Sorry for the bump, but...
Kids WB. They were pretty cool at first, but around when the short-lived (at least there) Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends came out there it started to go downhill, finally hitting rock-bottom when they took Pokemon out of their morning lineup and aired the horrendously-named "Like Wow There's So Much New Stuff My Eyes are Popping Out of My Head Saturday" (by the way, I didn't make that title up - sad, but true). The reason behind the "Like Wow" in the title was because that Saturday introduced the new show "Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue", in which, apparently, they strip away all the members of Mystery, Inc. except Shaggy and Scooby, majorily cartoonify them, make Shaggy sound like he inhaled helium, and give Scooby some Scooby Snacks that give him special powers that help Shaggy... basically they turned a titanic juggernaut of a cartoon with a massive fanbase into, basically, what A Boy and His Blob would be like if it were a cartoon (read: a gimmicky mess of useless jargon that rots the brain upon viewing). Allow me to quote someone from this very topic and say, "Oh, how the mighty have fallen..."

4kids ruin every anime they get there hands on.
Okay, listen, I am sick and tired of hearing people say that 4Kids sucks. THEY ARE JUST MAKING THE ANIME SAFE FOR KIDS. Heck, some of the dialog in the original anime consists of swears - if they left it as-is, all the soccer moms in the universe would explode and, if possible, sue 4Kids out of buisiness. I wouldn't like it, and neither would this guy from another forum. (Though I like the 4Kids spoof from the Fanstuff wiki [4Wimps], simply because it's so flexible, and it's fun to make up cheesy low-quality effects to replace the violent stuff, though I DO think it was a little far to remove the Cappy policeman's gun from Hoshi no Kirby - he never uses it, for Pete's sake!)
