I'm spreading a meme around. Wanna help?

If ABC doesn't do something about Roseanne Barr, ABC IS Roseanne Barr.

If there are NO consequences for crap like this, it WILL continue. This has to become a cautionary tale - if you indulge this reprehensible stuff, you WILL pay a price.

It's one of those - patient: "doctor, it hurts when I do this." Doctor: "well then don't do that!"
