Speedy was banned by the Cartoon Network.
Is he really an offensive ethnic stereotype?

quote of the week?
"What about Pepe LePew? His chasing of unwilling females surely sends the message to children that's it's OK to stalk and attack them if they resist," he wrote in an e-mail. "Plus, because he's French, does this mean that all Frenchmen are sexual predators?"

I read the original (or perhaps updated) article at HispanicOnline. Apparently now that Ted Turner is no longer able to run his networks with an iron fist, the Cartoon Network has begun airing the occassional Speedy cartoon, but only in the wee hours of the morning.
