(Kevin Reilly, NBC Entertainment president, said the network's reluctance to order more episodes had more to do with the series' sluggish ratings performance than controversy.

"We're going to continue to put on creative programming, regardless of any possible controversy," Reilly said last week.)

I guess this means NBC has no problem showing ANYTHING no matter how evil as long as it draws enough ratings. Why don't they show the torture and beheading of Nick Berg? There's nothing more dangerous than people who believe in no God nor in good and evil to have power.

In this case, he's just lying. They ordered only eight episodes to start with. They knew from preview testing that it was iffy at best, and they knew it before the first episode was aired.
