Rosie Goes Off&;theView
By encinoman
When commerce and opinion collide, guess who wins? I&;m not a Rosie O&;Donnell fan, and I don&;t think I&;ve ever watched a whole View.
But the Japanese have a saying, &;The nail that stands up gets pounded down.&; The producers and advertisers would probably have been fine if Rosie confined her comments to Donald Trump and American Idol, instead of dancing on the electrified third rail of World Trade Center conspiracy theories.
When boycott petitions lament the &;delightfully controversial&; pre-Rosie View, and the heat gets like this, ABC and the producers start looking for an exit to protect their investment.
