we are supposed to be opposed to same sex marriage but millions of people will sit and watch this bachelor and bachelorette crap on tv every fricken week? now Ready for Love...what the hell is wrong with people these days?

let's get a bunch of supermodels on tv because they need help getting a date!

I realized last night that America just isn't ready. For what you say? It's just not ready. It's not done yet. Put it back in the oven. Gen-Y, I realized, is going to totally reshape this country once the baby boomers are dead. We've started. We've made strides. But it's not there yet.

Last night on Lavar Arrington's radio show here in D.C. they were talking about some NFL players who want to come out of the closet. Without missing a beat, Christy McSweartogodimnotahomophobe calls in. Teach Confucius! "Derr, Alabamma! HIV is still a huge problem in the gay community! There's blood being spilled on the field! It puts players at risk if players are gay!"

Of course. Because the NFL doesn't have HIV testing [it does] and because if they're gay they have HIV [they don't], and because making it acceptable to be gay in the NFL will meant that the league will suddenly be flooded with HIV positive homosexuals [it won't] and because HIV isn't also a huge problem is poor black communities, where the majority of NFL players come from [it is]. No the first thing this cat thought of at the mere mention of homosexuality was "HIV."

It was at that moment that I realized we're just not ready.

But that's not news. I think you're missing the big issue. Reality TV shows are actually (if it was possible) getting worse.. They say the NFL is a copycat league. Television is a copycat media:

Singing shows are popular? Let's make another one. Except in a big arena, with celebrity judges.

Chopped is getting good ratings on the Food Network. Let's make another one. Except in a big arena, with celebrity judges.

Millionaire Matchmaker is hot on Bravo? Let's make another one. Except in a big arena, with celebrity judges.

I can't wait til Netflix fills the decrepit old ***** called TV with hot lead and puts it out of its misery.
