Is anyone going to watch Katie Couric's lame special tonight?

[devilgrrl]

The one about teens and sex? It looks ridiculous, I think I'll blow it off. How about you? You going watch it?

[candy]

1. Not in a million years. n/t

[adigal]

2. No

but I never watch her. She makes me nauseous.

[oregonjen]

3. I have a 9 yr old girl, yes I want to watch it

Middle school is not that far away and I want to know what is going on in the minds of youngsters these days. Seems like this generation in growing up faster than mine.

[codswallop]

4. Watch it?

nah

[swimmernsecretsea]

5. You mean the one where she talks about teens and sex?

And says that teens have sex?
Um, I have this important cereal box to read tonight--and OH American Idol is on! I nearly forgot!
I'm gonna miss all those moments of inappropriate giggling and awkward flirty behavior. Tell me how it was.

[ComerPerro]

6. I hate discussions like that

Are our teens having sex?

Blah blah blah.

I could turn on any country music radio station and within twenty minutes I guarantee that I will hear at least one instance of a singer reminiscing about a sexual encounter from his teens, or his "first time".

This supposed "moral outrage" and "concern for the children" is all hypocritical, self-righteous bullshit spewing from God's Own Party.

[devilgrrl]

8. Oh, I know...

seems to me all the kids she's going to talk to are a bunch of upper-middle class snots. Don't it?

[BrklynLiberal]

7. Nope. Gotta watch an apple turn brown.

[Bluebear]

12. hehehehehe

[proudbluestater]

9. I don't watch the war profiteers of NBC, nor most MSM

[Gemini Cat]

10. I'm very busy this evening.

I have to count the bathroom tiles on the floor or otherwise I'd watch warm and fuzzy Katie discuss sex with a bunch of upper class white kids. :eyes: :puke:

[plcdude]

11. blow it off

I know that was unintended but I had to laugh.

[Cocoa]

13. I've seen part of it

lame city.

[Danmel]

14. Nah- I talk to my kid

I don't need Katie to tell me what's happening in her school & in her life, we talk about it.

The poor kid is traumatized because they're on the Sexuality portion of Health class. They have gotten VERY specific about birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, all sorts of stuff she find mortally embarrassing. They don't split up the classes by gender anymore so she just can't even look at the boys now without being mortified!
It's pretty funny really.

I have a pretty good idea of what goes on, I'm just a little surprised at how young they are these days (or maybe I'm more surprised at how OLD I am!)

[stevedeshazer]

15. no

I'd rather endure repeated cigarette burns.

[Craig3410]

16. I'd rather undertake death by rabid wildbeest, thank you very much.

:puke:

[RBHam]

17. who?

what?

isn't air america broadcasting at that time???

[sehlatik]

18. I know a conservative Republican...

who thinks that Katie Couric is a "liberal bitch". She also thinks that all us liberals are left-wingers.

[newyawker99]

26. Hi sehlatik!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[sehlatik]

27. Hi, NewYawker

I've actually been more of a lurker here than anything else, and I have posted a few times. But thanks for the welcome.

[Jacobin]

19. Shriieeeekkk. Teens having SEX?????????!?!?!!? OH NO

Say it aint' so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katie Couric is putrid and her little 'sex' ratings romp will be sure to lure in millions, but sorry, I have to cut my fingernails tonight, so I'll miss it.

Maybe someone can Tivo it for me.

:eyes:

[Lastgasp]

20. Not me . . .

With more than 400 cable channels, there must be something better to watch. It has been a long time since I was interested in teenage sex.

[thinkingwoman]

21. my teens made fun of the previews

and the concept.

Don't think it has any real world value whatsoever.

[AlCzervik]

22. seriously, i have paint to watch drying.

[DrWeird]

23. I haven't seen the promotions.

Anybody want to describe them?

[devilgrrl]

25. It features several upper-middle class teens...

with way too many cosmetic surgeries bragging that they gave it up in 6th grade. "Like, helloooooo!" :eyes:

[LeftyMom]

24. Is it sweeps again already?

Is your teen selling her body for crack? Would you really know? Tune in to our shocking report tonight at 10 on WXYZ news to find out the scary truth about what your baby girl does while you're at work!

:scared:

[mitchum]

28. No, I'll be watching a DVD that covers the same topic
