I don't know the rules involved, but if they can get away with that, a red band trailer shouldn't cause anybody to even bat an eye. Cable channels don't fall under FCC content regulations; the main reason they have content standards is for the benefit of their advertisers (so the advertisers have some concept of what their commercials are going to be associated with). I'm assuming the trailer filled an entire commercial break -- or at least only ran in the same break as Comedy Central promos -- so there were no other advertisers appearing right next to it. -- Jim Ellwanger train...@ellwanger.tv http://www.ellwanger.tv -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

Language was the only thing that would garner a restricted classification. The language wouldn't ordinarily have run unbleeped on a Comedy Central program.Have red band trailers been playing on TV late at night, and I'm just late to the party?David -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

I remember seeing a red band trailer for Not Another Teen Movie leaked during my college days, mostly for language and Cerina Vincent's boobs. ~D -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!
