The Boondocks was a daily syndicated comic strip written and originally drawn by Aaron McGruder that ran from 1996 to 2006. Created by McGruder in 1996 for Hitlist.com, an early online music website, it was printed in the monthly hip hop magazine The Source in 1997. As it gained popularity, the comic strip was picked up by the Universal Press Syndicate and made its national debut on April 19, 1999. A popular and controversial strip, The Boondocks satirizes African-American culture and American politics as seen through the eyes of young African American radical Huey Freeman. McGruder's syndicate said it was among the biggest launches the company ever had.

Tae Bo is a body fitness system that incorporates martial arts techniques, such as stances, kicks and punches as well as traditional choreography. It became popular in the 1990s. This fitness system was developed by American taekwondo, karate, and boxing practitioner Billy Blanks. Such programs use the motions of martial arts at a rapid pace designed to promote fitness. The name Tae Bo is a blend of taekwondo and boxing.
Copies of Tae Bo VHS tapes were sold via infomercial.
