I am so thankful to Carol Barbee for all she did with Jericho, and for the Jericho Fans. I have great admiration for her talent, as well as who is she is as a person, so I hope with all my heart that she will not be upset at me for this post I am about to make.
And to all those who practice this lifestyle, I am sorry but as this is my blog and due to this subject matter having been a direct result of my show being canceled, I feel I have the right to blog on this topic.
I do believe everyone has the right to live their lives as they see fit, just don't feel it gets to be crammed down folks throats. And since CBS is a public Network, and NOT cable this is infact being crammed down our throats.
Swingtown is unbelievable.
While it surely is not up to me to decide what consenting adults do in their spare time, I hate the fact that this show was allowed to be placed on the air. I understand from reading some threads at the Moonlight forum, that there were issues with some sponsors over the theme of Moonlight, part of the assumed reasons for canceling the show.
Okay.
And there have been more than one or two comments made in the last two years about Jericho being a not so great topic for a show , with terrorism, nukes, and the idea that someone who is an American would be able to do that to their own country.
Okay.
And on the Jericho forums so many times, posts have been deleted for "not acceptable content".
Okay.
But no, wait........... go take a gander at the Swingtown Forums!
Here is a small listing of threads you can find while trolling over there: Warning, these are heady to say the least.
Whats the best thing about the lifestyle?
Swingtown - opening the door for swingers
When Did passing Judgement become "Moral" - Celebrate Swingtown
and my personal fav so far:
Want to swing, HELP * OMG*
CBS, you really stepped on it this time. You have taken great shows and dropped them for no good reason. Oh yes, I know.... you're not happy with the 6+ milion viewers, I have heard that song before so please don't sing it to me again. You have demoralized a couple of million viewers who got attached to great shows ( a nice game you played there) and then you took away.
And you replace Moonlight and Jericho with this subject matter?????
And your sponsors are okay with this subject matter????
I guess Plato was correct after all......... Democracy is a doomed experiment because those whose voices are the loudest will take the prize. So now CBS is showing us how Swinging, free sex ( which as some one on the ST forums pointed out, we just got our kids away from!) and drugs are cool.
I am confused, is free sex with anyone who is not your spouse, and taking drugs at parties now a good thing to do? Do I now tell my three teenage daughters that basically they are good to go for this kind of behavior? ( not to worry folks, my girls have a brain and think this stuff is just so beneath them)
Listen, I am not a prude. I try to respect others rights but when its crammed down my throat and has ruined my viewing pleasure I am not going to take this laying down. If you want to swing, great... go to it. Don't tell me I have to watch it on PrimeTime TV.
Move this to Cable CBS, where you KNOW it belongs!
I plan on watching the ST forums closely because as it stands now, posts there contain links to pornographic materials, nude photos etc and even though they are being reported, they are NOT being taken down! See this thread for posts commenting on this occurrence on the Moonlight boards.
So CBS...... are you now as it was termed in one post, a PIMP? Because honestly, you just slipped down to a new all time LOW.
If you think I am overreacting, check this lovely thread out, the title is SLS:
one post states - any SLS members here? :-) *and beware this thread on page 8 is blatant porn references!!!*
a reply - we are :-)dn4play ( oh lord in heaven, this is almost comical)
almost a step by step for how to Swing.
I hope I rattled someones cage at CBS with this post, though I am not conceited enough to think anyone at the eye gives a rats ass what I think.
This show is proof positive of that fact.
