I can partially understand your point; your interpretation of the article is that it is a bunch of bovine feces; I'll honor/respect that opinion. But just because you don't like the article, doesn't mean that others should be prevented from commenting on it. For example:

Um, why is a TV show worth posting to FR? And at that, why an article that is simply PR hype?...Articles like this are make believe. This is all for show and for advertising...I never said I want to see this thread pulled. I'd say I'd like to see them not posted because it is weird for FR. Pulled, no. You miss my whole point. An article about this show might be approriate. This is just a PR placed article that is essentially make believe.

I've seen articles on Free Republic that are much more "weird" than this one; for example, the article/thread on Johnny Rotten appearing in a reality show. To me Johnny Rotten is weird, but that shouldn't stop others from posting the thread (you posted a comment on this thread). Or consider the "Streakers in restaurant watch as their car is stolen" thread; that may be weird to others, but your comment was that it was "funny". My point: if you don't like something, don't bother to read it. But also don't condemn others for wanting to post or read it.

The subject got changed to being defensive and attacking me.

Well, your very first post on this thread was the sarcastic statement of "You a network ad exec?". YOU set the tone for the replies made to you.

The deal is, though, why is this at FR? This and myriad other nonsense posts. There are many posts like this and I feel the same about all of them. FR didn't used to have such showbizzy gossip nonsense. It's fine for TV Guide chat room.

Like I said; no one has a gun to your head, forcing you to read the thread. If you don't like it, just move on.

BTW, I don't see your name on the list of donors. Do you contribute to Free Republic? If not, then don't bother to comment on the threads that are posted.

If not, then don't bother to comment on the threads that are posted.

I meant to say "if not, then don't bother to criticize which threads are worthy of being posted"

Yeah. I can't and have no desire to post to all of them about their superficiality. Nor do the many others who feel as I do.

This thread was random.

You are very new here so you do not really understand what I'm talking about or the concern or comment.

And you are moving in to highly inappropriate territory. You should know that, shouldn't you.
