I'm getting a little tired hearing about this issue. It would
have been better if everybody who should have known better,
didn't watch it in the first place. This was not at all
surprising. Quite expected, really, and it's time we finally
start to boycott these shows/stations. As a matter of fact, if
you remember I had this to say long before the show aired...

Prophetic? No! Just plain, common sense! Forget about suing the
bastards. They're only doing what we all expected them to be
doing in the first place. Ignore them - don't join them. Its time
to wake up and face the 'real' facts!

Yelling for nothing...
