The Last Laugh

With the serious and grave publicity stunt that Cartoon Network had decided to pull in order to promote Aqua Teen Hunger Force, I felt that their course of action in rectifying the situation was appropriate. Instead of trying to displace responsibility or burying their heads in the sand, Cartoon Network took full responsibility for its actions and the head of Cartoon Network understood the consequences when announcing he felt it best if he stepped down. Cartoon Network recognized the legal implications of their actions and also anticipated the public fallout after they were discovered. Although many viewers of Cartoon Network would not have felt the incident was a reason to stop watching the network, CN still took the time to make sure that their public understood how apologetic they were and that the situation was now under control. Cartoon Network for sure will understand now the importance of keeping advertising legal and not misleading.
