2½ Men .. a Poll

Brand new show last night. I'm sure that there is a broad spectrum of people who liked and didn't like it. However it ended with a line that I thought was pretty funny, but surprised that it made it on TV. The two brothers are drunk and being driven home in a cab. One has recently been thrown out of his home by his wife who has become a lesbian. The final line of the show is this brother saying, 'My wife a lesbian? How can that be? She's never enjoyed oral sex.' Vote 1 if you think the line is not acceptable for a TV show or vote 5 if you think it is. :) Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented? Why do people in this time period worry so much about time traveler's destroying their worldline when they have no problem doing it themselves every day? John Titor.

Here in Canada, it aired from 9:30 to 10:00 and the line in question occurred at the end of the show. Considering it was prime time and a national network, I think ABC, I was surprised at the 'censors' letting in through. Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented?

I never get enough of that. Seriously though, I'm betting it was more likely NBC, ABC is owned by Disney and is 'trying' to promote a 'family' image lately, hence their terrible sterile shows. Eco

Ooops. Didn't make that clear. I meant to say national in the American context and certainly not in the Canadian one. I'm not a big fan of the CBC, though.

It wouldn't appear on a TV show here in Kerala. The censor rules are quite strict and the channel would be severly criticised. I am sure the channel rating among family viewers will go for a toss. I personally feel it very inappropriate, especially you wouldn't know if you'd be watching it with your parents. Smitha You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true.

Presumably there was a warning about the adult nature of the content? If so, clearly there isn't an issue. If you don't want to watch, turn off. In addition, I think children should be taught about sex at a much earlier age than they are at the moment. You show me a 10 year old these days that hasn't heard about oral sex in the playground. Much better they learn from someone more responsible.

It's funny enough, though pretty much a one-liner deal - haven't seen the show, so if that's pretty much what it's about then ok. Now... As for all the comments about kids. If you're letting the networks decide what's appropriate for your children to see and hear, then they're probably fucked anyway. Seriously. Would you send your young offspring by themselves into the adult section of the library, and then get all offended when they came out carrying Marquis de Sade? I don't buy this "introduce them to every conceivable filth ASAP, lest they find out about it elsewhere". Build in them a foundation of knowledge, so they can interpret what they are told and what they see.

What would be the shocking part? "'My wife a lesbian" or "She's never enjoyed oral sex"? Question to the offended ones : would it be shocking if the line would have been "My wife a serial-killer? How can that be? She's never enjoyed to remove the tripe when cooking?" (yeah, I know, it's much less funny)

Much of my surprise was really 'expectation'. The usual fare on ABC, NBC, and CBS is mindless and non-provocative. So I wasn't expecting something like this line. Makes me wonder if the network is going to be stretching the boundary some more. And yes, education of your kids so that they can decide for themselves is what is most important. Although usually when my wife or I start a discussion on some of these subjects, their hands fly up over their ears and they scream "Too much information.. Too much information" :doh: Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented?

For my money this is the sort of thought process that will eventually take Western society down the tubes. To distract from the subject at hand, which you know to be both the exposure of children to homosexuality (a perversion regardless of politically correct opinion) or to oral sex when they're at an age where a kiss on the lips (those under your nose) should be tittilating enough, to say, "well it isn't as bad as a serial killer" is a step down the path to the eventual point where there is no such thing as morality. Furthermore, to see it on TV at a time when children are sure to be watching is to give tacit, societal approval of something that should be under the control of parents to approve or disapprove, not a TV station, not a producer, not a director, not a government, not a neighbor. To put it more succinctly, it is the parents job to teach morals. That includes attitudes regarding sex, the taking of lives, telling the truth - not the media's. Mike

Mike Gaskey wrote: tacit, societal approval of something that should be under the control of parents to approve or disapprove It still is. If the parents don't like their kids watching it, they don't have to own a TV. Or order that channel. Or they can find another place for their kids to go after school. And on, and on, and on. Parents should stop expecting society to raise their children for them; or at the very least stop complaining when [they absolve their responsibility and] said society turns their children into unthinking culture whores.
