Interesting that you mention this. Earlier today, I went to Facebook, and it was logged onto my dh’s account (if you have multiple accounts, unless you deliberately log off, the last one that was on will pop up). One of his “friends” is a coworker who’s a lesbian. Her status was a picture of a stereotypical “dwarf” (I think it might have actually been an “elf”-pointy hat, long white beard, etc.), with the headline “Why not make fun of short people?” I wanted to, but didn’t, since it wasn’t my account and she’s not my friend, post a reply “For the same reason we shouldn’t make fun of gay people!”Soapbox time
These shows can harm as well. People watch them, and less-than-intelligent people giggle and make comments in the living room. Those people have kids. Those kids see me in WalMart and have zero idea that I am a human being who, after a long day of work, does not really feel like hearing “Look at that!” every time I encounter a child in the store.
The parents? They just act as if this is fine.
If a device would make sure only intelligent people watched these shows, they would be great
)I agree in part. I don’t watch either show mentioned in these threads, but your 100% right that if it made a group look ridiculous it’s not a good thing.My point being, any show that makes any certain group of people look ridiculous isn’t a good thing. Our society is becoming so callous and uncaring. It’s like we’ve brought back the “freak shows” from the circus, and just put them on cable and youtube. (And, of course, we’re not allowed to do anything that could be perceived as “cruel” to animals, but people are ok!
