'Survivor' producers hatch dangerous idea

Racism is a danger that has plagued America throughout its existence. And now CBS is promoting "War of the Races" on "Survivor"! This has to be the most hateful and evil act by a television network. This is not acceptable in our society today.

Racism is defined as the act of separating groups according to racial categories, which is exactly what CBS is promoting. How dare they?
What were the producers thinking? What if there are serious consequences? It would give me nothing but pleasure if their sponsors backed out. I certainly will not be patronizing CBS and its sponsors.

Nothing is more dangerous than a big idea in a small mind.

from a promotional point of view, they achieved their objective. lets call this the Howard Stern theory. it'll be watched by people that love it. It'll be watched by more people that hate it so they can find more things to hate about it.

Let's just call it
"The Vernon Robinson Version of Survivor"
as it pits one group against another for someone's (CBS)gain.

Dont worry, Dot Kearns is going to make a guest appearance in the middle of the show.
She will solve everything.

Who cares what is on Survivor??? The participants do so willingly and they will have tons of folks wanting to be on the show. Let's stop giving them free advertisement. No more letters to the editor, PLEASE.

The Hispanics will win the swimming and boat rowing events.

Whites won't try to win anything as they will be ridden with guilt if they do.

Oh, you're talking about Survivor. I thought you were talking about the Olympics for a minute there.
