ATLANTA (SNARKY) – Riding the coattails of the controversial Danish depictions of the prophet Mohammed, The Cartoon Network has ordered 13 episodes of a new animated series, "Mohammed, Infidel Fighter".
The Atlanta-based network, long famous for its round-the-clock cartoons and stoner audience, has stepped bravely into the international fracas with its green-lighting of "Mohammed".
"We feel that there's no such thing as bad publicity," said Mike Lazzo, senior vice president of programming and production. "Not only is everyone talking about it but people are literally dying over it. So we thought we could and should capitalize off [the controversy]."
Details of the crime-fighting series were largely unavailable; however, the network did promise some interesting gimmicks.
"When you can't illustrate the main character, you've got to think outside the box," said Lazzo, using the tired management locution.
