Who would sponsor Spike Lee's Katrina film if it was on TV?
I just saw the scene with the t-shirt that said: "Katrina evacuation plan: Run Motherfucker, run" Seems like an obvious tie-in for Nike. Any others?

1. I think
any of the affiliates would jump on it, like abc,nbc, cbs...I'm inclined to think Nbc would be the first to go after it....

2. It sure as hell wouldn't be
Allstate or State Farm Insurance!

Man, they were skewered, and rightfully so!

Hmm- that's a good question.

3. HBO was worth it this month
It's the kind of film that should be seen by everyone but could never be shown on network TV since most advertisers would run like hell from its conclusions about our society

5. Ask any of your friends with HBO to tape it
It really is one of the most powerful and moving things I've seen

6. Remember, Bill Maher is coming back

this Friday, August 25th.

That's another good reason to keep HBO!
