Cameron: Cooper, I'm still traumatized by Qubo's shutdown. On February 27, 2021, I was watching Inspector Gadget on my cable box watching Inspector Gadget. After awhile it went to black for 9 minutes. After that it shown all of the characters from shows I saw on Qubo for some reason there where rips. Implying this was hastily done. They were in a blurry-like background that got more red everytime character gets shot. Also, it had the Qubo logo that got darker and darker until near the end where it's black. There was also that Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask music when the timer is under 30 seconds. Speaking of which, there was a timer of 4 minutes with the modern Smash Bros. font. Who was the first to be shot? Well it's Rupert Bear. I remember what the characters looked like when they were shot. Most of them had photo-realistic skulls with crudely drawn blood as they looked like they were shot with a 12-gauge, like Rabbit from My Friend Rabbit or sometimes hyper-realistic blood. But some crudely drawn bones like Max from Monster Math Squad, Or none like Shelldon Clam from. Well. Shelldon. The text said " Your favorite Qubo characters need YOUR help! At 11:59 EST, Qubo will cease operations unless $16,350,000 can be raised by viewers like you. Call (248) 434-5508 and donate now!" In the Arial font. Also. The others where on the bottom left said " save qubo now. (248) 434-5508" in the usual font the qubo channel has. I was a bit confused because that is the PBS Kids slogan before you watch the show. And most kids are watching Qubo. So I called the number and a song played. Rick Staley's Never Gonna Give You Up. I just thought that was the music before the call. But there was nothing of the call besides the music. I yelled "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" and hung up. I was bugged. After all the characters were dead, there was text saying: "Due to the negligence and selfishinaness of our viewers, Qubo is forced to cease your favorite programs as of 11:59:59 PM EST February 27, 2021. We have brought quality programming for both children and families alike since launching in 2006 and planned to expand our network in the coming decade. Because of this closure, it will not be happening. We at Qubo and E. W. Scripps company expected better from our viewers and they have failed us. This is your fault." There was no sound except for the fans inside of my cable vox. Also this was my fault. WHAT DID I DO WRONG! I was confused. Then it showed the qubo logo it was between the words. the top was "2006-2021." Which looked like a grave. It's self explanatory. And the words on the bottom was "thanks for nothing." WTF?! Was Qubo meaningless the whole time? It is silent except my cable like the last one. I had nightmares about this. It was someone with a white t-shirt with the Qubo logo holding a Remington 870 shotgun with the Qubo Channel characters dead on the floor. It were facing back at me. Then it looked at me. They used the shotgun and shot me. On March 4, 2021. I turned my cable box into a stream box as it ran on Android TV. Get it. I got rid of cable and changed to streaming but left my TV alone except that I mentioned. I watched 90s Nicktoons on Paramount+ to get this out of my mind. 2006-2021. When it popped back into my mind because of the dark scenes of ren and Stimpy. I sued E. W Scripps for traumatizing stuff. It was surprisingly cheap for a lawsuit.

Cooper Collins: Me, Mia Collins, Angela, Antonio, Caillou, and Dora also witnessed Qubo's shutdown, but me, Mia, Angela, Antonio, Caillou, and Dora were not scared or traumatized by it.

Turbo: Qubo

Cameron: Treehouse Club, wait! We need winter clothes because it's extremely cold in the South Pole!

Dora: Good thinking, Cameron. I have winter clothes in my backpack! Say backpack! Backpack!

Turbo: And here she is folks, the one, the only, BACKPAAACCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!

Backpack: Backpack, Backpack Backpack, Backpack I'm the backpack loaded up with things and knickknacks too Anything that you might need, I got inside for you Backpack, Backpack Backpack, Backpack Yeah! ¡Rápido! The Treehouse Club needs winter clothes! So I got them!

(She gives everyone winter clothes)

Dora: Thanks Backpack!

Azul: Alright, let’s get going! All aboard!

(Azul blows his whistle, then thunders off)

## References

* We're Going on a Bear Hunt: The video contains various references to We're Going on a Bear Hunt:
	+ The rhyme the Treehouse Club says is akin to the rhyme in the book (''Going on a hunt, gonna!"/"We're going on a bear hunt, we're gonna catch a big one!"). They also say "What a beautiful day! We're not scared!", albeit in opposite order, and with reference to Mia having her sword to protect them.
	+ Once the Treehouse Club comes to an obstacle, they exchange "We can't go over it. We can't go under it.", before deducing what they should do to get past. After they say “Uh oh, we have to go through it.”, this is followed by Mia drawing her sword and saying “Time to slash it!”
	+ Whenever Karen is about to appear, the Treehouse Club gets nervous like when the family arrives at the bear's cave.
	+ The polar bear shocks the Treehouse Club just like how the family got shocked by the bear in the book.
	+ The climatic chase scene is the exact same as the We're Going on a Bear Hunt book, with the Treehouse Club getting chased all the way back the way they came through the obstacles where they passed, just like the family getting chased by the bear. The bear even gives up after the chase.
