 That's for a big of the road, bud. Trying to look up background info on the bump, so I guess I will polish it later. You guys all know that adult swim sign off bumper, the dawn is your enemy. There's a reason they don't show it anymore. The last day the bump loss used as a sign off, instead of a normal running time of estimated 9 seconds, it ran for an extended period of time until the automated services were overtaken by manual operation. We all know the sound that shook our childhoods, our teen years. The resonating metal, the rumbles, the sound of metal scraping against metal. Feel free to look it up if you're a bit rusty. Now when the audio cut, it doesn't sound complete, it's unfinished, not over. The producers of Cartoon Network Adult Swimmer purposely cutting off the rest of the sound, and for good reason. The rest that followed was the exact reason why you'll never see this bumper again on the air. Once again it's supposedly only run for about 9 seconds, and this is a rough transcript of the usual audio. Resonating metal, followed by a rumble, followed by scraping metal, and other rumble. And bumper. So what could you put together with that? Nothing rings a bell, right? Exactly. This part that they used is utilized effectively to scare off children that have still tuned into adult swim. It even gives adults goosebumps because it's that good. It's closely rivaled with the hangar claims in the William Street production card in Nightmare Fuel. Getting back on topic, usually a Cartoon Network employee would enter the control room left by an adult swim crew member and take over for a day. It wasn't quite the case that day, however. The usual man schedule to queue the sign-only and such programming for Cartoon Network for some reason did not start up the gay schedule. No one knows that he did this purposely, and whether or not his contract loss terminated. This was the least of problems Cartoon Network had at the time. While it followed the common 9 seconds was an extended to minute broadcast of some of the most horrifying audio ever heard on public television. The metal continued to resonate, and the scraping continued. Slowly an uncontrollable sobbing came clearer. Not one person was crying, but an altitude of people were screaming and yelling. As the metal scraped, the screaming grew louder. Soon you could hear the slicing of flesh, the grinding of bones, the gushing of blood, and the gutter room got rattles of people dying. All across the United States, millions of children and adults were being exposed to what sounded like a barbaric mass murder. People were calling in all across the country, crying screaming or begging for it to be turned off. Something kept their eyes attached to the screaming and kept them listening to the broadcast. People assumed the control room was finally gotten into, and the bump loss shut down, ending a traumatic experience no one could undoubtedly forget. In the last few moments as the resonating metal grew into an unbearable volume, the channels showed the peaking sun winking at the viewer, and the channel cut to bars and tones. How was Cartoon Network going to cover this up? No one knows their exact tactic to this day. Multiple theories have been thought of, ranging from a preemptive cease and assist to possible news articles to subliminal viewer hypnosis over the following weeks. While all public evidence does not officially exist, Cartoon Network officials do acknowledge the hijacking of the channel's frequency on the day but going to know further detail. All the late morning bumps, including the dawn is your enemy, were replaced with the corresponding ones from the 1.30 AM time slot. Where does however, that somewhere hidden in an onion sight, accessible only by a tour, is a recording of the bump played that morning? The question asked the most among the few who remember this is how Cartoon Network got the audio in the first place.
