Supply and demand.

We're really that restricted here on the DIS now? Nothing even 'remotely political'? Would mentioning anyone who has said something political on TV count? Pretty much every person someone has posted on this list has said something political on TV. I guess it would make sense just to close the thread down then? (But I am a bit disturbed that the DIS is getting so overly controlling)
As a kid, it was always the president, no matter who it was - because in those days, no cable. When the president was on, the president was on EVERY channel.
I still hate almost every “breaking” interruption of “regular broadcast”, though I at least have options now.
There is a post at the top of this board. Most people know this rule, and based on history where some people have a hard time respecting that other people may not agree with them and go after them on various boards, or threads, even years after an opinion has been expressed.... we'd rather just avoid those types of topics because they cause so much disruption.
Don't mention political figures, please - past or present.

So we should tag/report any posts that mention a celebrity who has made a political statement or taken a political stand as well? Or is it just based on a political statement in the post? Thank you for posting the above link - but it is vague and really doesn't make it clear enough for me what exactly is not allowed. For example, if a celebrity has endorsed a certain candidate or politician, or has made a political statement about one, can we talk about the celebrity?

Agreed, but they are like watching a train wreck or a car accident. We all know we shouldn't look but that is easier said than done.
You may have missed it, but a poster made this thread directly political almost immediately. There was a rebuttal post, then the moderator intervened. She deleted the two posts then provided the warning. I thought she did an excellent job.
Armand Assante
Luckily he isn't on tv much any more. Every role he's ever been in has creeped me.
Yes indeed, I missed it. Thanks for providing this.You may have missed it, but a poster made this thread directly political almost immediately. There was a rebuttal post, then the moderator intervened. She deleted the two posts then provided the warning. I thought she did an excellent job.
This is so funny because it was his performance in Mambo Kings that turned me against him! He seemed so slimy to me in that movie.Adore him!
And miss him a lot. Especially loved him in The Mambo Kings, I think of some of those scenes to this day.
You think he's creepy. I think he's sexy as hell.
I couldn’t stand Miley Cyrus. However when she was on Jimmy Fallon for a week I realized how talented she is, and she’s changed her life. No more drugs, and she admits that she was on the wrong track and is thankful for cleaning it up. Everyone deserves a second chance.
