Sticks and Stones



While the controversies over the use of the "n" and the "f" words continue to gain mainstream press coverage, apparently, there are a few other offenses that are being dished out; did you miss them?


A commercial being shot for the SuperBowl was scrapped after people complained about the content; apparently, the use of K-Fed as a fast-food employee was perceived as such a slam against the thousands of those who actually make a living in the industry, that the ad has been killed. When your image becomes so synonymous with "loser" that people balk at you depicting them, that's got to hurt! I wonder if K-Fed could get away with being cast as a car dealer?


But what's even crueler is the following:

"A Fox News spokeswoman, Irena Briganti, said CNN was mainly looking for publicity in attacking its higher-rated rival. Of Mr. Cooper’s comment, she said, “Yet another cry for attention by the Paris Hilton of television news, Anderson Cooper.”


OUCH!!!
