Schwarzenegger films would trigger FCC equal time rule
The airing of “Total Recall” or another Schwarzenegger film, or a repeat of a “Diff’rent Strokes” episode with Gary Coleman on broadcast television in California would trigger the Federal Communications Commission’s equal time provision, allowing other candidates to demand the same amount of time.
Cable channels are not covered by the FCC rule, which in the past kept reruns of “Death Valley Days” off the air while Ronald Reagan ran for president. A repeat of a “Saturday Night Live” episode featuring Don Novello, aka Father Guido Sarducci, on cable, for instance, would not trigger the provision.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read that right. Ahhhhnold, Gary Coleman, and now Father Guido Sarducci are all in the California Recall election.
I’ve come to the conclusion that making shit up is useless when reality steals all the best punchlines.
Does anyone know who the actual politician candidates are? I feel bad for the people in California. I mean, how do you realistically choose from HUNDREDS of candidates. You kind of have to just follow the ones who get the media attention, because how the hell else would you know who to vote for? I can’t even imagine what the voting booth will look like on election day…
