This past evening after the showing of "Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island," Cartoon Network showed the Looney Tunes shorts, "Speedy Gonzales" and "Mexican Boarders," which prominently featured Speedy Gonzales. Speedy has been at the center of controversy as Cartoon Network had previously said that they were not going to air Speedy shorts because of the "negative" stereotype he displayed regarding Mexicans. However, things have apparently changed and Cartoon Network has decided to air them, at least tonight.
No news whether or not they will continue to air in rotation, but this is definitely a step in the right direction. To discuss the news, click here (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32954).
