Reply #15: This thing is on A&E????? Really?

I'm a liberal. I honestly believe that there are two sides to every issue. I don't see the world in black and white, I "get" that there is a Grey area to almost every issue and that finding solutions to problems means working through that area with an eye towards achieving the maximum benefit, and minimal detriment for all involved.

So my intellectual reaction to the ads I've seen for this show are disinterest and live and let live etc... but my knee-jerk and ultimately most honest "gut" feeling is that it is CHEAP SHAMELESS EXPLOITATION. Not that that is illegal or unique on American television.

Good or bad, right or wrong I have no desire to watch the show. (I do not say this from some puritanical square of either liberal or religious "high ground" or "Moral Snobbery" , both of which I disdain, I just don't enjoy watching ANY sports or "sports entertainment" sexist or otherwise (is there a NON sexist form of sports entertainment?) and would rather read, listen to Asha Bolse or Radiohead music, watch a DVD (WILLFULLY pirated off of usenet) or play, stacking BLOCKS, with my boy Johnny (AKA "Stinkypete"), who is CLEARLY the best 1 yr. old boy in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE and who will be raised to understand that women are, just like him, an ESSENTIAL , EQUAL and WONDERFUL HALF of the Human species.and are, like him, OWED respect, and awe)

We all smile. We all sing.
