Hypocrisy on the part of Fox

Fox, the same netowork that trivialized marriage with "Trading Spouses" and mocks parenting with "Who's Your Daddy" and pushed all levels of bile onto society really topped itself tonight.

Right before tonight's episode of "The Simpsons", a disclaimer came on the screen:
"This program has discussion of same-sex marriage, viewer discretion is advised."

How incredibly ballsy and hypocritical. I realize Rupert Murdoch is a big Rightie, but the same network that pushes the lowest depths of immorality on its programming every night of the week has a moral high horse about gay marriage? Fox's shows are hardly pushing any sort of healthy concept of marriage...but mention THE GAYS and they're all over it with a parental advisory.

And this, right after last week's heavy promoting of a lesbian makeout between underage girls on "The OC".

They should be ashamed of themselves.
