I found something really cool on YouTube today. Back when Fox Kids was purchased by 4Kids and transformed into the Fox Box, Toys R Us stores handed out a video tape to customers featuring promos and sneak peeks at all the new programs that would be airing on the block. I've never been able to find the entire tape online.

Well some guy finally uploaded it to YouTube back in July. There's a tiny snippet missing at the beginning about entering a sweepstakes. They also removed the burnout commercial, the cringey Ultraman rap and the final bumper after the website reveal. But aside from those few things it's complete.

Warning: The hotness stays on your tongue for several mintues.

Can your mouth take the heat?

i'm kinda glad they left out anything related to one piece on there, they messed up that english dub BAD, along with their own censorship editing, which wasn't any better. one thing that eddstar mentioned a few years back was when the block would have this new incredible crash dummies cartoon airing inbetween commercial breaks. really took me back to one of the sets i had as a kid.

Pepsi creates a drink that'll help people sleep. Isn't soda made to do the opposite?

I already got a solution for that. It's natural, they used to be gummy bear shaped. 

I think One Piece wasn't part of the original launch line-up. It didn't arrive on the Fox Box until 2004. For as much crap as 4Kids gets for their dub of it, I am a little sympathetic towards them. They apparently didn't know a lot about the show when they acquired the rights to air it, and it wasn't until they started working on the dub that they realized that the show really couldn't be broadcasted for kids.

They did learn from this ordeal and put forth stricter company standards when it comes to evaluating series to acquire and dub.
