As part of my job, I have to access the media Web sites for TV shows and by far — by far —  the CBS-owned Web sites are incompetent, user-unfriendly, poorly organized and generally frustrating. And now, not even accurate.
While trying to access it this week to get photography for a story (which I wasn’t able to do because … well, nevermind), I came upon the welcome screen above, where CBS is crowing about the ratings success of the season debut of “Survivor” on Thursday. Â Only problem is, the dumbasses at CBS DON’T EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THEIR OWN @#%!* SERIES!!!!
As you can see, they’re pleased about the numbers for “Survivor: Gabon — Garden of Eden.” Only thing is, this season is called “Survivor: Gabon — Earth’s Last Eden,” and has been promoted as such all summer long. So, the suits at CBS don’t watch their own promos. And their incompetence won’t allow me to download a photo of the uber-gay contestant on the series to promote their show… which they don’t know the name of. Worst of all, it’s been several days and the network STILL HAS NOT CORRECTED THE SITE!
Let’s hope their news division isn’t as brain-dead about their facts.Â

It’s unbelievable that CBS can’t even get the name of its own show right. Maybe some theater queen at the network got the title mixed up in his head with the finale of Louise’s strip number in “Gypsy”: “And now, Minksy’s salutes the Garden of Eden!”
Actually, the doctor who is the object of the gay contestant’s affection used the phrase himself when, in telling the camera that he knows the lawyer is attracted to him but that he is straight and there will be no romance, said, “This may be the Garden of Eden, but there won’t be two Adams here.”
