Well I just bumped into the petition and figured people would want to sign it. Honestly it kind of does offend me and somebody I was talking about it on Facebook brought up an interesting point.

Would society put up with an ABC Family show portraying people of a certain race, gender, or sexual orientation indulging in ridiculous stereotypes? I doubt it....because it's WRONG!

and what the hell is ABC "Family" doing advertising a show to kids about drunk frat boy date rapists and bulemic sororstitutes. HORRIBLE example to the kids out there....

The entire situation is a huge embarassment for everybody involved.

ABC family is NOT a family channel ("a new kind of family")

Its some sort of weird contract thing where they have to keep the family name even though they are not.

And lets be serious. ABC Family is NOT MTV. How many people actually WATCH ABC family? Who is actually going to be swayed by a dumb tv show?

Name me one internet petition that's done jack crap. The other recent petitions on that site are:
Jail Paris Hilton
Don't Free Paris Hilton
Stop WBC/Phelps from protesting at VT funerals
Free Paris Hilton
Draft Al Gore: Gore for President 2008

Yeah, they're gonna do some good.

It was these kind of petitions that caused CBS to bring Jericho back for season 2 when they cancelled it. If there was BIGTIME outpour it could have an effect.

p.s. I hope Al Gore runs for president on a third party green ticket....SPOILER!

eh who knows, then again when you think about it we don't bitch and whine about Animal House and Old School we have theme parties based on them (Toga Parties were supposedly extremely rare pre-Animal House and everyone at my school has at least one a year)

The problem with toga parties is that most people don't have the bodies for it :(

I read that the e-mail at both CBS and LA Times went down due to it as well. Read it in the LA Times.

That could be a rather good idea-get rid of the "extras" after Friday and Saturday parties:D

SoCalGirl 06-20-2007 10:21 PM

E-mails maybe. Online petitions, I seriously doubt it.
