new FOX show sounds ridiculous

[GBD4]

did I just hear on the radio that on Friday FOX is debuting a new show that challenges a woman to pick from two guys the one who is heterosexual? never watched FOX anyway . . .

1. That's what I like about Fox

They preview all their shows (my kids watch Simpson's) so I always know what I'm not going to be watching!

2. It's like Boy Meets Boy, only with a female picking from a bunch of males

Funny how gay people are A-OK with Fox when they're the butt of jokes, or there to humiliate yet another reality-show contestant, but when they just want to go about their business and maybe get married, it's the downfall of society.

Oh wait. Not funny at all.

But I digress. It seems to be a stupid show.

5. do you mean people or gay people?

6. Well, I guess people in general, as well

But, specifically, Fox News constantly complains about gay marriage (through its commentators) and how we're all going to hell in a handbasket because of the "gay agenda."

But Fox's entertainment arm has no problem taking the same people O'Reilly, et. all., call unnatural (or whatever) and exploiting them for laughs. Or ratings.

3. Yes, I heard about this

Amazing, isn't it? What happens if she picks the wrong guy (nice how they set it up for the gay guy to be Mr. Wrong) and they get married? Does he then run for Governor of Texas?

7. the game goes like this

If she picks a straight guy, they split 1 million. If she picks a gay guy, he gets all 1 mil to himself.


The problem with this dating premise is that she is not choosing a person for love but for money. . .

4. "Playing it Straight" is the title...
