Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


CW knows no bounds in creating "bigger buzz," and will stop at nothing to get children to watch its smut. They marketed this '90210' debut with the shocking sex plot by using BusRadio -- a service that broadcasts audio exclusively into school buses populated with children as young as 6. The BusRadio website aggressively boosted the debut, complete with video clips touting the show: "Get ready for the two-hour event everyone will be talking about."

One critic of the relatively new bus service struck the obvious note: "BusRadio sells itself to school districts as an age-appropriate alternative to FM radio, but once again they've demonstrated that they don't know or don't care what age-appropriate means."

The show is also being promoted on such child-centric merchandise as backpacks, school supplies, cosmetics, T-shirts and sweatshirts. The CW network continues to enjoy marketing sexualized programming to children. It's surprising there's no word yet on whether CW will introduce its own line of promotional condoms or other sexual products.

The flailing, failing CW network is in dire straits. Their overall ratings stink. Their CW-affiliated stations are beginning to drop the "CW" out of their station logos -- and that now includes even Chicago powerhouse WGN, their signature affiliate. This sleaze-selling strategy will result only in the latest in a line of CW flops and fiascoes.

In the meantime, now, thanks to CW, parents have to worry about poison on school buses.

Toxic Hollywood?
It is a catchy phrase and in many instances true.
But just as often it is not. If George Clooney
and Sean Penn and others are toxic, hand over
the poison.

Meanwhile, you have two Hollywoodites here on
Town Hall.

Rowly, Re Rat-boy
Of course he took it the wrong way. I didn't say dyke porn would be good family tv for teen males, but rather, that when I was a teen, all the guys I know would have gone WILD for an hour of dyke porn during primetime broadcast tv. The fact that they went wild doesn't mitigate the fact that to have "given them what they want" would have had very unwise consequences. It's a "reductio ad absurdem" logical argument. That' all.

Still it was fun throwing his ad-hominem attack back in his face. I'm not above pointing out an idiotic statement when I see one.

I am Hetero, but the point of my post would still have stood had I been a gay beastial pedophile, who dresses in women's undies and paraded in Times square in NY, or Daley plaza in chicago. The ad hominem fallacy rests on the fact that the messager is not the message, and the message itself is to be argued in it's own right, in the absence of the nature of the person spouting it.

After all, who do the libs have go to the schools to lecture about the horrors of drunk driving? Drunk drivers who had horrible accidents because of it. But let them scream about a divorced Con advocating life-long marriage, and they are hypocrites, despite being uniquely qualified to comment on the bad consequences of that bad chouice.
