That may be the silliest thing that I've ever heard. Way to go, England!! A prime example of "holier than thou" crap! Here's another: 1968: Petula Clark's first (and only) TV special, entitled simply Petula, airs on NBC, featuring guest star Harry Belafonte performing a duet on an antiwar song she'd written called "On The Path Of Glory." During taping, Clark had reached out to touch Belafonte's arm in a spontaneous gesture, causing the show's sponsor Chrysler to protest, fearing the interracial contact would upset viewers in the American south. As a result, the show is infamous even before it airs: Petula and the show's executive producer, her husband Claude Wolff, respond to the pressure by having all other takes of the duet destroyed so that the gesture would have to be aired. It was, historically, the first interracial contact to be broadcast on American television. Kudos to Petula and her husband for the way they thumbed their nose at the NBC Powers that Be, and as far as NBC goes, I guess they've been A-holes for a long time! |
