TLC, The
Learning Channel?
I’m not
really sure what one is supposed to be “learning” while watching the nonsense
that this network broadcasts, other than the fact that the more outside of the
realm of a normal health family you are, the better your chances that you will
earn a nice fat contract by letting them display you and all your madness to
the masses like some sort of circus sideshow.
First there
was Honey Boo Boo, the poor child who was paraded around like a show dog and
made to spit humorous remarks like this precious gem, “I’m Honey Boo Boo Child”
on command like a trained (drunk) seal.
Her loving
mother felt it was in her child’s best interest to keep her hopped up on caffeine
and as plump as a Thanksgiving Day turkey for the good of the show, while she spends
her time dating a known child molester.
I’m not
Miss Cleo or anything, but I can clearly see that there’s not going to be any “World’s
Greatest Mom” awards on her mantle anytime soon, and any that do happen to show
up will be as undeserved as Milli Vanilli’s Grammy.
Now we have
the Duggars, who look at birth control the same way they view a cancellation
notice from the network, the more kids the better the ratings, so once the baby
odometer stops moving so do those paychecks and they’re having no part of that.
Their devout
Independent Baptists beliefs teach them to avoid kissing and sexual contact
until marriage, that is unless they are your sisters, then have at them like
they were a nice juicy steak and you a famished wild animal.
If you’re
fortunate enough to be born a male in this family you’re golden, but if you are
one of the unlucky few to be born with two X chromosomes, or as the Duggars call
it “two strikes against you”, one more and you’re out, so there will be no
pressing charges against your brothers and/or standing up for yourself.
The Honey
Boo Boo atrocity has thankfully already been canceled due to her darling mother’s
antics, but for some crazy reason 19 Kids & Counting has not, why hasn’t
TLC pulled the plug on this train wreck as soon as they learned of the wrong
doings?
What has to
happen before these networks are proactive rather than reactive, is it going to
take an all-out massacre, where one of their so-called “stars” goes all Chris
Benoit before they do what needs to be done?
The FCC
lost their shit when Janet Jackson showed her nipple at the Superbowl halftime
show, but why don’t they do something about reality television, like require
background checks and implement an age restriction similar to that of alcohol
and tobacco for all cast members?
The
unfortunate bottom line is this, just like with everything else in our world;
it’s all about the almighty dollar and nothing else, including the health and
welfare of all those involved.
Needless to
say that most of the programs aired on this network, along with many others for
sure, are complete nonsense, totally ridiculous and are doing more to harm our
society than they are to help it.
I don’t
normally get upset about the garbage I find on TV, mainly because it’s typically
grown people doing stupid things for a quick buck, but in the case of TLC it is
innocent children who are being exploited and put in harm’s way all for the
sake of ratings.
I urge you
to contact TLC’s parent company (link below) and speak your mind, stand up for
those who can’t do it themselves.
Well there
you have it, my thoughts on the matter, and if you agree with me great, but if
you don’t then may I recommend that you find yourself a real friendly psychiatrist
with access to a prescription pad to snuggle up with.
