Apparently NBC had to apologize for several references in the Thursday episode, including Kramer's setting of the flag on fire and stomping it out as well as a reference he made in the show about "this kind of stuff happens every day in Puerto Rico". Not quite the glowing publicity they would have liked going into the last show.

GOD DAMNIT MOTHERFUCKERS .. YO DONT WATCH THE SHOW. HE DIDNT SAY THAT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ABOUT THE FLAG OR MOB. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE PARADE AND FESTIVITOES AND ATTITUDE.. IT WAS A FUCKING COMPLIMENT AND YOU ARE ALL WHINING ABOUT IT. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SHIT TO LINK TO THE FLAG EVEN THOUGH IT DIDNT REALLY HAPPEN. King Pineapple wrote in message ...

MISS MIRSKY WAS SADDENED WHEN HER DEBUT IN THE STANDS WAS MARRED BY THE WHINING OF THE PUERTO RICANS WHO CANT TAKE A JOKE, BUT THEY CAN TAKE OUR WELFARE-AND BOY DO THEY TAKE IT!!!

LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON SAID TO ALL HIS PUERTO RICAN FANS, "IF YOU DON'T LIKE CRYING, DONT HAVE A BABY!!!"

ROBIN MIRSKY SAYS SHE WILL NEVER APPEAR ON ANOTHER SHOW WITH A PUERTO RICAN AGAIN!!!

Any publicity can be good publicity. ABC didn't care if you hated Howard Cosell or if you loved him, just that you watched MNF.

By the way, apologies are demanded from NBC, the producers, the writers and Seinfeld himself. Interesting to see people's "takes" on this issue versus Native Americans and the nicknames of sports teams.

Redskins, Braves, I can't believe the St. John's Redmen bowed to the pressure. Now they're the Red Storm. How queer is that?

Anyway, I absolutely love it when voluntarily indignant folks get all worked up and offended about TV stuff. I laughed my ass off when I saw the Puerto Rican guy complaining on the news.
