The company president should prove NBC wrong by sticking his head down a garbage disposal.

Quick, name two brands of garbage disposal:
InSinkErater, and ... and ... Kenmore?

Actually, I think they have a legitimate beef (and I'm no fan of frivolous McDonald's-hot-coffee-type lawsuits).

Maybe.
To me, it sounds like the disposal worked properly.

Apparently, the first episode of "Heroes" shows one of the characters, a cheerleader who is blessed with the power of indestructibility (must come in handy when being at the top of those human pyramids), sticking her hand into a garbage disposal and getting it all mangled.I may not agree with the premise of the lawsuit in this case, yet broadcasting such stupid crap as putting ones hand in a disposal is begging for it.

Well, I suppose you do have kind of a point there, except for that pesky safety thing!

You're right -- they DO have a legitimate gripe here . . .
The brand name of the machine in question is visible in the scene.

I agree completely. NBC can't show a specific product brand name in that kind of light. I remodel kitchens and always recommend In-Sink-Erator brands because they hold up well, are reasonably priced and easy to change.
To: Emmett McCarthy
Funny you should say that. I've been thinking of getting one. Thanks for the recommendation!

NBC is getting sued by a garbage disposal maker There's an allegorical connection here that just can't be ignored.

If another network broadcast a show in which David Duke was portrayed as an NBC newscaster making racially charged remarks on the air, you can bet your @ss NBC would be filing a lawsuit on the same grounds.

I was just in the market for a disposal and I don't think there is another brand.
Oh, well, they should just Xerox the press release and cry in their Kleenex.

Go big. Get the 1HP.
(I have Viking in our main house, but the KitchenAide and Insink are fine.)
The KA and Viking are quiet and do auto-reverse if you clog up.

Hobart, maybe? And I recall a model that works off of water pressure, for the off-the-grid/minimal electricity types.
