Anybody who watched the Lakers revert into flinch-and-whimper mode during the NBA finals this month was treated to roughly 7,200 plugs for "Wipeout" and "I Survived a Japanese Game Show." ABC crammed the promos down our throats during the pre- and post-game shows, during fast breaks, during timeouts necessitated by Pau Gasol's need for a hug, etc. After the umpteenth "Wipeout" clip, I couldn't help but think that ABC regards me and my fellow hoops diehards as slow-blinkers who consider limbs-splayed carnage the epitome of modern culture.
