I'm so relieved that I won't be offended now.

I'm so glad that these groups decided for me that it would be wrong and harmful for me to watch this show.

Note, I would be even MORE offended by this if I were a member of one of the groups the participants belonged to. I'm all for being nice to people, but this is one of those examples of political correctness gone awry.

Now that I think about it, I actually MAY belong to one of the groups. Being someone who runs adult sites and also does the accompanying photography sort of puts me in league with the family that includes the stripper.

But now I live in Vegas, where nobody gives 2 shits about it.

I'm surprised that show even got past the brainstorming stage... brutal how stupid some people can be

What, stupid that they'd think up the show, or stupid that they'd think they'd be allowed to broadcast the show? If it's the latter, I can see what you're saying, but the former? What's wrong with the show's concept? Exposing bigotry for what it is is a GOOD thing in my book.

I have no problem with the show. I'd watch it to see how the neighborhood's existing prejudices played out, and I'd think this would be a good thing for people with "I'm not prejudiced, but..." lines of thinking to watch, so they could maybe see themselves and think "maybe that's not right."

But we'll never know, will we, because of self-appointed censorship groups. Remind me, which section of the Bill of Rights guarantees us the right to not be offended?

It would be interesting to see how that played out to be sure. adly there are too many people that want to decide for others what they should watch rather than use their own remote to control their own lives.
