I’m a sports fan. Not to the extent that I’ll paint my face or assault someone because they’re wearing a rival jersey, but I understand rooting for a favorite team. I just can’t see taking it to the extreme that superfan Susan Finkelstein did. Susan Finkelstein, 44, is currently on trial in Pennsylvania for attempting [...]
The Parents Television Council is threatening to declare war on CW Television Network affiliates who broadcast next week’s Very Special Threesome episode of Gossip Girl.
