For weeks Boondock's fans have been anticipating the "Hunger Strike" episode that was reportedly banned from airing due to a supposed litigation attack from BET. The episode pokes fun at BET head honchos, CEO Debra Lee aka "Debra Leevil" (spoof off of Austin Powers Dr. Evil) and Programming Chief Reggie Hudlin aka "Weggie Rudlin". In the episode Huey Freeman decides to go on a hunger strike until BET and its negative depictions of African Americans are taken off the air.

Haha! I love that show.
I don't see what's so bad about that. People make caricatures all the time. I wouldn't mind if it were me being made fun of. I'd think it was kind of cool actually.
