Lesbian Lip Lock; the doublespeak of FOX News Channel!
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,184220,00.html

This is the banner you first see:

Obviously NOT catering to all the stereotype hetero men who drool over lesbians... :eyes: Of course, the chick DOES look angry... but it didn't stop her from doin' the ad and makin' that money...

But I digress. Halfway down the page after a lot of fluff that's utterly irrelevant to the article's subject line :dunce:, this is presented:

What happens is the Noggin Network renames itself "The N" during dinnertime and changes to "teen programming." I saw no warning that my kids were about to watch a lesbian scene. I doubt other parents are aware this is popping up unannounced on a channel we feel is safe for our young children to view. Now, The N can show whatever it feels is "teen programming," but I felt it was absolutely wrong to pop up an ad featuring a lesbian scene during dinnertime...

Gee. Look at FOX Broadcast Network's family schedule, including shows like "Family Guy" and "American Dad". I could name quite a few other examples, but FOX has some nerve trying to be "the outspoken moral people" when their for-the-masses airware outlet has as much unsavory trash being aired. :dunce: :dunce:

1. FoxNews are themselves hypocrites

They moan and complain about T & A and sex on TV but just last Friday morning they had a 10 minute segment about a Pay Per View powderpuff football game to be cablecast during halftime of the Superbowl and FoxNews showed plenty of jiggle, bras, panties, and strippers wrestling for the entire segment.

2. Fox Network creates fodder for Fox News
They are creating a market to exploit.
