Get the gun out and shoot it! Or if you don’t have one of those handy, use a “real” TV brick!

Maybe TBS and A&E can buy some gay credits from HGTV.

Why would normal people want to watch homosexuals on TV? This doesn’t make any sense.

We got rid of television programming 3 years ago when we moved. Before then my Sister in Law lived with us and paid for it so we just ignored it and spent time in our home office away from the TV.

Now we have a TV, but it is only hooked up to our DVD player and we really only watch MAYBE 3 hours a week, things made before the end of the Hays code and even then mostly just WWII morale movies and then maybe one a week.

A statement like that will get you sent to re-education camp!!! LOL

It occurs to me that I have never seen “Brokeback Mountain”. Nor do I want to see it. I will join you in re-education camp.

Why is it okay for GLAAD to give out ratings on channels which have the positive depictions of LGBT, but liberal groups criticize Christian groups which track violence, profanity, sexual content, etc. of programming???

Why is it okay to do this sort of tracking and rating when done in support of liberal causes, but not when done in support of conservative causes???

I was commenting about this on the weekly Sci-Fi thread. GLAAD does things that would make the Hayes Office blush.
