Another reason why I hate FX...the Smallpox Movie Commercial

[x635 4,066]

Well, except for the Cops re-runs, and Married with Children, I hate the FX cable channel. Same goes for Fox TV (with the exception of Fox News). I feel they are very unethical and will show anything/degrate/exploit anything in the name of ratings. Like how they are basically trashing firefighters in the show "Rescue Me"

So, they are advertising for a "FX Original Movie" tonight. It's called "Smallpox" and it's regarding a smallpox outbreak in a urban area. At the end of the commercial, they show words on the screen and the announcer says (in regards to a smallpox outbreak and the movie)"It's all true.....it just hasn't happened.....yet".

Now, I don't think it's very nice, the premise of the movie. But it is a movie. I take issue with that last line in the commercial. You're really going to freak some people out with the movie already, is it neccasary to put that line in? Thats just messed up IMO.

That's pretty f-ed up. Nothing like adding a bit of hysteria to the New Year to kick start it into gear.

Yeah, but it might wake people up and make them realize the magnitude of the problems and potential problems we face. Maybe then people won't be so quick to be frugal with funds for thier local Emergency Services.

To quote one of my favorite Stat-Flight pilots,

"Small Pox don't bother me, it's the Big pox."
