Remember the PTC?
Thanks to the thread in Discussion forum, I was looking around on their site for a laugh or two. Found this:
http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/familyguide/weekly.asp Friday Night Smackdown! Is listed as "Not yet rated by the PTC." Ignoring the fact that Numb3rs, which deals with very violent crimes sometimes, is rated the same way as America's Funniest Home Videos, the fact that the guys who were campaigning to get rid of WWF/E's programming (and inevitably leading to the Right to Censor) don't have ANYTHING to say about the show makes me chuckle a little. There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year olds life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.--John Rogers |

When SmackDown was getting huge ratings it was the worse thing on television, and now that the viewing audience has moved on it's amazing how suddenly it just doesn't seem that bad anymore...
Actually that's not entirly fair, WWE has nerf'd itself and lost the edgy characters and angles in many ways...though I would imagine it wouldn't take but a few minutes of a JBL promo before they could find something to get mad at. |

Are you sure you don't mean the lame stable with Steven Richards and the Goodfather?

That stable and the whole idea of the RTC in general had SOOO much potential. It makes me sad it didn't get pushed as hard as it did.Although that music was just... BAD! |

Although it does sound kinda retarded, if your trying to make fun of the grammer then yeah, it makes sense. It's a shame they weren't pushed more. Could be another way to say it. And if it doesn't make sense them umm... fuck you!

They're like the WWFund. Opportunists at the best. WWE is mostly a shadow of its former self now, not drawing in the kind of money and ratings it used to... so the PTC is like, "uh, does this show exist?"
This isn't 100% surprising, but it is funny. |

LOL. I love how people use every opportunity to attack the WWF. Please kids, don't eat paint chips.

As for the PTC, it's largely the same shit. Though there were no suits between PTC and WWE, PTC only seemed to find an excuse to levy their idiocy on WWE when WWE was the "hot shit" on TV. Now that WWE has moved further away from that status, PTC couldn't care very much. If WWE ever gets back to its 1998-2001 "run" on TV, yanking all this advertising money for whatever station it's on, maybe the PTC will find the time to "rate" them again. |

Paint Chip Point #1: They had an established agreement. The WWF could have sued at any time, yes, but had no reason to. Of course, come to the Attitude Era, and WWE was becoming more shocking, and The WWF felt that their good-faith agreement was being shat upon. Before suing, WWF tried to work it out with them. Paint Chip Point #2: There was a bona fide attempt at resolution. Further, Vince McMahon offered them money to change their name. They declined. Paint Chip Point #3: It wasn't about the money. WWE was only hit for "damages"after refusal to comply, fuckwit. Every step of the way, this was because of Vince's ego and drive to drop an F-U on the other guy. This wasn't opportunism, it's not comparable, and you are posting totally misinformed on the nature of this, like so many of the fucktards who just go ZOMG THE PANDAS ARE GREEDY! And went with what they had heard from some other paint-eating knuckle-scraper. Hell, let's apply Occam's Razor. If this was about money, why did WWF not sue during the Hulkamania Era? Why enter into a good faith agreement instead? Oh, wait, they wouldn't. That makes no sense at all, especially when they could have made money off some sort of real financial arrangement. They would be comparable if:
