In the no-so-recent past, our Network News provider wanted us to air spots 
(it's a trade) that promoted satellite radio. We said "Fat chance!" and we aired 
something else from the Network, instead. They quickly dropped those spots, 
as I would imagine we weren't the only group to object.

I wonder how many people were asleep when *that* order went through the 
Network's "channels".
