How long before someone posts that they are horrified and surprised that the same people who run the Fox News Channel would allow this type of programming?

These kind of "moral/social conservatives" are the reason we don't win. Why are they causing trouble for the only news network which opposes the commie agenda and isn't anti American

Fox is going to air the broadcast regardless of what anyone says. So why give it publicity by protesting it? I didn't even know Fox was planning to air a program on Playboy until I saw this post.

I watch Fox for sports, and for "Malcolm in the Middle" -- the most realistic American family on television. The rest of their trash goes unwatched.

"It's men victimizing women for the sake of money and ratings," Jan LaRue, chief counsel of Concerned Women for America...

Who is this person, Catherine McKinnon?

If you don't like it, fine. But this "men victimizing women" stuff is BS. They get paid a lot of dough, and they know what they are doing. Besides, I'd bet that a lot of the so-called victimizers here are women.

A Fox spokesman, Scott Grogin, brushed off the complaints, telling AP yesterday: "We respect all of our viewers' rights to their opinions. If this is a show they don't like or feel is appropriate, please don't watch."

Reminds me of that episode of "South Park" where all the parents travel to New York to protest "Terrance and Philip". The network executive says something like, "If anyone has any complaints about our programing, please feel free to direct them to that brick wall over there". LOL!

Pleasssssse, it should read "Ugly women of America Blasts Fox over Playboy Special." First of all there won't be any nudity, 2nd of all if they don't want to watch it there's another 150 channels to choose from. I realize that everybody out there that disapproves of this isn't ugly, but alot of these people that I see on T.V. complaining are alway Butt ugly and the only reason their like that is because no one pays attention to them. As for Boston Public, it merely points out the realities of our current school systems. You can't blame Fox for the truthfulness of their broadcasts.

The ONLY shows I watch on FOX (ABC, CBS, and NBC) over the air TV is NFL football, college football, and major league baseball. All other shows from those networks are prohibited in my house.

The DNC called. They want Jan to cough up royalties for using their patented "victim" rhetoric.

What's up with Fox. This isn't the first sex crazed piece they've done. I think there's a pervert on the loose at Fox.

I'm not going to defend it - but T&A sells.
Until you have a country that does not buy the product when T&A is put in front of them you may as well forget about it.

"It's men victimizing women for the sake of money and ratings," Jan LaRue, chief counsel of Concerned Women for America told the Associated Press

Nobody is forcing these women to be participants on this television program. If anyone is victimizing anyone, these women are victimizing themselves.

"It communicates to 12- and 13-year-old girls that this is what you have to do to be attractive to men," she said.

Actually, the source that most typical 12 year-old and 13 year-old girls use to learn about how to be attractive to guys are the teenage fashion magazines written almost exclusively by female writers and editors.
