That's still in no way the most direct way to get information. and about .001% of the audience would have a quick enough eye to read that on the credits.

I also noted this quick scroll during the credits. It went by so fast, I didn't even realize the link WASN'T to the FIRST website!

If I recall, the recent CNN special was also devoid of any direct "For More Information" graphic displaying the FIRST website during the show.

It's like a cooking show displaying the finished product without giving out the details of the recipe!

Regardless of the quality of the program presented, not giving viewers a DIRECT source of further information is completely and utterly asinine.

In other news, Kate Pilotte sent FIRST suppliers this link to watch the show after the fact - http://iam-fan.com/?p=1449, which links to YouTube videos of the show. Hurray for that!
Yeah i actually went to the youtube video and paused it to read it.
I guess im just trying to look on the bright side. i mean, really, what should we expect from cable TV these days? (the answer is not much....)

P.S. Does anyone have the strange feeling that Will.i.am is reading all of these posts?
P.P.S. I have a hard time believing that Miley Cyrus is a "nerd" (as said in the video) :O
P.P.P.S. Did anyone else feel like Bieber (ugh) was being condescending, maybe even insulting, when he said "What you guys do is just as cool as what we do"?
