about how to contact the sponsors of the NBC Mysterious Origins of Man (I
guess we have the origins of women figured out!).
>
You may also contact NBC directly <online@nbc.com>.
>
On Martians, I guess I overlooked that part of the program -- Maybe I
thought it was a promo for "Third Rock From the Sun!"

>>Scientists in general should be appalled at the Sunday program aired on NBC
>>TV "The mysterious origins of man". This was a sham. While I and the
>>others in evolutionary biology and paleontology have no problem with NBC
>>airing the program as science fiction, storytelling, or whatever, it was
>>clearly not science. It should have been so labelled and introduced. This
>>was a clear case of irresponsible broadcasting that distorts and
>>misinformed the American public about what science is and how science is
>>done.
>>
>>Since Sunday, I have attempted to get a response from NBC, its San
>>Francisco affiliate KRON-TV, or the producers without results. The best
>>seems to be that NBC Network is not responsible for content and its
>>affiliates pass it back to the network. Several respondents suggested that
>>the TV media cares not a damn about our's or anyone else's opinions, only
>>ratings and money. So . . .
>>
>>Perhaps their sponsors will care. The sponsors of this poor program with
>>their contacts are listed below, courtesy of Mason B. Meers. If others
>>know of other local sponsors, please forward that information as well. If
>>you write them to object, it would seem to be consistent not to buy their
>>products either.
>>
>>To quote one emailer: "What I find most ironic is that affiliates and
>>sponsors get involved with "obscenity" during prime-time, attempting to
>>shield children from violence and sex on television. The type of
>>deliberate, fraudulent misinformation broadcast Sunday evening seems far
>>more obscene than sex or violence." Couldn't be said better!!
