I find it curious the former Clinton administration is fuming over this That couldn't possibly be because they don't want anything to cast a shadow over Hillary running next year I hope it makes the Clinton *AND* the Bush administration look completley worthless -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

I think it's in poor taste for an esteemed television network (or anyone, but someone like ABC should know better) to profit off a real tragic event.

"you can't walk through the crowded room of life without stepping on few toes" i personally promote the profiting from tragedy. hell, if they came out with a Darwin Award television series, almost all of you would watch it. Steve Orwin getting pwned by a stingray after this short commercial break? FUCK YEA WHERES MY POPCORN! "people" aren't complaining about the inappropriate content... it's the POLITICIANS that are doing the bitching because it might score them a few more votes. that a few old fucks who have nothing better to do. but they'll be dead soon, so FUCK'EM! I JUST HOPE THE OLD DRIED UP CUNTS DIE IN AN INTERESTING WAY, SO THEY'LL MAKE THE CUT FOR MY DARWIN AWARD TV SERIES!!! /end rant -------------------- |

Brandon, just because I think something is in poor taste does not mean I want them censored you fucking moron.
Example: I think Phelps' protest at funerals are in poor taste. How about you rant about that too. Your idiocy is boring me. How claiming something is in poor taste is the "dumbest thing I've ever said" just amazes me. -------------------- ![]() |

gay
that was for Brandon and I dont think I like movies based on real life tragedy either..... except for Schindler's List. I cant get over how awesome that movie is. If all tragic events were depicted like that in movies, then I wouldnt be against them. Problem now is that it is just a bunch of big name actors trying to make a multimillion dollar paycheck off of a something horrific. |

ABC made the thing controversial on purpose... it gets them ratings. I'm sure other networks will follow suit eventually. They'll make up stuff for the roles of important govt officials and even though they'll call it a drama they'll present it in such a way that people will think it's a documentary.
The Discovery Channel had a great documentary/drama on the WTC a few days ago (called "Inside the Twin Towers"). Very well done imho. The pentagon one was kinda boring though. |
