WTF is wrong with MTV?

i was surfing the channels when i saw this 2 guys (gays rather) competing with one another to win the heart of another gay. They kissed, caressed, etc. Man, good thing i was holding the remote, not my kids! R they running out of ideas on TV??

Hmmm.....you were surfing, yet lingered long enough on MTV to catch kissing, caressing and the name of the show? Were you just waiting for "Will and Grace" to come back from a commercial break or what?

Well it's comforting to know that your kids are on their way to hating homosexuals, or at least planning to hate them if they ever meet one.

How do you explain to a 7 yr old kid when she sees 2 guys kissing??? its perfectly understandable if we're talking about 12 - 14 y.o. Also, i have no intention whatsoever of teaching my kids to hate somebody becuase of the color of the skin, sexual preference, etc. That scene is just hard to explain to toddlers, plain and simple.

Well. You could say something along the lines of "Those men are gay. They are attracted to other men, and that's ok."

or you could continue to breed hate. your choice.

Keep in mind that IQ distribution is a standard bell curve centered on 100; MTV covets the left side of the curve.

 

[Leetman]

MTV really is crap nowadays.

 

[Mean MrMustard]

I hate MTV as much as the next guy, but today I was flipping through the channels and started watching Punk'd. I think that show is hilarious.

You realize that some people have religious or moral beliefs that don't allow them to agree with homosexuality right? You can continue to be flat out ignorant and think that anyone who doesn't agree with homosexuality is a backwards hate filled person but you look rather silly.

MTV got caught up in their own greed. They saw the profits possible with shows like the real world, and they spiraled out of control. It's not even music television anymore, it's just fake ass pop culture trash.

If someone condemns black people and I call that person ignorant, do I look silly? What is the difference? Where is the line drawn? (and doesn't everyone look silly alot of the time anyways? )

Don't even step into the minefield of using religion to justify hate.

They play no music. That's it.
MTV used to be OK as background amusement but now they're gone to hell completely.

Now don't jump to that conclusion, they may be young. I think that seeing gay couples (continually) could confuse them at a young age...

If two guys making out is the worst thing kids see on TV today then they are lucky.

Id rather my children flip by and see a porno than flip by and see some homos all over each other

 

[StageLeft]

I watched the whole thing (I rarely watch dismissed). I find it fascinating with these 3 gay guys and how they act. It's like they're two girls and a guy - except they're all 3 guys. It's just weird to me and I couldn't turn away!

Wow, three incredibly intelligent responses in about 5 minutes

What each one of you failed to grasp is there is a difference between not agreeing with something and condeming it. Perhaps you don't want your child to have purple hair because you don't agree with that. Does that mean you hate people with purple hair? Obviously according to you three mensa's it does but in reality it's not true. Do you hate all the people that are of a different political party than you just because you disagree with them? It seems like a fairly simple concept to me.

The thing I find most ironic about all this is people who preach tollerance are usually the most intollerate people out there. They just focus their intolerance in a different, more acceptable direction. That direction being people that don't agree with them. Nice line of hypocrisy you all have running there. Let me know how it works out for you.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

One thing I'd like to add before any of you attack me on this front is that I have absolutely zero problems with gay people. Whatever they do is their choice. I just try not to be so incredibly ignorant as to assume that just because I have one view on something then that is the only acceptable viewpoint regardless of circumstances.

You missed the point. I'm not sure any toddler needs to see two people pawing each other, but the rather vehement way he condemned MTV for showing it at all was what I took issue with.

I think it was more of you missing my point. I never used religion to justify hate as you had said. You simply jumped to the conclusion that someone that does not personally agree (even if the vehemently disagree) with somthing must hate it. I was just clearing that up.
