It's almost like that.
That's kind of a dramatic version of it, but it's not unlike that.
It's usually lawyers, and they will quote the letter of the law of the FCC, and they will tell you that they feel you're getting too close to that line.
At CBS, they were real conservative about that.
They wouldn't even allow stunts, things that were off air.
They were concerned about risks.
I wanted to do a bit during the swine flu where we were going to walk a pig up Times Square wearing a mask and our logo on the side.
And the lawyers shut that down really fast because they said, oh, my goodness, we could get sued.
If somebody if there's a riot, we'll get sued and we'll lose our license.
That wasn't that long ago.
That was 2012.

I believe that's the case, honestly.

Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.
