Unlax, folks. This episode would have been taped weeks before Ft. Hood. The first air date for the first episode in the season of a show is taped in the late spring or early summer. About twelve weeks or so. By the way, some of this comes across to me as whining. Maybe it would be a good thing to take positive action on matters rather whine. Let's the members of the Democrat Party whine. Let's just concentrate on winning.
Ironic. Because a statement like that, not followed up with any suggestions as to what "positive action" might be, in itself smacks of whining.
OTOH, I see the reactions of people on this and similar threads tonight as being "positive action," if only in some small way. For instance, multiple readers have registered their comments with CBS. Calling CBS's attention to widespread dissatisfaction, if combined with other similar feedback from other quarters, could possibly lead to constructive changes. Not probably, but at least possibly.
Also, when people change their viewing habits after reading reviews on sites like FR, that certainly can't hurt the cause.
And especially with new movies, I've noticed an increase in emails from conservative friends & relatives warning of overly-PC-propagandizing movies when they're just being released (case in point: Avatar).
I see boycotts in general as "positive action" rather than "whining, not winning!"
Check.
Are we being manipulated?
