I wonder if they will do a simulation of a news network making itself irrelevant?

Or isn't that what they're doing anyways?

[Diogenesis]

And THIS is the company that the Pentagon chose to represent them for PR?

WTF are they smoking?

[Dog]

Nice to see you posting...

[Old Sarge]

And this story will get buried so deep, the worms won’t even be able to shed their droppings on it.

[tioga]

-sounds like they are prejudiced against southerners.

[DemEater]

Sen. Craig is moonlighting?

[Does so]

It does sound that way—and those getting paid may not be actors....

[BOBTHENAILER]

“What Would You Do?”

They'd best be careful, someone might not give the answer that they want them to.

[Red Badger]

Ya think?????..........

ABC is doing a social experiment in Birmingham that includes having same-sex couples show affection for each other in public, according to Birmingham police department sources.

So, the couples will be in the shrubbery and restrooms at parks and rest stops?

[JamesP81]

IOW, they’re paying people to do shocking things in public and then wagging their finger at people who react to it. That’s maybe the dumbest experiment I’ve ever heard and the only thing it proves is that ABC is as full of crap as all the other networks.

[Red Badger]

Why in Birmingham? Why not Chicago or Cleveland or Des Moines?..............

[NormsRevenge]

Good God. What next? (I shouldn’t have asked.)

It’s bad enough abc has carried the nascar season the last half of this year, it’s always family programming on them yaknow at the track , run pretty tight,, and then they run ads for the upcoming desperately horney househussies that were pretty tasteless and suggestive, to say the least..

anything for a buck or two,, or an agenda.

[Red Badger]

Tthe only thing it proves is that ABC is as full of perverts as all the other networks..............

[geezerwheezer]

Why don’t they just use scenes from “Deliverance” instead? Or perhaps “Brokeback Mountain”? ABC and Disney are a bunch of trashy folks themselves, and pulling this kind of stunt proves it.

[Disambiguator]

Birmingham is where the southern homophobe gun-totin’ rednecks is at.

[DManA]

Ya want some good reaction shots, try running down the streets of Harlem with a Confederate Flag.

[Red Badger]

I lived there for a while in my younger days. I didn’t see no rednecks there...........

[in hoc signo vinces]

Ahhhh...no....that would be Montgomery Ala. Birmingham is to uppity for that.
