Which means, of course, that advertisers don't give a flying fuck about them.

But I still believe that it's gay mariage that is endangering families the most.

You're joking, right?

Bah!

My TV goes for weeks at a time without ever being turned on. When it is, it's usually to watch a video.

There is simply NOTHING offered on TV these days that is worth watching -- that can't be obtained on-line. I was glued to the NASA TV web site during the recent Mars landings. And I'm a news addict on Election Night. But all that can be watched on line these days.

If people want to rot their brains, let them do it. It isn't anybody's business anyway. All of these busybodies worrying about whether this or that cultural phenomenon is sending us to Hell -- well, they need to go visit a brothel, or get an enema, or do something to get over their g*****n anal fixation with other people's personal choices.
