I was reading through Ken Levine's blog and found an interesting MTV animated series he had blogged about at http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2011/06/clone-high.html. He has embedded the pilot and two more episodes in it and i kinda liked it! It is an interesting premise when all the great leaders and historical figures are cloned to harness their strength. Sadly it ran only for one season and was stopped due to a sequence involving Gandhi getting bullied by a muscular man and ofcourse an outrage in India and no more Clone High! I think we need to take things easy sometimes, but again this is me! It is not like we dont insult him, we use Gandhi's name for political mileage, publicity and what not, but some one hitting Gandhi is a great insult to us? Oh comon, are Indians that sensitive? Anyway there is even a line by Gandhi in this pilot - "Gandhi is only anti-violent, not anti comedy!"
More information in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clone_high, to me it looks like a fantastic idea to develop. Bad luck we couldnt get to see it go beyond a season.
