It's the idea that porn stars and madams are now considered to be "mainstream" enough for primetime television that has me concerned. Is this "pushing the envelope" or "reflecting society?" Both arguments are used by the entertainment industry when confronted to defend their decisions. On the one hand, they will tell you that they are just giving the people what they want. On the other hand, they will tell you that they are trying to provoke, to push the envelope.

Which one is this?

Damned if I know, I don't work for NBC.

I'd gather most people who watched weren't sure who Ron was in the first place, and once they found out, THEY COULD CHANGE THE CHANNEL IF THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT.

All I know is that in my book, it was cool. No worries.
