21:55 - For the love of God, STOP it with the Scooby-Doo already!

An online petition to get Cartoon Network to air less Scooby-Doo.
Not that I have any evidence that these things work, but for the sake of common decency and my own sanity, I implore all who watch CN and have at least three fibers of taste to rub together to rush to the site and add their voices.
Cartoon Network has some of the best new programming on the air today; yet they insist upon filling entire weekends with Scooby-Doo and its horrific spin-offs. Every night I'm lulled to a fitful sleep by the sounds of Scooby-Doo solving some damn mystery with Don Knotts or Cass Elliot or the Addams Family or Sonny & Cher, and washed-up 60s actors are not my idea of things I want in my head while I sleep.
We need "Adult Swim" to be expanded, we need "O Canada" and "Late Night Black & White" back, and we need the same people who realize the genius of Genndy Tartakovsky to pick up whoever at the studio thinks Scooby-Doo is at all enjoyable to watch, pick him up by the neck-scruff and the crotch, and hurl him shrieking from the 27th-story window onto the midday freeway traffic below.
And then all will be well with the world.
