NBC apologizes to Puerto Rican community for last nights episode in NY

This may have been brought up already, but NBC was prompted to apologize to the Puerto Rican community for last night's show. Bronx borough president Fernando Ferrar complained about the flag burning scene, and about the scene in which several Puerto Ricans destroyed Jerry's car. I'm not kidding.

Fernando

And they DID. Mr. Dennis Swanson, president and general manager of WNBC: "'The stereotypes were, I thought, disgusting," Swanson said. 'You just don't burn somebody's flag. ... I thought it was in poor taste. ... I just think it was just insensitive to the Puerto Rican community.'" -- From The Daily News (NYC), 5/9/98, p.5, columns 3,4.

Thank you Mr. Swanson.

And the whole time Dennis Swanson was paying lip service, he was probably getting high fives from the rest of the NBC execs. Do you really think they care? It's a ratings game, and NBC is leading by 20 pts. in the 4th quarter.

What exactly does that mean? ;)

In the episode The Betrayal, George used that expression many times and then in the flashback to two years earlier we heard Susan say it to George.

So it has become one of the Seinfeld responses in the newsgroup anytime someone says 'sorry'.

Oh...I know..I was using a Jerry line that he used in his response when George "You can stuff your sorry in a sack, mister!"
