With all the uproar of the planned PARAMOUNT-WARNER BROS. Merger due to it threatening how the theatrical business does it's work
(amongst others without going too political),
It's starting to remind me of the time when CARTOON NETWORK decided to invade NICKELODEON back in 2004 by running this ROGUE PROMO to promote CARTOON NETWORK's
CARTOON CARTOON FRIDAYS Block.
Check it out:
How did this slip by NICK's affiliates?
Well, it was a case of them CN Affiliates purchasing unauthorized LOCAL AD SPACE.
Why LOCAL AD SPACE?
Because CAR DEALERSHIPS & FAST FOOD CHAINS like MCDONALD'S use those to advertise their products and are rarely vetted at the NATIONAL NETWORK LEVEL.
Of course, I like how a few characters are freaking out about having bypassed NICKELODEON SECURITY(or in this case SUMNER REDSTONE) but worry about getting caught.
Because even if you find a loophole to pull off a stunt like this, You'll still run the risk of getting caught.
And no, stealing SOLID SNAKE's cardboard box is not going to help you in your stealth missions.
And even FRED SEIBERT is not gonna approve of said stunts, what with him worrying about lawsuits and all.
Oh, and EDD(aka DOUBLE D) being in a PROMO that is in the SLIME FACTORY's affiliates is proof that ED, EDD N EDDY was originally going to be a NICKTOON but thank balls NICK's execs rejected ANTONUCCI's pitch and allowed him to sell the EDs to CARTOON NETWORK due to not only wanting to retain all CREATIVE CONTROL at AKA CARTOONS but also so that nobody interferes with his CANADIAN FILM & TELEVISION TAX CREDITS during production.
While people would consider ED, EDD N EDDY to be a CANADIAN Cartoon,
It originally aired on the very AMERICAN CARTOON NETWORK so.......
