Yeah. "Bakugan" might as well be a public declaration of "Look! We FAIL at
learning from past mistakes!"

*ahem*
- Adult Swim frequently insults, sometimes to the point of being
criminally
liable, its viewers.
- Adult Swim is aware of the complaints of viewers who prefer the anime
portion of its programming over the comedy portion...and ignores them.
- The few times Adult Swim DOES throw a bone to the anime viewers, they
almost immediately take it back.
- Adult Swim responds to harsh criticism of certain of its programming
by...buying more of it.
Face it: Adult Swim *exists* to piss people off. It's like they're the
4chan
/b/ or Dattebayo of cable TV.

Again, the entire point of the bumps is to piss off viewers.
