Cartoon Network's Dark Secret
What I'm about to tell you is shocking. Cartoon Network, the children programming we all know and love, has a truly dark secret to it. As we all know, Cartoon Network made it's first debut in 1992. The CEO at the time, wanted to keep a big secret about Cartoon Network. That secret is what I'm about to tell you.
They aired 15 "experimental" cartoons at debut, instead of the traditional playing "The Star Spangled Banner" (US Anthem) whenever a new Turner-owned network would launch.
= "Bunny Hop and Friends" =
The show consisted only of 5 episodes and lasted one season.

The intro theme was significantly creepy, and featured random singing and screaming. It lasted 1 minute and 5 seconds. The show was reported to be very rushed, poorly drawn and it did teach kids about how violence is always the solution, and if we hate somebody, just to kill them or engage in combat. Each episode would last one minute and five seconds. Whenever a character meets another, they would argue or engage in combat and one would win and the other would die or commit suicide. The characters featured are "Ruby" the main character. She had strikingly long hair, and was very overpowered when she engaged in combat with other of her "friends". She had lots of intelligence and power, and would frequently draw her sword when engaged in combat and sliced the opponent in half. The show was very brutal and disturbing, it had lots of blood, and when one slice was made by Ruby, blood would've smeared all over the floor, walls and ceiling (if they had any). Whenever a fight finished, the winning opponent would've had blood smeared all over their side of their body which faced the losing opponent's blood splatters. The winning opponent would often rip organs out of the loser. I'm done with explaining how the show looks like, and I'm going to get to the episodes now.
BUNNY HOP AND FRIENDS: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1: ARGUEMENT
The episode consisted of Ruby and one of her unnamed friends, arguing. They were just mumbling, but as the episode got further and further the mumbling became more clearer and clearer.
"WELL I'M NOT A STUPID MISSY-SMART, AM I, YOU FUCKING BITCH!"
"You fear striking resemblance to one of my opponents who faced death upon the slice of my sword. You will face the same fate."
However, when Ruby said anything, she sounded very calm and soothed. She whipped out her sword and sliced open the opponent's head. The opponent was choking on her own blood, and as Ruby stared, she fell to the floor, dying. Ruby was covered in blood and was breathing heavily, resembling anger. The battle only took 15 seconds. By then, 30 seconds passed and the camera zoomed to Ruby's face for the remainder of the episode, while Ruby yelling about how you should always kill the person you hate, and violence is always the answer. The episode ended by fading to black, and there were no credit screens.
BUNNY HOP AND FRIENDS: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2: KEEPING YOUR VICTIMS HOSTAGE
This episode was extremely dark, and the darkest out of any. The episode began with Ruby taking three children hostage, and what could possibly her mother fighting off Ruby to save her kids.
However, this time, Ruby did not whip out her sword, instead she punched the mother in the face, causing the mother to have a slight nosebleed. The mother attempted to kick Ruby, but Ruby jumped and did that awfully cool thing where fighting pros jump and stay in the air and keep kicking their opponent's head. The mother by then had many bruises and blood on her face. Blood was smeared all over the room. The mother died, and Ruby stepped on each of the children's heads, crushing their skulls and causing even more blood. By the time all of this was over, Ruby screamed "DIE IN AGONY!" as she was bathing in blood. The episode ended, and as always there were no credit screens.
BUNNY HOP AND FRIENDS: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3: YOUR ENEMIES ARE LARGE FUCKING CUNTS
Ruby had an enemy at this point. Her name was Emily, and she would often win in the "soaking-in-blood" competitions the town Ruby and Emily were residents in. It showed montages of them fighting since birth, and each and every time Ruby would win, then Emily, then Ruby again, etc..
While they were fighting in montages, Ruby explained the story of her and Emily. Then it shifted to present day, where Emily and Ruby would engage in combat once again.
"Hello there, my friend" Emily said.
"I'm not your fucking friend." Ruby added.
"Well well well, looks like we got another loser that's going to HELL!" Emily provoked her to a battle.
"I'm going to destroy you once and for all, you fucking selfish cunt." Ruby said.
At that point, they both engaged in combat. Ruby started to punch Emily, but Emily blocked. Whenever Ruby attacked, Emily would block. Emily attacked Ruby, causing her to have many bruises, coughing up blood and dropping lots of blood splatters on the floor and Emily. It was an outside battle. Ruby yelled and lunged at Emily and knocked her down. Ruby kept kicking Emily, while she was yelling: "YOU'LL FUCKING PAY FOR THIS, YOU BITCH FUCK!". And then, Emily was choking on her own blood and vomiting. Ruby kicked her for a few seconds and killed Emily, causing Ruby to stop and breath very heavily out of being tired. Ruby then said "Your enemies are worthless, pathetic people. They don't deserve to live." The episode faded to black and ended, and as always, No credits screen.
