The amazing race, one of my favorite shows on TV. I love it along with the Celebrity Apprentice and my all time fav, Project Runway. However what I don't like is liars.
I teach my kids not to lie, are they going to, yep!
I also choose my battles. Teach them that too.
However I was disturbed today to see that millions of people (ok hundreds...maybe) are upset and up in arms that their children saw 2 grown men (one of which is openly gay we will get to that later) get moved to the front of the plane into First Class seating without paying to get ahead in the game. Well, they followed the rules, did not pay for the upgrade, got ahead, and WON, but they won by 25 minutes not like 5.
PARENTS of CHILDREN...who are acting like children instead of parents want to "sheild their kid's eyes" from such behavior...HUH!?
Here are some issues that these parents are NOT concerned about:
ISSUE 1:What about the lesbians who were out and out RUDE, disgusting, vile creatures (those two not all lesbians, LOL, so don't misquote me) on the show TO that poor girl from Miss Teen USA...THEY were not worth complaining about? This woman VERBALLY ATTACKED someone for choosing the OBVIOUS best choice to yield that particular team. Talk about smart, I was ready for those two crazies to be off the show when it started!! I feel sorry for her partner who was embarassed to say the least about the behavior of the brunette whom I refuse to even NAME in my blog.
ISSUE 2: allowing their children to WATCH shows with openly gay or lesbian people portrayed in them...high moral standards? I think not. Wholesome...come on. This is real people. I teach my children to love ALL people. What in the world is wrong, is "cheating" worse than being gay? I never see picket lines for "cheaters" or "Cheater-Banging". This is upside down, these parents need to pick a side and get on it.
ISSUE 3: why is the cheating subjective? The idea that someone cheated and got away with it is rediculous on a show like Amazing Race where integrity is all but thrown out the window, how about allowing your children to watch a show where the same boys who won are attempting to and threatening physical abuse against a man who quite possibly wet his pants as they attempted to beat him through the plexi glass of the taxi...was that ok? No. Why then keep watching it? Why then not ask CBS to set rules...because that would be boring.
Seriously, people need to get a grip!! This is America, where we are FREE, free to watch whatever we want on TV and then sound like an idiot while stating that we are the smartest ones (hence this blog! LOL) however it would be nice if from time to time, someone would actually be smart about it.
God's people are white, black, Hispanic, gay, Indian, straight, blonde, and even have just one eye. So who are YOU to judge, maybe it is a good learning experience, but get it right, the only ones being cheated are the children who are confused to think that cheating is a worse offense than acting like a fool and embarrassing your mother....
