As he has done before, Keith Olbermann opened his show with a statement about the controversy that got him in trouble this time. It was partly an explanation and also an apology (sort of) for denigrating Penn State students on Twitter last week, and in the process appearing to criticize their efforts to raise money for a pediatric cancer charity. I'll say this for Olbermann: his pompous verbosity -- which, when you get right down to it, is Olbermann's "act" -- almost never lacks for entertainment value, whether or not his speeches are completely comprehensible.

"Sex Box" premiered this past Friday night at 10 Eastern on WeTV. The show does indeed have a box in which couples go to have sex, after which they emerge wearing silk pajamas to answer questions about the quality of the sex from a panel of three sex therapists. "Sex Box" is the first U.S. TV show in which couples have sex in a prefab enclosure and then emerge to talk about it.
