The controversy led ABC to reject a pilot written by Norman Lear, stating that the lead character was "foul-mouthed, and bigoted", out of fear that it might anger its affiliates again.

Drop the Debt Drop the Debt Drop the Debt is the slogan of the late 1990s campaign for international debt cancellation led by the organisation Jubilee 2000. The phrase was coined by filmmaker Mike Christie. He and Jubilee 2000's Jamie Drummond set out to create a mainstream campaign to engage major figures within entertainment and music industries including Bono, and in turn the wider public. The slogan "Drop The Debt" garnered global recognition and is often assumed to be name of Jubilee 2000. The slogan was subsequently used as the name for the short-lived British NGO formed after the dissolution of Jubilee 2000.
