on TV and radio people can switch channels.that's really your choice as well.exercise at your discretion.i urge you to get over it.how about this adage'the issue is more important than the insult' or if you can't beat'em join 'em.or better yet look before you leap,hm?

my boyhood hero,no not tho
Tomorrow January 6 is the birthday of Sherlock Holmes the greatest detective who ever lived, an event celebrated by various Sherlock Holmes societies. (Would it surprise you to know that there are more than 400 of them, with more than 10,000 members worldwide?) The event will be recognized around the globe, most notably by the first and largest such group, The Baker Street Irregulars.
Drawing its name from the street urchins Holmes occasionally employed to help in investigations, the BSI has numbered among its members former presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S Truman, any number of prominent lawyers and doctors, a former president of U.S. Steel, a former vice president of General Motors, the Marquis of Donegall, and such noted authors as Rex Stout, Isaac Asimov, Vincent Starrett, Christopher Morley, Alexander Woolcott, Ellery Queen, and sportswriter Red Smith.
The BSI began with a small handful of Holmesian scholars and aficionados in 1934, when they met for food, drink (to be sure), and convivial conversation about the Master. Woolcott arrived, in his usual understated fashion, in a hansom cab, wearing an Inverness cape and a deerstalker hat, the attire in which Holmes is so frequently (if inaccurately, as this is country garb no gentleman would ever wear in the city) depicted. The organization meets each January on the Friday closest to Holmes's birthday.
