Ladies and Gentlemen, I have some Horrid news. According to some info I recently acquired, Boomerang,the classic cartoon network, may be re-branded into something totally stupid.
Read this:
http://www.nickandmore.com/2014/03/07/boomerang-rebrand-not-launching-until-late-fall/
Boomerang has been greatly suffering under Stuart Snyder, but This Fall, Boomerang may become Turner Broadcasting's answer to the Disney Channel. We all hope that his successor will fix things and NOT go through with this Insane Plan.
This Network has Great Potential, but thanks to executive meddling, that Potential is never realized. If nothing is done to set things right, Boomerang Will Die.

Cartoon Network's Future Post-Snyder
This blog is a follow up on my last one about the news of Stuart Snyder's resignation. Although Snyder has finally thrown the towel of surrender, we must know one other thing, who is going to run Cartoon Network after Snyder? Both Stefan and I are cautious about this, but whoever is going to run Cartoon Network, better not pull a Snyder and ruin it even further. But, if this new president of CN is going to make it better, here is the following things he or she should do:
1. Remove anything relating to Live Action (movies and shows)
2. Cut back on the imports, especially those from Canada, except for a few we like and cut back on the commercials promoting them.
3. Bring Toonami back to weekday afternoons and Saturday Nights. It was fun staying up real late to watch Toonami in the beginning. But, only a bloody vampire could stay up real late to watch it. Anyway, by doing so, the action cartoons and anime will be front and center once more. Speaking of which, that leads to...
4. Stop depending on merchandising for the show's success. It's lame-brain thinking that what got Green Lantern, Thundercats, Sym-Bionic Titan, Young Justice and possibly Beware the Batman cancelled. This is why we got toy commercials. We don't need a cartoon to promote toys, only commercials can do that.
5. Make Boomerang back the way it was, classic cartoons with NO commercial interruptions (only before and after the show, THAT'S IT!!).
6. Give Pokémon and all the other Pokémon clone-themed animes a break. On a personal note, nothing against Sarah Nanocheny, but Veronica Taylor will always be our Ash.
7. Either Get rid of Adult Swim OR Suppress it by reverting it back into a 3 Hour Block on Weekends (not a megablock that airs every night). And...put it back late at night. I mean, we don't want our kids to watch this type of shows at night anyway.
8. Getting Rid Of Those Retarded Anti-Bulling PSA's/Advertisements. They are Obviously NOT working.
9. Stop milking Ben 10. In fact, get rid of it.
Anyway, that is what the new president of CN, male or female, should do, if that person doesn't follow in Snyder's footsteps, that is. Bottom line, although it is good that the person we are fighting against finally surrendered, the one important part about fixing a network is seeing if the person fixes the mistakes his or her predecessor made or not. Knowing the person in the business world and being cautious about their motives is what makes you a strong and wise leader. Thanks Stefan. I will be more cautious about things like this next time.
Now if you'll excuse, there is a 9 year old Brony named Grayson Bruce that needs help and I must support his cause. Until next time. Stay Frosty and Godspeed, my friends!
If you want to pledge your support for Grayson Bruce, visit www.facebook.com/SupportForGrayson and if you got Twitter account, type in #supportforgrayson . This young Brony needs all the help he could get. Cartoon characters like Twilight Sparkle and friends can do anti-bullying messages than Stuart Snyder any day and that's saying something.

An ACF Special Report - Stuart Snyder has resigned! FINALLY!!
This is an ACF Special Report
Stuart Snyder, who has been Cartoon Network's president since the aftermath of the Boston Bomb Scare, has resigned. As we recall, ever since taking over after Jim Samples' resignation, Snyder ruined Cartoon Network beyond recognition by ditching the "All Cartoons, All the Time" format, in favor for imports, Pokémon clone themed animes, and most disturbing of all, live action shows and movies. Snyder had such a bad reputation that some people think of him as either the spawn of the devil or the real life equivalent to Judge Doom. I've recently been tweeting for Snyder's termination on my twitter account after he and his cronies lied about Beware the Batman returning on January. As a Batman fan, I am offended. I may not like it because of the lack of Batman's classic rogues gallery aside from Ra's Al-Ghul, but this show deserves a chance before judging it complete. With Snyder's resignation being legit, being for real this time, Cartoon Network may have a chance to return to its former glory, including bringing action cartoons and Japanese anime back in the fold. For more information, visit the following site:

This is a good day to be an Animation Crusader and those who want to see justice done. Zarghami, Iger, Sweeney and Nikki Reed are next. But for now, let us celebrate this righteous moment. We've won.
