*An episode of "The Boondocks" that puts BET and its executives Debra Lee and Reginald Hudlin on full blast was supposed to air last Monday in its regular Adult Swim block on the Cartoon Network, but for some reason did not. In the episode, previews of which are posted on YouTube, Huey's hunger strike against BET is supported by Reverend Rollo Goodlove, voiced by guest star Cee-Lo. The Gnarls Barkley crooner also narrates the episode, in which BET head Deborah Leevil, a Dr. Evil type ruler, runs the network with nothing but ill will in mind. "Weggie Rudlin, my Harvard-educated President of Entertainment, tell me about the eeevil shows you have in development," the woman barks to her executive as she pets a hairless animal and places her pinky finger at the corner of her mouth. Weggie Rudlin, a man who strongly resembles BET's President of Entertainment, Reginald Hudlin, stands before her meekly and says: "My Harvard education tells us that our goal is to take all the s***ty reality shows that MTV did five years ago and make them black⦠Next month we're going to have our first award show honoring video hoes, or as I like to call it, a hoe-wards show." A message posted along with the YouTube promo clip, from "Zevin45," says: "This episode was scheduled to air on Jan 7th, but did not for unknown reasons. There is speculation that the episode may have been banned." Preview of "The Hunger Strike" Boondocks Episode
