If it wasn’t much of a deterrent then it would happen more often.

I remember when Olympus has Fallen was hitting theaters, we broadcast the trailer with that sound. Soooo many flags went up in our control room, we ran it up the flagpole very quickly and pulled it off our server list, but the damage was done. Don’t mess around with the FCC.

They might, I honestly have no idea how their streaming metrics work.

I watch the series, yes, this is the reason why I watch, the series is incredibly bad.

But honestly it's not worth it

Would be better if the fine was per instance.

Few people actually understand how the world of business works lol.

Let’s talk about that - wtf is that all about? Why are we trying to own each other? Shouldn’t we be working together?

You’re reading WAY too much into that 1 line. I saw the whole show but haven’t read the books and had completely forgotten about that before you brought it up.

No idea how accurate the show is to the books (although Twitter seems to suggest it is) but the show itself is really good- never felt rushed at all and the exposition is really well done. All 3 leads are super likeable.

I know people are entitled to their opinions but this is really pushing it.

Dexter is an absolute masterpiece. Yes it is obvious that the fall absolutely took inspiration from dexter.

Yeah, I wish we would stop fining large corporations. Nullify their patents/trademarks or something like that instead. That might be a bit extreme in this case, but when large fines and maybe sending executives to jail are the worst punishments we give large corporations, it's insane that we think they'll learn any kind of lesson.

I've actually never seen Dexter. Is it similar to the Fall?

It happened in S3 rather than 1 or 2 but the producers of Monk fired Bitty Schram, who played Monk's assistant, in the middle of the season because she demanded a raise and IIRC to be billed as the co-lead of the show.

Here's a fictional demonstration.

The three distorted tones at the start and end of the messages are the issue.

They probably factored the fine into the cost while they were making said commercial.

Dark, The leftovers or any other complex shows.

Every time something like this happens I have to ask: Does anyone else remember a TV promo for 21 Days later that aired post 9/11 that began with the Emergency Alert sounds and CDC biohazard warnings?

I saw it only once during primetime and had nightmares about it for a month. Been looking for it ever since

Walter White and his own ego on Breaking Bad

Both of those shows a fuckin terrible

I mean, that show exists. They made it. They adapted the books.

I don't really see the need to re-adapt them.

Does anyone have a link to the sound? I couldn't find in the article and I'm not from US so I've never heard it.

Screeching tires on the radio is also illegal crazy that so many radio stations pull this crap

It is illegal to use sirens in radio ads but seemingly no one cares
