A very smelly deal around a very smelly show. I'll bet AOL gets some sort of "promotional" exchange (i.e., some sort of funny-accounting exchange) from its joint-venture partner Trib in lieu of cash. As it is, Trib gets damaged goods: a show it can't air in the raw because it fears ASWIA would object (and given what its members sponsor, from The Osama Channel to God-knows-what in prime time, there's no worry of that). Was there ever better proof all these TV idiots can do is shuffle the rubble, and call it "programming"?
