If it's Sunday it must be Big Double-A-Scribble Time:

1. Double-A is excited because TV types are successfully working more swear words into their programming. The flip side is GE BANCORP NETWORK had to get Jut-Jaw Jay to fill in the 10 p. m. hour five nights a week, putatively to save money -- but the 10 p. m. space has become a broadcasting dead zone. Did all of those curse words in the time period contribute? Are TV executives ever wrong?

2. We still cringe over what happened to Domino's because it was zero percent at fault. But we must concede no-brains like the two (we would use a certain eight-letter compound word to describe them here, but we try to be a profanity-free zone) may not be untypical of who works for the fast-fooders. These two (just read what I said before), indeed, may have been unlucky for accidentally exposing a closely guarded industry secret. That said, we're certain food tampering is extremely rare, and that fast-food firms do try their best to serve a wholesome product, but so many things in the industry work against it, like low wages and high turnover. This will not cease.

We might add the more broadcasters and their sugar daddies on MadAve work coarseness into their programming, the more they work it into our lives -- something these idiots will deny to the day they die and go to Hell.

3. No, "Brand Google" is not in trouble so long as the Wall Street Casino believes it can cure every financial ill by being a growth stock, increasing evidence to the contrary regardless.

4. The latest fad in marketing: green. If it's so good why does it have to be another buzzword-promoted premium-priced fad?

[A] vast majority of consumers said they believe green products cost more and don't perform as well as others.

That should kill this latest one.
