Hmmm I keep seeing this on the bottom right of the TV screen while watching ToonHD "Adult Swim"

I am finally getting around to asking what the hech does that mean?

Thanks

It's just the name they call the block of time at night when they air cartoon shows targeted to adults, not kids.

Thanks. I don't really understand the "swim" part of the title though? Adult I could figure out.

If you have ever been to a metro area community pool, or maybe even a YMCA, they call out either FREE SWIM (aka general swim) or ADULT SWIM! Basic way to call which age groups are allowed into the pool at a specific time; very ingenious and "thinky" of TOON

OMG yes I understand now. LOL not sure why it took me so long. I guess I was trying to look into more than needed be.

 

[charper1]

Lol!

I'm glad somebody explained that one, I have scanned that channel in on a
digital free to air box before (its scrambled of course) and, not being able to see anything, had no idea what it was.
Plus, I never swam at a Y=M=C-A,
Y=M=CA, its fun to stay at ,
sorry, got caught up

Then what did you do there?

They used to run promo's for Adult swim with people swimming in pools.
