Abc family has to be the best example of false advertising today.

Almost everything on that channel the last couple years is anything but family friendly

they don't actually want the "Family" apart of the name.

They are legally required to keep "Family" as part of the name. They are also required to air The 700 Club.

This is all due to stipulations Pat Robertson and his son put in the deal when they originally sold The Family Channel to Fox. Micheal Eisner caught a lot of shite when Disney bought it b/c he apparently didn't realize that they were going to be forced to keep "Family" in the name and air The 700 Club.

I fricking hate ABC Family. I'll be looking at what's on TV and see Forrest Gump and get all excited. then I see it's on ABC Family and I get mad. They made Home Alone and Happy Gilmore un-watchable by censoring words like hell and damn. And you can notice that they speed up the movie at times during certain movies (ex. You'll notice people talking WAY faster than they do in the normal film cut).

I have been amazed at some of the things they have shown considering that name.
