The Life and Times...

My friend adores the Chinese Proverb: May you live in interesting times. In fact, she too has that on her blog. I want to adopt it...We all definitely live in interesting times whether they are fabulous, exhausting or jinxed. No matter what, let us all live like there is "No Day but Today!"

Current state of television programming

Ok, there is this show on MTV called Date My Mom. I have always thought it was a little strange, but wow...it has gotten out of control.

I generally think I am a pretty liberal person. I loved Brokeback Mountain and think someones sexuality is their business and shouldn't be made a big deal. So, I guess I don't know why I am so freaked out by the gay version of Date My Mom. I guess I just cannot imagine going on this show whether my children were straight or gay. These parents say the craziest things.

For example, this guy is dating potential boyfriends moms and a mom says, "my son has a huge winkie" R U KIDDING ME? I don't understand. There are also moms that say "My daughter has a huge rack." Please, lets objectify our children and whore them off for the sake of television and let our younger generations think this is ok.

Whether you are gay or straight, please do not go on this show. Why do I have to watch it?

I have seen the show and know exactly what you are talking about. I can't stand to watch it because it's like these moms are trying to pimp their kids out or something (gay or straight). I can't imagine my mom trying to fix me up with someone and saying something like that about me. Do we not have any morals left? Come on!

I'm OK with equal opportunity for the gay kids. HOWEVER, I do find the whole concept of the show to be creepy and weird. I feel old to sum this up with a "Kids Today!" exclamation, but that is about how I feel about it.
