Citing its policy barring ads dealing with "public controversy," the NBC network said on Friday it rejected a TV commercial for a new film documenting the furor over the Dixie Chicks' criticism of President George W. Bush.

The ad features footage of lead singer Natalie Maines declaring during a London concert in March 2003 that the band was "ashamed" to come from the same state -- Texas -- as Bush.

Since when has being ashamed of the president been "controversial?"

Check out the trailer for this interesting documentary here.

Hey. One thing I've learned in all these years is not to make love when you really don't feel it; there's probably nothing worse you can do to yourself than that.
I am from Canada and learning to read in English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: "People tend to write clich; and banal sentences that mostly state that they want to be challenged."

Thank you very much :-(. Jerry.
