Guess what? “Li’l Bush” will be a success.

Because even if Comedy Central never makes it past the original order of 6 episodes it will succeed because of the hype…

This cartoon will be lauded as the funniest thing ever by leftists on and off that network. The cartoon was featured on YouTube and had plenty of “OMFG!!! LOL!!!1!!” comments and high ratings pushing it to top 300,000+ views in a couple of days back in September, which is exactly how Comedy Central found it.

Once the cartoon is on Comedy Central, Colbert will feign indignation about the cartoon which is nothing more than a promo for the cartoon on his show. If ratings are bad enough, Jonny Leibowitz will bring the head writer of the cartoon on TDS for a hard hitting sitdown in the seat of heat sponsored by Amp’d Mobile. The DVD sales of the “Li’l Bush: Too Right For TV!” edition won’t set sales records but will more than make up for the initial capital outlay that Viacom paid for those 6 episodes.

C’mon, this cartoon cost next to nothing to produce–the animation is not going to win any awards for technical innovations (although I’m sure the content will win all manner of pats on the back from the like-minded writers’ guilds in Hollywood, Chicago, and NYC).

What many on our side fail to admit is that this cartoon will succeed mainly because conservatives laugh at cartoons like “Li’l Bush” or “Family Guy” or any of ther other 8,247 cartoons out there bashing them as hateful, ignorant, racist oppressive thugs and justify their laughing at the cartoon that ripped them a new one by sheepishly saying: “Well, it’s just entertainment.” This is the response you’ll often hear when pointing out the anti-traditionalist themes and dialogue from “Battlestar Galactica” “Star Trek: TNG” “Heroes” “Superman Returns” ad infinitum.

Note that if a conservative uses a witty remark to point out the hypocrisy of the so-called “progressives”, the left immediately comes together across the cybersphere, print, and all forms of mass media to brand the conservative as one of the many hateful, ignorant, racist oppressive thugs with no sense of humor that are ruining the world with their conservative views.

Hey, aren’t Republicans supposed to have stolen all of the wealth in the world? Then I must ask why aren’t Republicans buying TV networks, movie studios, and newspaper printing presses? If you did you would see talented conservative comedians, cartoonists, actors, directors, and screenwriters actually produce entertainment that the traditionalist majority in the world would want to see and pay money to see it (i.e. box office hits such as “The Passion”).

Instead you tell your daughters: “Nice poetry, dear. Now if you want to write for a living, you must learn to write business proposals because your dream to live in Paris and write for a fashion magazine is nonsense.”

Instead you tell your sons: “You want to be an actor? But you can’t make a living doing that–and people will say you are homosexual. If you want to use your talent for public speaking, you should go into sales and join the Toastmasters down at the Lion’s Club.”

And meanwhile, the liberals will tell your sons and daughters that parents are always wrong, dreams always come true, and if your dreams don’t come true it was the fault of your right-winger parents that held you back from thinking freely and expressing yourself…

Who’s the only Republican that has had the–wait for it–balls to put their money where their mouth is and created a media company with traditional values?

Michelle Malkin, that’s who.

That’s right… A girl.

A brown girl of Filipino ancestry.

A girl with Filipino ancestry that is not a mulitmillionaire corporate mogul but is more American and with more balls than any Republican rich guy I can think of.

I only wish that any white Anglo that actually has money and balls should read this and crumple into a heap of shame where you stand. No, instead you’ll retreat behind your gated community, stick your head in the sand, and complain to your friends at golf tomorrow about how those darn kids today with the cell phones and baggy pants are so disrespectful.

ScottMcC,

Next time you attempt to make a point, try to make it in fewer than 10,000 words. This is a blog, not your diary.

I bet this show fails miserably. Not because Republicans won’t watch it (which they won’t because of the obvious) but because Democrats won’t watch it either.

You’re wrong.

I’d tell you exactly why with sources and statistics but this is a blog not a diary.

So, ScottMcC, you are saying that I and others should have encouraged our children to seek out Hollywood / Pop Culture as a vocation? And because we didn’t, we are responsible for the steady stream of scheiss that we see on TV and in the mooovies?

I plead Not Guilty

You are only not guilty if your kid is an outspoken politically-conservative working artist or owns a media company with programming that highlights traditionalist values… if not, then you’ve proven my point.

Liberals aren’t going to make cartoons, movies, TV shows, books, and video games with traditionalist values. Period.

No matter how big the market for traditionalist media might be, liberals will not as they themselves would say: “stoop so low as to pander to the lowest common denominator” because the liberal already has enough money from other liberals and the conservatives that say “Well, it’s only entertainment and I like it” rather than take a stand against it (like a liberal would take a stand against any bit of media that might dare to be traditionalist).

The question must be asked: Who will ever produce traditionalist media for us if only liberals ever produce media?

ScottMcC on December 4, 2006 at 8:40 PM

Look Mr. Spock, you’re ignoring the facts:

Comedy Central has already made backend deals with Amp’d Mobile on advertising and DVD sales to make “Li’l Bush” profitable. It is therefore a profitable deal for Viacom and is considered a success.

You are avoiding the truth and proving the point that on the whole political conservatives are unsupportive of artists. You and other HotAir commenters are attacking me for pointing out what should be blindingly obvious.

I am a 100% gun-toting Texan Republican. I am a writer/editor at a software company to pay bills but I write, produce, and voice a 3D cartoon on YouTube with traditionalist values.

Why would I or any other traditionalist ever want to continue creating art if all we get is attacked by liberals for being a right wing hatemonger and by conservatives who want to show off their L33t mad logical skillz and say “The Daily Show may be left leaning but it’s sooooo funny”?

ScottMcC on December 4, 2006 at 9:01 PM

Yet another attack against one of your own when you should be saying: “Interesting point. What would be some of the most effective ways to encourage more Michelle Malkins and HotAir.coms in the near and long term?”

Is it any wonder P.J. O’Rourke called us “the dumb party”

Keep digging that hole, folks… Keeeeeeeep digging.
