Yes, it has been cancelled.  However, I doubt that the scenes you saw
were the result of the cancellation, as it was only announced a few days
ago.  I suspect that the scenes you describe were more a reaction to the
general opinion of Misfits in the industry.  It has been the butt of
many jokes this year (the way Manimal was last year (or was it the year
before?)).
