I just watched The Foundry’s Anti-discrimination Ad on the Gruen Transfer because all of the hype made me curious. Apparently it was so shocking that it was unable to be aired on the television. Which is somewhat confusing considering the shite that is aired, such as Big Brother and adverts for phone sex.

The thing that actually offended me was the amount of warning put in place to let people know that they might be offended. Because if there was no mention of race or sexuality, and if it was just focused on the fat jokes, it would be a featured video. It offended me that we have to be so politically correct about race but when it comes down to it, if you are discriminating about a persons colour or their shape, it is still about a physical aspect of their being.
I don't see how one type of discrimination is worse than any other. Why is it ok to make fun of someone for being a woman, or blonde, or fat and not ok for the exact same things to be said in relation to a Jew or a brunette?
I think if you want to be politically correct it has to apply to everyone or no-one. There is no graysacle.

Unfortunately I have been watching CSI: Miami in recent weeks. Every time it gets worse. It is basically a (c)rap music video staring some white dude doing the hokey pokey with his sunglasses. He takes the glasses off, he puts the glasses on, he takes the glasses off and he looks into the distance. And can someone explain to me why in every murder there must be female strippers, female hookers, more than 4 scenes in a strip club and some graphic girl on girl action? t makes me think television is slipping. I would welcome back Spellbinder in a heartbeat. If you don't remember / never watched Spellbinder, it was one of those bizarre nearly science fiction shows with a portal between two worlds. It was probably one of the worst shows at the time, but it was just so funny. To 'shoot' 'magic fire balls' they would use martial arts moves and slide their arms around. Watch some here. Other TOTALLY EXCELLENT shows include Jeopardy, where a group of Irish campers get abducted by aliens in the Australian outback with a bunch of video campers to document the experience. Also Maddigan's Quest was a fantasy-based television series set in a post-apocalyptic future full of children with New Zealand accents who are afraid of machines in the 'forbidden zone', also known as the forest.

And on the subject of television, I caught some of Dr Phil (aka SATAN) who had some suggestions for what to say to children, such as "I don't care". I don't care if there were words following that sentence or if he followed that up by spending millions of dollars on hookers, people rarely remember more than the first three words.
