MY IDIOT NETWORK

Television network ABC has decided not to run the movie trailer for My Idiot Brother, which opens today. The Weinstein Company, producer of the film, was told by network officials in a memo that the following edits would have to be done before it could be aired on their network:

"Please remove the visual of the exchange of what is assumed to be drugs . . . Please remove the visual of the character using the juice box to depict urination . . . Please remove the references to getting high and smoking."

Really? REALLY?

So the network responsible for such high-brow and culturally-important programming as The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, Extreme Makeover (when it was a plastic surgery show), and How Hot Are You?, felt that juice box urination simulation was too much for their seemingly bookish sensibilities?

At least they said "Please," right?

So ridiculous.
