I kinda hate it when people go around pointing out logical fallacies but gotdamn, fool. I don't know the extent of your dealings with out-of-towners but there's a predictable national reaction to stories like these. Laughter and disgust generally.

I will admit that I don't know much about much, but I have a feeling that my 10,000+ customer base that was 99% out of state, who would constantly tell me how lucky I was to live in Utah, never laughed or expressed disgust. At most, I got the age old questions about how many wives I had. Granted, these were customers of my fly shop who often traveled thousands of miles to fish the Green River, visit our Parks, and see Temple Square. But I'm sure you're totally right, we're the laughing stock of the Union.

Banning SNL is just completely stupid. What's their rationale for that one?

I'm assuming this? Which is silly.

Well, you see, I thought I was simply responding to your statement:

You never actually asked what the extent of my dealings with out-of-towners was, but I figured my nine years of doing business with out-of-towners gave me more than just a leg to stand on. You call it an "irrefutable personal anecdote", while I call it informed, realistic, and relevant. To be fair, I don't know the extent of your dealings with out-of-towners, but there's a predictable "OMG, the LSD's ruin EVERYTHING and the world laughs at us!!1" reaction from rectal-injured tools who love to blame the cause of their pathetic woe on anything other than themselves.

How about you enlighten us all on how you came to the knowledge of the world's reaction to stories like these -- you know, the laughter and disgust? I bet it's much more powerful than my silly little personal anecdote. Thanks in advance, Julie. God Bless.

this statement is mature, inoffensive, and completely accurate. the most pathetic bunch are the women, homosexuals, and other minorities am i right?

well i read the stories and the reactions to them usually. they are readily available at your fingertips. some topics you may want to look into: anytime KSL bans a show (this, SNL, The New Normal, The Playboy Club, maybe others?), Prop 8 in California, Gays in the Boy Scouts, the 2012 Presidential Election, Utah liquor laws, the LDS feminist movement, the Equal Rights Amendment.
 
Ill never understand the hang up people have with the tv. If you don't like what's on then what's forcing you to watch? I can honestly say I've never watched a full episode of the garbage on tv like 2 1/2 men, Big Bang theory, and most of the repetitive cop shows on between 6-9pm. Other than castle and sports, I never watch the crap on tv. That's why I have Netflix and all the Seinfeld episodes. You don't see me demanding that ksl change their programming for me. I believe in the use of "free agency." Hence, I use my agency to watch Netflix instead of the crap on tv.

Better yet, sometimes I read. It's amazing what those paper things known as buks... no thats not it... bocks? nope... ummm boks? no... oh i got it, "books" can teach you. And they can be far more entertaining than anything on tv. Anyone heard of Sherlock Holmes? Amazing stories!

Awesome show! Channel 5 at 9pm Thursdays.
 
I've only read a couple pages of this thread but KSL is a business and as such looks to profit. If people are complaining and their target demographic is not watching the programming then they have no obligation to continue to miss out on better advertising revenue. Businesses cater to their market.

SNL rates relatively well in Salt Lake, with a 4 household rating/10 share on KUCW in last May’s sweeps, and a healthy 4 rating in adults 25-54. KSL’s sports shows in the same slot averaged a 3 household rating/6 share.
