Did anyone else see this (I turned it off in disgust). Show opens with chainsaw wielding guys threatening another person whose back is turned to the camera. A lady, dressed in slacks and carrying a small video camera, comes into the scene and says they should quit because she's recording them.

They threaten her with the chainsaws and start chasing her demanding that she give them the camera.

She is discovered badly beaten and dead underneath a metal sculpture of the earth that was supposedly built for a "we are the world" type expo.

Long story short, chainsaw maniacs are Hebrew scholars, person originally threatened is a Mexican - threatened because they think Mexicans are taking all the jobs, camera holding lady whose killed is a Muslim who is 7 weeks pregnant, killer is her anti-abortion, Caucasian (Christian?) boyfriend who is conspiring with his father to cover up the crime. Oh puhlease!!!

At that point, I turned off the TV and read instead (shoulda done that in the first place).

Comments, other than the quality of the drivel is getting worse?

I couldn't believe some of the sh!t that was coming out of Logan's mouth last night, and I only saw the last half of the episode(American Idol). What surprises me is that Fred Thompson hasn't bailed. No paycheck is worth having to deal with a lib outfit like Wolf Productions. It's gotta be like working for the ACLfreakinU.

You're right--disgusting. Emailing the show or the network is a dead-end, though--the most effective way to make a point is to contact the sponsors.

Why don't we do a little homework? This Friday and next Tuesday, let's make a list of all of the shows sponsors and post it for anyone interested. I'm game.

You are right - however, when I wrote to NY1 about a disgusting pro terrorist slant and threatened to not watch again, I actually received a response from the author of that particular segment. I think they were chagrinned that somebody had called them on their stupidity.

The more I think about it, the more outrageous that whole series - L & O, L & O Special Victims Unit, L & O Criminal Intent, L & O, Elevator Repair Service (joking) has become: weirdos, rapists, rape victims, drag queens and disgusting LIBS who bash practicing Christians and Jews but loooooove terrorists. This week took the prize with the anti-Semitism. I would like to know how Eric Bogosian - who is Armenian - actually felt when he heard Noth's motor mouth. Shame on Noth!
