No oversight, clearly. And PBS does NOT need this kind of PR. What on Earth were they thinking?Mark O.

Had it actually been funny it might have been interesting". Imagining it could have been funny in any way suggests you don't know anyone who has been sexually assaulted. Religion has nothing to do with finding this offending. Get some information about this before making insensitive comments.Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-19332608929096178912013-11-16T07:30:35.181-08:002013-11-16T07:30:35.181-08:00No problem.

Had it actually been funny it might have been interesting; and had it had some sharp point to make, it might have been interesting. The religious are tiresome with their taking of offence. We don't need to jump on that bandwagon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
