perfidy

In a stunningly unprecedented display of laughtastic corporate involution, Fox News was all set to sue The Simpsons-- on the Fox TV network-- over an upcoming segment on the show that parodies Fox News.

*covers face with hands, shakes head*

The Fox News Network did back down on its threat, although it has told The Simpsons creators that in the future, cartoon series will not be allowed to include a "news crawl" along the bottom of the screen, which might "confuse the viewers".

So tell me: just how stupid does Fox News think its viewers are?

[wik] So I wonder what Justice Scalia thinks about fox-on-fox action. *ducks*

[alsø wik] One more time. A news crawl on a cartoon show might confuse viewers?

[alsø alsø wik] They really think that?

[starring] Really?
