Chaz Chucked

Patrick Archibold comments here about someone called Chaz Bono, who is the offspring of celebrities Sonny and Cher, who used to be a woman but is now a man, who is upset because he/she was chucked off a TV show called Dancing with the Stars. Chaz is upset because people on the show are prejudiced--not against gay people or transgendered people or lesbian people or queer people--but against fat blokes.



Geesh, my prejudices started way back with 'offspring of Sonny and Cher'. They continued with 'TV Show called Dancing with the Stars'. I'm not offended by Chaz getting chucked. I'm offended that they made such a program to start with. In fact, I'm offended by TV generally--the way you might be offended by the picture of the  double chili bacon cheeseburger jalapeno ranch meal at some puke making burger joint.



I mean, does anyone actually watch TV? When we moved here from England five years ago we didn't know the channels, didn't know the shows, didn't know the people on them, and decided not to have a TV.



Its not that we're puritanical or anything. We just didn't see the point of wasting time watching trash. But forgive me. Maybe I've now offended both fat blokes and people who like watching TV.
