                Cost for lemonade

                I wrote this review on Novo fifth two thousand and double two.

                About: Two stories going on. 1 Ed manipulates Jasmine into working for him aka Slavery. Uncle Ruckus is shot by the police and he forgives them.

                Story and production: Neat story. Jasmine Story teaches us about capitalism and lack of knowledge can lead you digging a hole. Uncle Ruckus Story was funny because he has the opposite of what Michael Jackson got and he loves the white man no matter what.

                Highlight: Uncle Ruckus forgiving the police after being shot by them.

                Is this episode worthy?: Yes. It subliminally teaches viewers lessons.

                Main intelligent: Jasmine despite her age and Huey warning her gets a 2. She was aww'd by materialism. Uncle Ruckus well he gets a 3 for being a Sam-Boo.

                Should you watch this episode?: Yes. It was great.

                  Ed Wuncler: I admire entrepreneurship in young people.

                  Huey Freeman: You mean like them 12-year-old girls that work in your sweatshops in Indonesia?

                  Ed Wuncler: That's right, every morning I wake up and put one foot on the ground and the other up the ass of a 12 year-old Indonesian girl.
