->''"Why is Creator/AdultSwim [[NetworkDecay showing "Live" Action on a]] [[Creator/CartoonNetwork "Cartoon" Network]]? To begin with, live action, when it’s not unnecessarily live, can be cartoony. Cartoons require animation, which by definition is not live action. [[InsaneTrollLogic In other words, Cartoons are a lie. Excluding post-infants and liars, no one likes cartoons, because they’re a lie.]] We’re Creator/AdultSwim, now you understand?"''

-> ''"I'd like to clear up a little misconception that a few fans seem to believe in as gospel: '''Adult Swim is not a separate entity from Creator/CartoonNetwork; AS is part of Toon.''' AS is a 4 hour program block that airs nightly on Cartoon Network which due to the fact that it's considered to be a separate entity for ratings and commercial purposes, has successfully fooled everyone into thinking that it's a separate channel, when it is in fact, merely a program block. Toon and AS are not "sister" networks, the way that Creator/{{TBS}} and TNT are. It's much more like Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and Creator/NickAtNite. Cartoon Network owns Adult Swim, lock stock and barrel."''
