John Stossel is a complete fucking idiot
They're doing a show on race and sex differences tonight and the best he could come up with for a stereotype about men was...get this...men do less housework. :eyes:

We got all the oldies but goodies about everyone else...women talk more, blacks are better athletes, Asians are more studious, gay men are effiminate.

For men...they do less housework.

It's like he has no fucking clue what a stereotype actually is.

Someone come take my remote control away from me and make me watch something else before my fucking head explodes.

3. I'm listening to CNN gently "bash" dimson; always a pleasure.
ABC = no, no, no!

4. I remember his "Organic farming is bad for the environment".

Happily, I don't watch him.
Hope someone intervenes for you and takes away your remote. :)

5. No one has to take your remote...just change the channel!
Every remote should have a Stossel Blocker. He's a fucking clueless dolt.

7. VelmaD, darling...
use the remote to turn off the tellie, or place a DVD into the player and watch that, then walk slowly away from the TV.

That's right, back s.l.o.w.l.y. away from the TV. :D

:hug:

I just couldn't look at his idiot face or listen to his idiot voice for one more second. It's like he doesn't begin to understand how racism and sexism pervade our society and THAT IT IS A BAD THING!!! ARGH!!!!!

Ok...I'm better now. :)

10. So much for boycotting ABC.
And you caved for something you don't even like? Sucker!

People called me "pathetic" when I said I would continue to watch the shows I was addicted to, but not one other ABC show new or old.......no reason to get to know them. I'm sticking to it.

11. Uh...first off...
All I have is broadcast tv. I was changing channels and saw the subject matter and stopped on my way to something else. Second, I have turned it off. But thanks for being more liberal than thou.

14. John Stossel in his early days did some pretty fine reporting.
About 3 years into his career he started getting more and more Right-Wing.
Now he's just a clueless lying prick who comes up with the obvious and acts like
he's saving the world by repeating it....

18. This thing with ABC
Makes me crazy because 'Boston Legal' is back next week and that's my favorite
show. It will be really, really hard not to watch it.

19. I'm sort of hooked on Grey's Anatomy so I know how you feel
At least I've got a copy of V for Vendetta and the Stand to watch when I need a little down time.
