It's About Freedom of CHOICE!

Published on May 2, 2005 By Gideon MacLeish In Current Events

In a recent article, one blogger derided those who watch "desperate housewives".

Now don't get me wrong, I don't watch the show. In fact, when given the choice last night to watch Rosie O'Donnell as a retard or "desperate housewives", I reached into my cheesy film vault for a 1973 cheesy vampire movie starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing and featuring the best wardrobe since "Starsky & Hutch".

But the point is, I HAD that choice. And I MADE that choice.

"Desperate Housewives" is among those shows on television that has ZERO appeal to me; I watched one show early on just to see if it was as distasteful as I thought it would be (it was), and haven't watched the show since. But for those who do watch it, for whatever reasons, I would not begin to suggest that I take away from your freedom of choice. As long as you don't take away my cheesy movies, I'll stay away from your TV choices, deal?

Aaaah, it's great to be an American!

Nope, sorry. I know better than you do what you should be watching so from now on you will only watch those entertainment items which I deem to be worthy of attention. Got it? Good.

Why would they want to make anyone a vampire?

Watch the movie! It is actually quite good. I think it is Dracula, Today. But very good, and they make a lot of vampirettes!

Very good post. I wholeheartedly agree. If people do not like what is on TV they should change the channel. Nicely put.

I can tell!

What does that have to do with Buffy?

To get on topic, I agree. Does that mean you're against the FCC issuing fines?

At least Desperate Housewives isn't a "reality" show.

Yup, freedom of choice. The same choice that I exercised when I got rid of television completely. I did this before "Desperate Housewives" aired, but from what I hear, it is just the sort of trash that was among my reasons for trashing TV completely.

(((((((Although, my freedom of choice does tell me that Teri Hatcher is one Hottie!!)))) ;~D

Oui, but one man's trash is another (wo)man's treasure. The show may be trashy at times, but it's dang funny! 'Course I watched Friends for 10 years, so I'm hopeless.
