The controversial aspect of HBO's new drama to me was that it stole the title of Sarah Dunn's book "The Big Love!"

What strikes me as controversial in all of this is the fact that Bon Jovi thinks his style has ever been original...no way girlfriend. The waify hipsters of Franz Ferdinand may or may not be able to beat Bon Jovi and his crew in hand to hand combat, but in the style category it's Franz 1, JBJ 0.
