A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the upcoming reality show "Stars Earn Stripes". Now we have a group of Nobel Prize winners, including Desmond Tutu, who are urging NBC to cancel the show. This is part of what they say:
“It is our belief that this program pays homage to no one anywhere and continues and expands on an inglorious tradition of glorifying war and armed violence. Military training is not to be compared, subtly or otherwise, with athletic competition by showing commercials throughout the Olympics. Preparing for war is neither amusing nor entertaining.”
Perhaps NBC welcomes the publicity.
