not related to TV... but the name Jesse Helms triggered a memory. Back in late 80's or early 90's I was involved in USENET text discussions. One extremely popular newsgroup was alt.sex. Someone created a literature contest called the Jesse Helms Erotic Literature Contest where the content of the stories could only be things that Mr. Helms would approve of. I thought the idea was hilarious.
.... a quick search only gives me this page to prove my memory isn't crazy. http://www.asstr.org/~JournalofDesire/v3n1/FranzKafka-BackInTime-SBDouglass.html On Sun, Nov 13, 2016 at 7:19 PM, stannc <[email protected]> wrote: > The first story has the details: > > WRAL censors ‘Saturday Night Live’ episode with Dave Chappelle > http://www.newsobserver.com/entertainment/tv/warm-tv-blog/ > article114508293.html > > But WRAL is taking a beating on the internet over this, so they've decided > to "take a look at its policy" > > WRAL-TV and SNL > http://wral.com/16232306 > > WRAL is historically the station where Jesse Helms used to do on-air > editorials, and was a CBS affiliate until earlier this year. > > They're not used to love entertainment. > > > -- > -- > TV or Not TV ....
