That and the fact that it was not making enough money.  (Not the cartoon's

Actually, a character's eyes flashed red on and off for about 5 seconds,
and it caused alot of children to have seizures.  Similar to the problem
that people with epilepsy have with flashing lights, but not the same.

Dunno... which do you think could have been worse?  The violence of SK, or
the fact that they spelled it "Kat"?  :)
(my god, they're teaching our children it's OK to misspell!!!)
