80s weekend
Gosh darn it, group forces TV Land to change weekend plans

This one belongs in the "You've Got To Be Kidding Me" file.
This weekend, TV Land has an event devoted to movies (Footloose, Flashdance, Say Anything, etc) and trivia from the 1980s. They were going to call it "OhMyGod, That's So 80s," but after a protest from the American Family Association, they've changed it to OhMyGosh. The AFA issued a press release saying (among other things) that TV Land "easily disrespects Christians" and viewers should send e-mails to network President Larry Jones to protest.
I guess no one in that group was alive during the late 70s and 80s.
