Uh, I don't think that link is right.  It says I'm watching "Stiff", but it's not a cartoon.  It live action, and looks like a takeoff on the Bruce Campbell Evil Dead movies.

Assuming this is not sarcasm, the link is correct, Adult Swim has been showing a couple of live action shows lately (Tim and Eric Awesome Show and Saul of the Molemen), both of which suck.  I thought parts of "Stiff" was funny, but for the most part was boring.

It wasn't sarcasm, although I guess someone can now get sarcastic about my post.  I was expecting something else.  That's just plain weird.

I honestly hate Adult Swim at this point.  I hate every new show they come out with.  It's all filled with political (all liberal) bullshit, anti-Christian bullshit, or is just completely, utterly stupid.  Most often, it's a combination of all three.  What used to be kitschy and sort of fun is now just scraping the bottom of the barrel.  Robot Chicken is still cool, Venture Bros. is the best show on TV, and Metalocalypse is funny if you happen to fit its mold (I do), but everything else needs to fucking die, fast.

Even Boondocks and Frisky Dingo?

Boondocks is cool, I forgot that one.  Dingo I haven't seen much of.  The bits I've seen have been... weird.  Though it certainly seems far better than, say, Squidbillies.  Then again, rubbing your face in dog shit is probably better than Squidbillies.

Also, is Boondocks actually an AS original?  I've never been clear on that.  Even if they pay for it, it's from the mind of its creator and not their own stable of fuckwits who make shit like Tim & Eric, et al., so I'm not sure it qualifies anyway.
