she's a dyke?

We'll see. They'd be hard pressed to bet the origionals.

So instead of trying they just cop-out and go with this bastardized unimaginative crap?

This sort of reminds me of a penny-arcade comic (http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2005-03-11&res=l). I would say that WB is also now in the business of making snuff porn!

Oh wait, it gets better. Turns out wb's legal department didn't bother to google the name "buzz bunny" before commiting to the name.

not only is it already the name of a copyrighted character:

But it's also the name of a sex toy (kinda obvious when you think about it).

There must be a lot of ass's getting fired right now over at warners. Can you imagine the uproar when little kids started googling buzz bunny?
