I agree.

I remember reading an interview with Simon Cowell of American Idol fame. He was trying to sell an American version of Britain’s Pop Idol to AbC, CBS, etc. but they were extremely rude to him.

One interviewer, he said took off his shoes and socks and propped his bare feet on the desk right in Simon’s face, another told Simon to start selling whatever it was he was selling then held up his hand after two seconds, said he’d heard enough and that the answer was “no.”

Fox was his last resort and the rest is history.
