We all knew the banned “Hunger Strike” episode of The Boondocks would see the light of day sooner of later, but who knew we’d have our neighbors to the north to thank for it?!
The Canadian cartoon network, Teletoon, aired the episode in its entirety last weekend, and also plans to air “The Ruckus Reality Show” (a spinoff in which Uncle Ruckus gets his own show on BET) on March 23rd. That’ll be hitting the web shortly after it airs, I’m sure.
I’d still like to know why The Cartoon Network refused to air this episode in the U.S., although they claim they received no pressure from BET or others to remove the episode from its schedule. Afterall, BET does airs in Canada, so I guess it’s safe to say they had nothing to do with U.S. ban, right? Right?
Peep the second half of the episode after the jump.
