Well I’m not sure whether to ban ABC in my home or just this program. We happened to be watching it- not sure why. Maybe that’s the problem. Anyway, it was featuring Ozzy Osbourne, a person I have no respect for or interest in. Out of nowhere they ran a tape of his wife essentially exposing herself. I was horrified. They could have at least had a little note that it was going to only be appropriate for porn addicts. Then to top it off, their story coming up was about Sex in the City, and had a bunch of shorts from that series that I don’t feel are appropriate for network television. I won’t be watching ABC or Primetime anymore. And neither will anyone in my home. I’ve e-mailed ABC News, ABC, and the FCC to lodge my complaint.
Update (March 9, 2004): I’ve received an e-mail from ABC since complaining that they are passing on my comments to the show’s producer. I also got one from the FCC to whom I reported this. They sent me the forms and information on filing a formal complaint that they will investigate and possibly prosecute (or fine). I’m going to do it.
Go Dave!
Something that has always bothered me has been the label given to this type of content… Adult. "Pornography addicts" as you wrote or "morally lacking" would be better labels.
And now days, it isn’t even labeled as inappropriate for anyone.
