arrow SciFi Pulls Schwarzeneggar Films - Will Show CA Disaster Films Instead
Here's something that caused me to laugh out loud when I read it:


http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...fornia_tv_dc_4

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "The Running Man" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be running any time soon on Sci Fi channel.

The cable TV network said on Thursday it was pulling an entire night of Schwarzenegger programming featuring three of his films including "Running Man" and "Conan The Destroyer" on Aug. 24, becoming the second cable network in two days to take his movies off air.

Schwarzenegger is one of 135 candidates running for governor of California in a recall election scheduled for Oct. 7.

Sci Fi, owned by Vivendi Universal, will instead offer viewers a slate of California-themed disaster movies.

"We're pulling our Arnold marathon in deference to the electoral process. We wanted to level the playing field in California," said Kat Stein, a spokeswoman for Sci Fi.

One day earlier, FX, owned by News Corp., said it had decided to pull Schwarzenegger flicks from its line-up until after the political situation was resolved.

Vivendi is kinda disturbing, they seem to secretly own everything.

'level the playing field'

Reminded me of a political cartoon I saw today: Shows that the State of California finally fell into the Pacific Ocean as some have predicted.

Neighbor from Nevada says, "That took care of a lot of problems."
