My cable news network held compulsory sexual harrassment seminars this week. Everyone had to go, including "talent." We all thought it was the end of cursing, the crude jokes, and 3rd grade humor. Turns out everyone is making fun of the various "scenarios" and "role playing" exercises -- and thankfully the jokes go on. I'm all for being sensitive, but nearly everyone I've met who's spent any time at all working in television has a very high tolerance for such (mostly harmless) hijinks. If we were insurance adjustors it would be a different story. But this is television news. The raunch must go on!
