Cartoon Network Dropping Gundam and Bebop?

Lhadatt was among several who noted unannounced changes in Cartoon Networks' anime lineup. It's easy to speculate that Mobile Suit Gundam and Cowboy Bebop were dropped because of Tuesday's terrorist attacks since each show has a fair amount of violence, but nobody really knows. You can see the evidence on Cartoon Network's Listings. Tonight, episode 5 of Bebop was scheduled to air: one of the best episodes, too.

    I don't watch much anime stuff. But I think its more out of respect for the victims and their families, not because they think it causes terrorism.

    Y'know... I can now read a handful of rot13 without having to translate it... things like "vs", "gur", oddly "ivbyngrq" and especially "QZPN".

    I wonder if *I* will be seized as an "illegal circumvention device" if I get too good at reading it?

  4. They should rebuild the World Trade Center by LordNimon · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    I know a lot of people would be nervous about entering them again, but I think it would be a huge victory for the U.S. if the WTC were to be rebuilt and looked the same as it used to. Think of the moral boost it would bring, "Ha, you stupid terrorists, we're back!" Well, maybe something more inspirational than that.

    Anyway, it would also allow us to preserve our history, both in our hearts and in our "visual arts". People will be able to look at images of the WTC without being so despondent.

    Of course, the new WTC should be designed to handle a similar attack, and should have better escape routes, but otherwise it should look the same.
