In a shameful display of mindlessly cowing to the Goobermints decidedly anti-American prejudice, PBS has shown less in the way of testicular hypertrophy than
Terrell Owens did. They had shot, produced, and planned to air an episode of their popular
show "Postcards from Buster" which features an animate rabbit that visits different places and the shows are about what he finds there, they now will not be running it. In an episode titled "Sugartime!" which concentrates on farming and maple sugar production, the two farms are run by a pair of lesbian couples with kids in Vermont. The Goobermint, and supposedly exec's at PBS decided
after dumping all the money into making the show that perhaps people might not want to let their offspring view 'that sort of thing'.
These people are so desperately in need of growing the hell up. Even if the children catch the significance of the couples:
- A) So what.
- B) Is it going to hold their attention longer than the word "candy" or otherwise over ride the imagery of all the animals and farm animals and equipment.
- C) Do they really think they can keep their children from ever realizing 'that sort of thing' happens in the world?
- D) Completely unable to explain lifestyles other than their own?
This type of "thinking" is endemic of a mentality that is so fiercely, willfully ignorant it refuses to even consider the possibility that anyone who believes differently than they do could possibly be a decent person, or that they themselves might possibly be wrong about anything.
