After reading this I'd like DUers to contact ABC at

Mailing Address:
ABC, Inc.
500 S. Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521-4551
Phone number: (818) 460-7477

For ABC's Primetime and Daytime shows, as well as our Movies and Specials and ABC Sports: Audience Relations Department at netaudr@abc.com

And demand that they reinstate the censored Robin Williams skit ! Let Williams know that behind every great comedian is a deranged, but very loyal, audience that numbers in the millions !

1. Fight back? Just don't watch the program!!!
We keep loving to hate the media but we watch everything the corporate media throws out there. Nothing will change until we do.

3. I've given up all TV that has no relevance to my life...
except an occasional movie.

I've never seen Lost, American Idol, Fear Factor, CSI and most of the sitcoms. I watched The Apprentice and Desperate Housewives a couple of times, but I just can't bring myself to make a 1-hour commitment to such drivel. I haven't watched any of the award shows in 3 or 4 years.

I DO realize that a good part of what is broadcast as "news" is crap as well. But I still watch the "news", mainly for local information, and to see what is or isn't being said about various other issues, but not as my main source of news information.

Okay, I confess - I'm completely addicted to Queer Eye!

2. Robin Williams should boycott the Oscars
as a matter of principle.

5. Will ABC censor Carlos Santana, too?
Carlos will be performing. He arrived wearing a Che Guevara shirt. Think he'll be wearing it during the performance?

6. I don't watch ABC but I sent this
Hello,

When you censor an artist for political reasons you are un- American in the extreme.
censoring Robin Williams will cost you viewers. Take me for example I will no longer tune in to ABC.

I will encourage my friends, family, & colleagues to do like wise.

Sincerely

The only thing I watch on TV is The Daily Show & Trailer Park Boys
to help preserve my Sanity. :)
