Post If you worked for N@N/Controversial Eps.

If you worked for N@N and were given
the choice to not air one controversial
episode, which episode would you NOT air
and why?

At the risk of sounding rude, if I worked for N@N I'd quit!

....I've said that before.

Probably dope........ it just shows people condoning drugs. Yes there is a flip side to the episode, as in someone saying no. But it wasn't an amazing episode anyway.

I would pick fear strikes back...... i think young people should be aware that bad thinks can happen in this world and learn how to protect themselves against assult,rape, and any kind of violent acts.

I would air dope. It was funny and it kinda shocked me to see the image of someone light up on national TV considering this was 1980. I would air them all.

I'd say Fear Strikes Back, it was such a great episode.

This is coming from someone who hasn't seen any of the eps, but if I didn't show one ep it would prolly be Dope. That's cuz it's s'posed to show them actually doin' drugs. Now I for one want to see this ep really bad, but I think this is the only ep that might actually spark controversy.

I'm just wondering, but was your statement aimed at me? I don't know, that's why I'm asking.

If I worked for N@N, I would give them all sleeping pills and have a 24 hour marathon of every single episode in order. Then I would lock them out of the building and do it again.

Talking

The controversial episode I would put on is READY OR NOT because it is not harmful or hardly controversial and it teaches about safe sex.

The episode I would not show would probably be DOPE. I don't have a reason yet.

You didn't offend me, but I was just
wondering if the statement, "this is coming from someone who hasn't seen any
of the eps", was directed towards me. A
person can take that statement either
as an insult or the person who wrote it
was talking about themself, I just wanted
to make sure, that's all. I wasn't offended by it. I hope I didn't make you
upset when I asked that!

I had to read that a few times to understand what you meant, but now I get it. I meant that I haven't seen any of the controversial eps. I wasn't referring to you at all
