NBC To Sign Ex-Gov Blagojevich As Reality TV Star

Call me old fashioned, but I find this rather outrageously distasteful.

NBC wants to sign the ex-governor of Illinois and current indicted felony corruption defendant, Rod Blagojevich, to star on a reality TV show, "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here". He will be paid $80K per episode.

You know, corrupting our government by selling a US Senate seat is a very serious crime, and I don't like NBC making light of it. Senators make decisions that affect all of us. If Blagojevich were under indictment for treason, murder, child pornography, etc, I bet NBC wouldn't be so enthusiastic about him.

I found this link to express one's views to NBC, if anyone were so inclined.

Actually come to think of it, I think its more effective to contact NBC's parent company, GE. Right to their investor relations folks, I think.
