The current idiocy over the color of a fictional creature's skin inspired LNTV producers to pounce. Here's our creative Christmas present to you, our loyal viewers.
What's next? Demanding an updated Beetle Baily where General Flap is laying the smack down on Captain Snorkle's fat, pasty ass? (Beetle went AWOL and joined the Occupy Wall Street movement) Insisting on changing Lyman to a Trayvon Martin-like character and having him forcibly move back in with Jon Arbuckle, and bring his pitbulls with him to gangsta-ize Garfield? (Who would be dyed black as night - for good luck, of course - and tortured daily for his years of abusing Odie) The revelation that Franklin was supposed to be the lead character in Peanuts but was relegated to a bit role because Sparky Schultz was a flaming racist in "Good Grief, You're BLACK, Charlie Brown!"? A Family Matters update special where Steven Quincy Urkel has grown up to become the President of the Unit....
Uh, never mind. That last one is too far-fetched, even for my imagination.
