    This is a great season so far. Well worth the wait.

    It's amazing the love and hate this show gets by African Americans. Baboonbama is trended like crazy on Twitter http://tweetfeed.com/trends/baboon-bama. Some African Americans have even taken up calling Obama Baboonbama on tweets outside the show, such as the oil spill.

    As a nerdy white guy, I can't decide if the Story of Jimmy Rebel is purely offensive as fuck or a genius masterstroke - but it seems to be falling into the latter for the majority of African Americans. I used to have an older black flatmate, and we discovered the Johnny Rebel song Nigger Hatin Me together. The first time we heard that song, our reaction went like this - suprise, disgust, and rolling on the floor laughter. We ended up playing it whenever someone was over to laugh at their reactions, and grew to love the stupid redneck song.

    Wow. I have a friend who refused to watch Chappelle's Show after one episode because of how much it used the N word, and the Jimmy Rebel episode made Chappelle look like children's programming.

    But it made a really great point - which is why McGruder is my hero.

    Another great episode. Such fun it is!

    The animation in episode 5 (Stinkmeaner 3: The Hateocracy) is some of the best I've ever seen, television or elsewhere. The fight scenes have a slight motion to the camera, which I normally hate, but it work very well here to show more of the fight and give the viewer an experience of ducking, punching, etc.

    Plus, there were Easter Eggs abound for Shaw Brothers fans. I've seen nearly every Shaw Brothers movie (or at least the ones that got the Celestial remake) and the weapon the old bearded guy uses was a weapon in a Shaw film. It works the same way as it does in the show, the weapon decapitates people. There were a lot of sound effects and fight scenes ripped straight from Shaw and Bruce Lee movies - enough to make any Wuxia fan happy.

    This episode was light on message, but still very entertaining to watch.

    It irks me greatly that the official Adult Swim Internet channel doesn't offer these up to me when I browse it via my media center.

    "Blocked in your area due to copyright" is another way to say, "Go torrent this"

    Hmm, I don't like the summer episodes as much as the spring ones.
