 Honestly, did the folks at Cartoon Network forget that they're making a kids' show, and not a cartoon aimed at adults?

"Hand Me Down Ed" is the 20rd episode of season 4, and the 97th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy.
Plot
A mysterious, out-of-the-blue boomerang flies into the cul-de-sac, and anyone who touches it has their personalities changed.
Why It's a Distasteful Dullard
- Like its first half, "Run for Your Ed", it's yet another filler episode. Plus, the boomerang incident was never mentioned again.
- In fact, you could remove both episodes from the entire series, and nothing would be any different.
- The episode also feels like a torture episode of the Eds as they get their personalities constantly changed by the boomerang, though your mileage may vary.
- It's infamous for having pedophilic humor and child pornography in a kid's show, albeit censored, that involves Edd stripping his clothes off until he eventually becomes naked at the end, which is WAY too inappropriate for a kids' show, and it even angered numerous parents, and fans of the series. Are the writers secretly pedophiles, and have they not learned their mistakes from, "Pop Goes the Ed", "Rent-a-Ed", and "Stop, Look and Ed"?!
- How this episode got accepted by Cartoon Network is a complete mystery since this feels more like an adult cartoon than a children's show, and it's something you'd expect from Allen Gregory or one of the bad episodes of modern Family Guy.
- Even worse, it's speculated that this episode may have inspired the writers of Teen Titans Go! to make an episode with underage nudity as well!
- It's even more infuriating to see that this episode gets a few reruns instead of getting banned from airing again!
- The scene at the beginning in which Kevin destroys Jimmy's toys is very mean-spirited, though it can be justified karma for the latter for what he did earlier.
- The Eds' scam is ruined thanks to Eddy's motherly personality from being transformed by the boomerang.
- The other kids served no other purpose in this episode except for filler.
- Disgustingly bad ending: The Eds get pinned to a tree by the boomerang, transforming into their different personalities. Worse, Edd took off his underwear at this point, as mentioned above.
Redeeming Qualities
- Rolf acting like an opera singer is funny.
- Kevin at least got karma for his actions, when Jimmy beat the snot out of him, under the boomerang's influence.
