Maybe they should get some CBS executives working at FEMA http://www.snopes.com/politics/katrina/priceright.asp
<quote> The timing of the broadcast, with its unusual prize offering, was merely unfortunate coindence, however: the episode was a repeat of one first shown in December 2004. Network executives caught on and pulled the episode before it aired in the Pacific time zone, but only after it had already run on stations in the Eastern, Central, and Mountain time zones. Said CBS spokeswoman Beth Haiken of the incident: Trips to New Orleans are frequently offered as travel prizes on The Price Is Right. Out of consideration for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, we made every effort to pull all repeat episodes from circulation that feature trips to New Orleans. However, this one episode was unfortunately overlooked - and the content of all other episodes scheduled for rebroadcast has been carefully reviewed to prevent this from recurring. Our thoughts and prayers are with the brave citizens of the Gulf Coast. </quote> Immediate corrective action, a sincere appology and publicly stated corrective action to prevent future occurances. Ok, not on the scale as the huricane problems, but I think the same steps apply. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run.
