San Francisco Chronicle:
‘Wife Swap’ costs husband 2 board seats
The tale of Stephen Fowler, a.k.a. “the worst husband in the world,” is what we call a “talker.” Check out the several hundred SFGate comments following Chronicle staff writer Justin Berton’s story ( www.sfgate.com/ZGEM) on the San Franciscan’s appearance on ABC-TV’s so-called reality show “Wife Swap.” Not to mention the gazillion other Internet postings from near and far. That apologies have since flowed has not slowed the angry avalanche. Fowler, a renewable energy maven, isn’t talking publicly, but knowing the Web world as we do, not everything said about him is necessarily accurate, including the business affiliations ascribed to him.
We do know of two San Francisco environmental organizations that now count Fowler as an ex-board member. A spokesman for ForestEthics said little beyond the fact that the organization has since received e-mails inquiring about him. In a statement, Pacific Environment said Fowler’s “behavior represented on the show absolutely does not reflect the organization’s values and ideals.”
One question outstanding: Even if Fowler’s performance, as has been claimed, was choreographed by the show’s producers, why would he agree to it in the first place?
