I started to write an entry regarding why I think NBC made an awfully bad decision in airing the video of the VTech murderer.
Tim Sanders saved me the effort by posting his thoughts here. I especially like Tim’s call to action:
If you know any advertisers or ad agencies, email them this post and tell them to refuse to pay for ad impressions served against this tragedy. If you know anyone at a newspaper, a web portal or a television station/outlet, tell them how you feel. I’ve done the best I can, contacting Jerry Yang at Yahoo, execs at GE and even major sites like Huffington Post and MSN. Let’s make a difference right now and show that backlash can control the fifth estate.
I took Tim’s advice and called my local affiliate as well as NBC headquarters. Here’s NBC’s number: (212) 315-9016. As a P&G shareholder, I also let them have my two cents- here is Procter and Gamble’s shareholder services phone number: (800) 742-6253.

NBC created this monster and they are trying to create another one by playing his propaganda video over and over. All the victims’ families should join together in a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against NBC for wrongful death. You don’t believe it? Well, why did he sent his garbage to NBC? He knew that his propaganda would be shown by them because all he was really doing was mimicking their propaganda anyway. The Left says all us crackers deserve to die for what some moronic morons who lived 200 years ago did, and this guy just took that stupidity to it’s illogical conclusion. NBC is Cho’s father and ABC is his mother, and they are proud of their bastard child. Just turn on the TV and you can see their pride and joy.
