Discussion: Conservative Groups Attempting To Kill ABC Show With Dan Savage

Discussion for article #235187

If I were running ABC I would call the protesting groups, offer to print their picket signs for them and have lunch provided everyday they marched in from of ABC studios in either NY or Burbank. Would be the cheapest publicity for the show i could imagine :wink:

These rightest of the right wing freaks are pissed off because Dan does what they hate the most - he quotes them verbatim. He exposes all the nastiness that is MRC and FRC and that really makes them mad. They are out to get him any way they can.

Will the show be any good? Time will tell. I doubt these guys will get a show cancelled before it even airs.

Savage didn’t “try” to give a sex act definition of “santorum.” He succeeded in ways that history will never erase.

Where is the market demand for this?

That’s right, Brent. This is purely political. Network executives are notoriously unconcerned with market demand, bottom line, any of that.

I’d add that Santorum himself deserves some credit for that. He goes around with a name that sounds like a medical term, and he never shuts the fuck up about sex in general or gay sex in particular. He really did help make it happen.

B I N G O ! Terrible editing by AP.
For nearly a decade if you Googled Santorum, you got a frothy mixture on your screen.

And if there is, truly, no demand for the show, then it’ll be gone with the quickness.

Problem solved, Mr. Bozo.

Wow, I had no idea about this show, but I’ll certainly tune in now if it makes it on the air. Thanks Family Research Council.

“… when I heard it was Savage, I gasped in disbelief.”
He then asked for his smelling salts and his fainting couch.

“They’re choosing him for his signature, which is religious bigotry and personal offensiveness, not because he’s gay,” Bozell said. “There are a thousand and one gay people they could have chosen.”

Because all those gay men look alike… all rock hard abs, high fashion, smart hair styles… how will Bozell be able to concentrate just thinking about a show like this… quick, the vapors are coming on!

So a proposed pilot with a decent amount of unearned media built into it?

If I was ABC that alone would get me to green-light it.

LOL

What a bunch of rubes.

The word “predictable” comes to mind.

Imagine the angst these poor bastards must feel, and then laugh.

Bbbbut religious free-dumb! I mean it’s not like ABC is a private commercial for profit business that has the right to determine what shows it wants to put on. These people’s free-dumb is being infringed upon gosh darnit. Teh gay will come through their TV sets like Poltergeist and force them to watch!

I thought these freaks were already boycotting ABC’s parent company (Disney) because the offer same-sex benefits to its employees?

What next, a double-secret boycott?
