Hip Hop DX reported the story about the banned Boondocks Hunger strike episode.
The two episodes were originally scheduled to air on November 16 and December 17, respectively. No official reasons were given for the banning of the episodes from either Sony or Adult Swim as of yet.
Rumor has it the higher ups at BET have been pressuring Sony behind the scenes for months to yank the episodes, including threatening legal action. Now I’m pretty biased as a BET hater, but it’s sad the people in charge over there are more worried about being teased by a cartoon than producing good television. Not surprising, but still sad. source

Rapper/singer Cee-Lo guest stars as his recurring character Reverend Rollo Goodlove, while Donald Faison and Tavis Smiley also contribute their voices to the show. In a previous DX report, an anonymous source identified this as one of two episodes that were banned from airing because of higher-ups at BET threatening legal action against Sony, the company that produces the show [click to read]. Cartoon Network has since confirmed that the episodes were not scheduled to air, but denied that the network was contacted by BET, Lee or Hudlin. source
