Caesar: You drawing, Huey? Huey: I think my "hate book" will have more impact with illustrations. C'mere. Tell me what you think. This is Richard Nixon. Caesar: That's Richard Nixon? Huey: Yeah... Not bad, right? Caesar: Huey, you're my boy and all... but that's the worst illustration I've ever seen. If I were Richard Nixon, I'd be mad. Huey: Yeah, well, what's he gonna do... Take a vacation from Hades and come beat me up?

Hades?—- speaking of adding more impact , use “hell”
“yeah, well, what’s he gonna do? take a vacation from hell and come beat me up?”
or did the bleeping censors insist that Aaron change it, lest it offend our tender ears?

I donno, Hades suggests a more thorough approach to retribution. Hell just sounds sort of like a blunt misery.
You know, in hell you are just simmering in the lake of fire. In Hades you get your own personal demon who assures that every moment of your non-existence is more exactingly horrorifying than the one before.
However, I find it unlikely that Huey could come up with any worse illustration of Nixon than those made while he still lived.
