TV Has Surpassed Movies

[QuestioningMind]

A combination?

I don't see how PETA has the authority to cancel anything. They may have brought the death of the horses to the public's attention, but it was public backlash against how the show treated the horses that got the show cancelled.

PETA can apply public pressure.

PETA may have publicize the incident, but it was public pressure concerning what the program did to horses that got the show cancelled.

There ya go.

 

[QuestioningMind]

There ya go.

It seems a rather bizarre perspective to say that PETA got the show cancelled instead of acknowledging that it was the production company's inability to keep horses alive that got it cancelled.

PETA was the instigator.
A few horses died....big deal.
They're just low grade hamburger manufacturers.

Don't be silly... PETA didn't instigate anything. The instigators were the show's producers who decided to treat majestic horses as if they were nothing more than cheap hamburger meat. Only they discovered that most of the public is disgusted by the thought of majestic horses being killed for their entertainment and ended up getting themselves cancelled.

Rather sad that you don't think that those responsible should take any responsibility for the results of their actions. It wasn't THEIR fault... it's the fault of the entity that brought their abhorrent actions to light. It's kind of like a rapist claiming that the only one who did anything wrong was the evil person who witnessed the rape and tattled to the authorities.

Don't be sad.
I never said that, & don't believe that.

Pbbbttttt!
What a mischievous analogy.

Don't be sad.
I never said that, & don't believe that.

Sure you do... your very first reaction was to blame the messenger and not the people who committed the act.

Pbbbttttt!
What a mischievous analogy.

It's actually quite apt for someone who claims it was the messenger of the abuse that got the series cancelled and not the actions of the producers.

My claim is somewhat different from what you state.
And you link doesn't support this....
".....show's producers who decided to treat majestic horses as if they were nothing more than cheap hamburger meat."

Actually going to a theater and watching the annual Disney movie with my friends was a rite to me...as a kid.
I don't know...going to the movies is magical.

I simply used the term YOU chose to use to describe these animals. I could just as easily have said the show's producers decided to treat majestic horses as they were useful bags of meat. If you don't like it perhaps you should choose your words more carefully.

Attributing my words to them is mischievous.

Perhaps... but no more mischievous than you using the term in the first place.

I don't think I misrepresented anyone's views. I simply used the term you provided for describing how the show's producers viewed the horse's lives as nothing more than disposable commodities for the sake of entertainment.

That's not what I said.
Now you're misrepresenting both me & the show's staff.
Stop it.

I disagree. I think that what you said is a perfect representation of the show producers attitude.

 

[Revoltingest]

I like long lingering development of stories.
When done well, I just don't want it to end.
One series that epitomizes such TV kawality...

But some of the greatest moments are the most mundane.
Openings for each episode are wonderfully done...often
inscrutable at first, the significance slowly unfolding.
