Donald Duck x Right Wing Media



I guess the economic times have gotten so tough that even the cartoons can't make a buck out here. This video is a remix of dozens of Donald Duck and Walt Disney cartoons from the 1930s to 1960s. Donald's life starts down a slippery slope because of the current economic crisis, when he loses his job and starts falling behind on his mortgage. Donald sees all of the things going wrong and hears a friendly voice in Glenn Beck, who inundates the Quackster with the holy gospel of conservative politics. Later, Donald has some second thoughts as he tries to keep up with a not-so-friendly Glenn Beck. The video is a perfect example of how even cartoons have a sliver of politics in them. Donald was having financial trouble way before the housing bubble. Word to @ButImDevinTho.

Dear 'The Boondocks'



Let's just get it out of the way: people have indeed been d*ckriding Obama. It's not a bad or good thing. Politicians (and more so celebrities) carry cult-like followings that sometimes supersede all understanding, whether the person being followed is a good person or not. As a matter of fact, people tend to follow the bad ones more than the good (coughcoughKimgoughKardashiancoughcough). Regardless, Barack Obama, while (in my humble opinion) has been a good president and done right by the nation, has had some pretty rough times. He's been soft against the Republicans at times and had been too wavering occasionally. There are tons (and I mean tons) of people out there who see no wrong in the man. Boondocks, you just solidified yourself as the best show by poking fun at it. Grabbing Will.i.am, who did the song below, for the track was classic. Even Gangstalicious had some jewels dropping on the track. As a show, you really are unafraid to take on issues that are invading the minds of black folk. The trailer for your final season was an overload of satirical n*gga sh*t. And if this ode to folks forgetting that Obama is human too is any indication, the 3rd final season should be classic, to say the least. My calendars are set. Hurry up and give people something to laugh at without knowing the true meaning...

Whoever produces music for Aaron McGruder is a genius, because that interpolation is INSANE...

The Boondocks - Season 3 (Trailer)



Umm... If the state of black culture could be put into cartoon form, there'd most likely be lying rappers, misguided youth, a dramatic fight about what 'black' truly is, trifling religious leaders and conflict between the young and old guard of black America. It'd be a hell of a show, filled with social faux pas and underhanded satire on what's truly plaguing us as a culture. It'd even have a riveting underground hip-hop soundtrack and have amazing voice acting from special guests all the time. Oh, wait a minute, that show exists, and it's coming back on May 2nd. The Boondocks returns for its 3rd season after a long hiatus, and from the trailer, it's looking like pure hilarity. Check it out and mark your calendars...
