i don't know about aqua teen. i've only seen one episode of that. an aaron macgruder (sp?) is light skinned so maybe that's why most of the characters are.

Not to nit-pick (too late) but in media we seem to majorally portray lightier complected peoples. I wanna see a cartoon where the protagonist is a dark skinned black or for that matter a dark skinned black woman sought after as regarded as an object of beauty (not to objectify her but to openly & verbally express her beauty as her white & light skinned counter parts are on a regular basis). Not fond at all w/ the usage of "nigga" & all its viarants (highly disappointed in that regard... especially given the premise of the show... al biet satirical). I apologize for all the grammar & spelling mistakes (gotta type fast 'cause Im at work... no time for spell check... but ironically enough time to type this sentence... damn... oh well)! Still enjoyed the show & I wanna see more.
