Whazzzup, Doc?

In light of congress today passing laws that will fine the bejesus out of any broadcaster that broadcasts anything that is deemed obscene and unsafe for the family, SFist would like to suggest a place to start. It has been announced that the Warner Bros. is working on a new, "re-imagined" cartoon version of their much beloved and much deserving of that belovedness Looney Tunes characters. Bugs, Daffy, Wile E. Coyote, the Road Runner, and others are going to be updated for a new cartoon series being created to shore up the flagging WB Kids Network. Will the new cartoons follow the formula of the old classic cartoons? Nope. Instead, each character will retain "personality quirks of the original" but instead will be living together on a spaceship in 2772. And in drawing the characters, the new "Loonatics" will be "created angular, slightly menacing-looking versions of the classic Looney."” Oh, and they might have new names, names like Buzz Bunny. And super powers too! In other words, these characters will be like the old Looney Tunes characters, except extreme. Kind of like Poochie the Dog.

Says Sander Schwartz, president of Warner Bros. Animation and a man who will someday find himself roasting in one of the darkest, dankest pits of hell, "the new series will have the same classic wit and wisdom, but we have to do it more in line with what kids are talking about today."

Oh, the humanity.
