Turn off the TV
Hot Air. The fuss over ABC's new sitcom, 'Desparate Housewive's', amounts to little more than hot air. CNN/Money reporter Krysten Crawford paints the picture:
"Tyson Foods, Lowe's Cos., and Kellogg have all aired spots on the weekly prime time soap that debuted late last month. And none plan to air any more.This is perhaps where many "conservatives" fail the principles of conservativism. If you disapprove of the show, consider it too "cheeky" or suggestive, then turn the TV off or change the channel. We espouse morals and values, and chief among them is liberty and freedom. Express your liberty by not watching. Sponsors follow viewers not the other way around.Officials at two of the advertisers -- Arkansas-based Tyson Foods (up $0.16 to $15.15, Research) and North Carolina-based Lowe's Companies (down $0.11 to $56.40, Research) -- confirmed that the decision against buying more commercial time on "Desperate Housewives" was based on the hit show's cheeky script, which centers on a tony suburban neighborhood where four middle-aged women live in misery and a fifth who committed suicide narrates from the grave."
Like many activist on the left, some people have nothing better to do than complain about every possible misdeed or societal woe. And I know, this pot just might be black, right.
