Heh. When I read that, this sudden image of a Ray Harryhausen animated
"Ted" leapt to mind unbidden, and I laughed so hard I had to get a glass of
water. Damn, that would be funny to do if you had the resources. The fans
of "SwatKats" would be a sort of collective "Jason", and Ted's visage would
be the lead head of "Hydra" with his various execs making up the lesser
snakes. The Ted-head would venomously spit forth "cancel the SwatKats!",
all the other heads would nod snake-like in agreement, then "Jason" would
enter stage-left and lop the Tedhead off only to have it replaced by two identical
ones. Cool. I think the DTV staffers are feeling the same way nowadays
WRT Valentine/Krisel.

(Maybe I should stick to soda-water....)
