Fair Warning

Filed under: Entertainment |

What are people bitching about here? The London terrorist attacks occured on 7/7. Across the Pond that same evening, UPN and World Wrestling Entertainment aired “WWE Smackdown” and ran the following warning scroll four times throughout the program:

“In light of today’s tragic events in London, parental discretion is advised in viewing this episode.”

Looks like an unnamed group is still companing about the events depicted on the show, which involve two Arab-American Bad Guy wrestlers, Daivari and Muhammad Hassan. Gee I wonder who could it be. CAIR, perhaps?
Well then, if you don’t want Arabs and/or Muslims to be depicted “in a bad light,” don’t bitch to UPN and WWE...bitch to those wrestlers themselves for appearing on the show. THEY signed the contract! Besides, no one complained back in the 70s and 80s when The Iron Sheik was a Bad Guy on the old WWF circuit! So STFU already!

Macker, is it me… or is there something wrong with your web site?

Yes there is. I’ll have to look into this when I get home tonight. I tried to install some plugins, they didn’t work, and I removed them. Now there’s this. Thanks for the heads up.
