Cartoon Network's Jim Samples Resigns: Aqua Teen Drama to Blame

/media/news/20250/0.jpg

Just when you thought the worst things about the city were baked beans, fanatical Red Sox fans, and nasally accents—Boston just had to go and run the whole Aqua Teen/"bomb-like device" scandal into the ground, stomp it lifeless and leave some of our greatest Adult Swim master-minds shit out of luck when it comes to work.

Jim Samples, head of Adult Swim headquarters Cartoon Network, has resigned after the network was forced to pay $2 million in fines to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office for the guerilla, Mooninite marketing prank that sent the entire city of Boston into a lockdown panic attack. The light-box scandal and subsequent arrest of its two perpetrators was the most unfortunate day in Boston-related history since Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won Oscars for Good Will Hunting.

[Samples] wrote in an internal memo to colleagues, "I deeply regret the negative publicity and expense caused to our company as a result of this campaign."
No word yet on who Samples' replacement will be.
