So sorry

So sorry

: We’re in a sorry state of forever saying we’re sorry. And I’m sick of it.

Alessandra Stanley in the NY Times today is sick of the sorrys on TV: sorry for the Desperate Housewives promo, sorry for cutting off CSI, sorry for Janet Jackson, sorry for bad words in Saving Private Ryan. Enough.

Mark Cuban says saying sorry should be the new business model: TV is making money out of apologizing… and getting tons of attention for it.

What we should be doing is turning to the people who expect us to say sorry — the prigs and prudes and religious nutjobs and Michael Powell — and say: Sorry for what? Huh? I’m sorry you don’t like what I like; I’m sorry I’m not sorry; but I’m not.
