    I just thought I'd remind us of all the hubbub when the transparent FOX
    logo first hit the scene. I should've made a bet with the author of the following article, which I reproduce in its entirety.

    I'd be surprised if Fox didn't listen to them a WHOLE lot more
    seriously than to the lowly viewers who pay them nothing.

    The advertisers will have nothing against the logo. It's what
    helps them to determine what shows get higher ratings. As I said
    in an earlier posting the logo is only because of sweeps month.
    I can almost assure you it will be gone by the end of May.
    Don't freak out, it's only TV.
