No! You Fool!
So, yeah. Apparently, ABC canned showing Saving Private Ryan on at least 20 affiliates out of fear that Michael Powell will come at them with a hatchet, despite the fact that the movie aired without a problem in 2001 and 2002.
Even more interesting, however (and by "interesting", I mean "absolutely spewworthy"), is the FCC's reaction to the first strike prevention of massive fines.
"Oh, we're not a culture of oppression, no, sir! Fear works just fine." Great; instead of puritans, we've got the Gestapo running the airwaves.
