Cartoon Network giving away money to kids
Have you ever hated a TV show so much you said you wouldn't watch it even if someone paid you? Well, that's what Cartoon Network is doing. Okay, they're not really doing that, but they are giving away five hundred dollars each to two hundred kids who call a toll-free number during a repeat of Re-Animated, Cartoon Network's first original movie. The movie follows the adventures of a young boy who has his brain replaced with a famous animator and begins to see cartoon characters in real life. It garnered record ratings when it debuted Paul Reubens, Ellen Greene, Tom Kenny and Brian Posehn provide the voices of the characters.
You have to be under eighteen years of age to qualify for the cash giveaway. I plan to cheat this by calling and speaking in a high pitched voice. In order to be authentic, I've asked a small child to punch me in the groin right before I call. I promised him I would split the money with him if I win, though I'm actually just going to abandon him and move to a different city. It won't be my proudest moment, but we must do what we can to survive.
The repeat airs January 12 at 7pm.
