Do any of you have any memories of when televison shows or comericals went haywire in the 1980's or when you were a kid??

By this I mean,A situation where things got out of control or a situation where someone broke from the norm and used profanity on the air.


A few.......


1.The Fight on Geraldo
2.Andrew Clay's apearnce on the 89 VMA's
3.Slash from GNR dropping the F Bomb on the american music awards(Yeah,it was 1990 but i'm being libreal here.)
4.I never saw it,but i remember my father telling me about a guy going crazy on morton downey's show and throwing paint.He covered the cameras and the producers just gave up and stopped filiming.
5.The Crispin Glover-David Letterman incident
6.The Citgo commerical I tried to post a link,too.
7.A local auto dealer who had some very choice words for his son-in-law.

I figured this would be an interesting subject since there wasn't so much of an anything goes attitude back then that there is now.

I've streched the time period to include the late 70's on this one because i know some interesting things happened back then and 1991 because to me the 90's did not begin untill the grunge era in 92.
