A few years ago, I was doing one of the voices in the TV cartoon series, “Transformers.” One week, the script featured an evil character named Abdul, King of Carbombya. He was like all the other cartoon Arabs. I asked the director, “Are there any good Arabs in this script for balance?” We looked. There was one other—but he was no different than Abdul. So, I told the show’s director that, in good conscience, I couldn’t be a part of that show. I wrote a letter to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Marvel Productions, Margaret Ann Loesch.

Not necessarily agree with it, but nice to see someone walk away from a paycheck because they believe something is wrong, without making it into an unnecessary outcry. I take care of people who jump out of planes and kill foreigners for a living. I have the best job in the world.
Feedback here! Criminals are HOT.
DO YOU LOVE SPIDERUS PRIME? | |

But I'm more inclined to agree with this.  | |

It's not something I personally could care about...but overall it's not like Cliffjumper, Bluestreak and Teletraan were huge characters on the show anyway | |
