What Parents Need to Know
About Minoriteam
Parents need to know that this "Adult Swim" show is perfect for its late-night time slot because chances are kids won't see it. Language is explicit, and the show's heroes set a poor example by reinforcing intolerant -- and downright racist -- attitudes that are meant to amuse adults but may confuse children who don't get the irony. No racial, ethnic, or religious group is spared, with the Minoriteam's Asian leader taking a particularly brutal beating. Supporting characters include the imposing White Shadow (who represents both "The Man" and "Big Business") and his lackey, Racist Frankenstein, whose descriptive name fits him to a tee.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the pros and cons of using prejudice as a punch line, which can either point out its ridiculousness or reinforce its usage. Why do minority groups so often become the target of tasteless jokes -- and, more importantly, why do we laugh? Would a member of the groups that are mocked in this series find it funny or offensive? Does glorifying racial, ethnic, and religious intolerance for comic effect make the concept easier to swallow?
