New Jersey Online: Q104.3

Variety.com: Wolf Pounds Peacock for Axing “Law” Seg
Translated from VarietySpeak, “Law & Order” producer Dick Wolf is furious with NBC because they have removed Wednesday’s episode from the library of episodes to be rerun.
Anyone who has ever watched “L&O” knows that their storylines are generally ripped right from the papers – and this particular episode touched on the horriffic Puerto Rican Day wilding attacks. Apparently this episode hit too close to home.
“In a statement, NBC apologized for ‘offending members of the Latino community.'”
[RANT] I like to think I’m a pretty tolerant guy, and I try to respect all cultures and their beliefs…but maybe the Latino community should be offended by the actions of their own people, and not by a television show. Dick Wolf was just turning the mirror to them, and they didn’t like what they saw. That’s no reason for censorship. [/RANT]

I guess the British press are between government scandals at the moment, if this story made the BBC’s main page.
To be fair, though…she has got some long legs…take a look…
