Well, god damn it.

All I wanted to do, all I wanted to do, was watch the White Collar marathon. I happen to like that show. So why on earth did they have to dirty it up with a commercial for Autism Speaks? The only good thing I can say about it is they seem to have learned a little, and it wasn't quite as blatantly offensive as their little videos. Still and all, you don't want to know what it was I said.

To whom do I write to remedy this, and did I ever get myself a form letter on this subject? (No, no, I did not. I should do that.)

For some reason, it made me think of you. :)

I weep for the future of this world, just so you know.

Well, there's USA Network for starters. And the producer of White Collar is named Jeff Eastin, if that helps.

Write to the sponsors and tell them you're never going to buy their miserable soap (or whatever) again as long as you live. Seriously a boycott list needs to be made of companies that support Autism Spews. Like we won't buy Lindt chocolate any more.

Writing to the network, the producers et al., you're likely to just get a note back saying thank you for watching. This isn't to say that you shouldn't write to them, you should, but keep in mind that mostly they care about whether you were watching or not. You could tell them you turned it off, never going to watch it again, etc. The sponsors are the important part though.

Thought you might appreciate someone defacing an Autism Speaks billboard.
