Film 'Neighborhood Watch' Gets Name Change

American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 48•19 • May 8, 2012

The Fox film studio is changing the name of its comedy Neighborhood Watch to The Watch in order to distance it from the killing of Florida boy Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watch representative. What do you think?

“Sure, but they might get a lot more publicity if they changed the name to Neighborhood Watch: Maybe About Trayvon Martin?”

“I didn't even think of Trayvon until you said that. Great, now I'm gonna be stuck with sobering thoughts all day.”
