A banned Boondocks episode that satirizes BET has leaked online. The segment was not meant to ever see the light of day after Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder lampooned the network.
We suggest you watch the episode before it disappears. Here is HipHopDX explanation of the episode.
HipHopDX previously released a clip of the episode, which revolved around child character Huey Freeman going on a hunger strike until the television station BET was either taken off the air, or all of the executives committed Japanese style ritual suicide. Debra Lee and Reggie Hudlin, the CEO and president of the station, were notably parodied as "Dr. Leevil" and "Wedgie Hudlin," respectively. Leevil—complete with an outfit and dead hairless dog similar to the Austin Powers character Dr. Evil—says, “Our leader Bob Johnson had a dream of creating a network that would accomplish what hundreds of years of slavery, Jim Crow and malt liquor couldn’t: the destruction of black people.”
The episode has various swipes at BET, from comments about their reality shows to outrageous slogan suggestions like, "BET: You Niggas Have Nothing Better To Watch." The station has been a constant ragamuffin for accusations of programming that perpetuates black stereotypes. source
Aaron is a Genius!!!
