Fox Can Kiss My Ass

Thanks, Dr. Helen, for pointing this out for me:

Protest Fox's New Reality Show Bad Dads!

The list six reasons which I will briefly paraphrase.

1.) This show will publicly humiliate the children of the families involved

2.) The show unfairly depicts fathers as uncaring and selfish when the facts show otherwise.

3.) The records of child support agencies are error prone and cannot be relied upon

4.) The show singles out fathers for shaming when Census data shows noncustodial mothers are far less likely to pay child support.

5.) The show glorifies abusive private collection companies.

6.) Television is already rife with negative depictions of fathers and this show will add more of the same, only worse.

Go there for more details.

I'm a single parent. Have been since the year 2000. I've dealt with the prejudice and misconceptions. This shit pisses me off.

Your kid seems to have turned out pretty well. Not ALL single fathers are bad. :-P
