Aqua Teen Hunger Force Sucks

Can I just say this about Aqua Teen Hunger Force? The show eff-ing sucks. Don't get me wrong, if I'm Turner or Warner or whatever, I'm handing the guy who did the campaign a cush job and paycheck in an untraceable division of the empire two months after I shitcan his ass for netting me a $2 million fine (less than 50 % of what that guy will make in a year) for threatening to incinerate the City of Boston. That was a nice little stunt --- an infield homer of free ink! But man, I gotta tell ya, the product sucks.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force is not Brilliant. It's not even funny. There's nothing there --- it's the biggest waste of time in the universe. I asked people today: What do you actually think of Aquateen Hunger Force? The question startled them. Because it was about a subject of pop culture conversation, and yet it was completely out of the blue The best response I could come up with was "It's not really funny, but it's just something you can kind of zone out to, because, you know, you just want to zone." That's right, hook up your umbilical cord to the big glowy box and suck on that tittie from the inside for a little bit. That ain't a show folks, that's a sensation. That's an instinct. That's fullfiling a need.
Basically, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Is A Drug.
Which is perfectly fine by me. But I like my drugs to have a punchline.
South Park -- the one where they send Kenny into a persistent vegetative state? Genius. Mind blowing. The Simpsons -- Remember, there was a time, when the show was outrageous ---- Obscene.... parents groups complained about it, stations wouldn't show it, kids weren't allowed to watch it.... and the show hasn't changed in 20 years. I mean, it's grown, but it hasn't changed, and now Homer Simpson is a beloved national icon, a modern-day Paul Bunyon with his old blue-haired ox Blue? Think about it:
Nobody boos Homer Simpson.
Beavis and Butthead. A briefcase full of cash for a couple of college students and a truckload of "lite brites" (I liked that tuch) to shutdown Beantown, and a week later the Aqua Teen Guerilla Team can't even hit me with a You Tube short of the characters getting Frog Baseballed? The show sucks.
It's not that the hype ain't worth price of the ticket on the back end, it's just that, with a trick this cheap, you kinda resent not being asked to pay up front. You know, like when you're standing in line for a movie or something.
