No.  But you were.

that's a no-brainer.  they've asked Brian about Allison's sex scenes a few times.. he always replies with this milquetoast "she's an adult and an actress and we understand that".  as if that's actually the totality of his emotions when watching the sh**t.

he's 'voluntarily' leaving the air for a short but indefinite period.  NBC is "conducting a probe into his past statements"

odds are pretty solid that he's done, but it's no lock.  the usual last straw in these cases are when sponsors start pulling out.. but will they, in this case?  it's not like he got caught being insensitive to some protected class of people.  we are all liars.  "lying is the only advantage man has over animals" - Dostoevsky.

it also may have initially been a lie that turned into truth.  I have a few lies I've told so many times that they flow naturally -- I don't realize that they are lies unless I reflect back on them.
