No. I don't watch TV. Thoughts? You shouldn't watch TV either. Pop culture isn't normative. Just because others accept things as normal is not a reason for me to do so....

Sorry.... you asked.

This.

I haven't seen it and don't plan to. Val's assessment of the basic vulgarity of the concept is nicely encapsulated by a bit of insightful, but subtle advice penned by Harper Lee-- so, in the timeless and pointed words of Atticus Finch to Scout:

(on the subject of not using particularly offensive, if common, language and customs) it's common.

Different subject, obviously-- but clearly a regular theme in following popular practices and culture.

I often have that sense about reality television, in general terms.

And yes, this is one of DD's absolutely very favorite quotes from Mockingbird-- and one of mine, as well. It's very well to be normative, until it becomes something revolting.
