The organization and other mental health groups are taking NBC to task after the network aired an episode in which Steve Carell's businessman Michael Scott attempted to scare a group of children by struggling with a hangman's noose.
Afterward, Carell's character offers an exaggerated public service announcement: "Kids, just remember, suicide is not the answer. It is the easy way out."
