In as part of the continue discussion of the RISE OF THE HOMOSEXUAL MOVEMENT IN AMERICA, The latest episode of "The Boondocks," the satirical animated TV series that airs on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim slate, took brutal aim at Perry and his brand, which blends melodrama, raucous comedy and religious themes. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/la-et-boondocks-20100622,0,7384934.story?track=rss

Coming under intense ridicule is Perry's portrayal of Madea, the gun-toting, foul-mouthed grandmother at the center of many of his films.

In "Pause," an episode written by McGruder and executive producer Rodney Barnes that aired June 20th, a thinly disguised version of Perry named Winston Jerome is positioned as a closeted, cross-dressing cult leader whose love of the Christian faith is a mask for his true sexuality. Though the character bears little physical or vocal resemblance to Perry, the reference is obvious to those familiar with Perry's work. The dancing Ma Duke is a clear parody of Madea.
