Oh, so...

A dozen Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by ReganBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned - like the Fox network - by News Corp.

I didn't know that the same company owned the book's publishing co. and the Fox network. Of course that makes sense....

In the animals cube, what's at the bottom between Pink Floyd and beetle ?

I didn't know that the same company owned the book's publishing co. and the Fox network.

But, tommy, the two have nothing to do with each other! Fox network had *no* involvement with the book deal!

Damn, that growing nose just impacted my computer monitor.

Racist tirades /= mistake. Ever. If you've gone far enough to invoke "tirade", you don't get the cop out. Fuckheads.

Nicole, it's walrus. I never would have gotten the link between Pink Floyd and Animals, although it's retroactively obvious.

I just don't know enough things.

That Michael Richards clip creeped me way out.

I heard that Michael Richards thing on the radio this morning. What a fuckhead.

Racist tirades /= mistake. Ever. If you've gone far enough to invoke "tirade", you don't get the cop out. Fuckheads.

I'm going to make the leap and say that if you've gone far enough to invoke "racist," you don't get a cop out either.

Is there actual vid to the Richards vid? I just get a title card with the understatement of the year, "The following piece by Brooke Anderson contains language that some may find disturbing."

I get an ad, and then the CNN piece. They've bleeped/starred motherfucker but not nigger, which almost surprised me.

Fox network had *no* involvement with the book deal!

And they didn't pay him for the interview. If the entirely unrelated co-owned publisher did, then how could the network have anything to do with it?

Also, Borders, if you're that clear on what you're selling, and it sounds like you are, then why go all the way and *not sell it*?
