The Drudge Report linked to a story this morning about the possibility of Mel Gibson getting involved in a new miniseries, named "Flory", about a woman who survived the Holocaust with the help of a series of Dutch families during WWII. The New York Times article discussing the project contained this unfortunate choice of words from an ABC executive:
Mr. [Quinn] Taylor, [ABC VP of Marketing] who likened "Flory" to ABC's critically acclaimed 2001 miniseries, "Anne Frank," cautioned that Mr. Gibson's level of involvement would not be determined until the miniseries is completed - which at this stage of any project is still a long shot - and he has seen it. "If it happens to be produced by Mel's company, it doesn't mean he's going to be out there flogging it like he did 'Passion of the Christ,' " Mr. Taylor said. (emphasis added).
Did Mr. Taylor think he was being cute?
