Reminds me of my grandparents who tried to point out the hidden gay messaging in every commercial for about 4 straight commercial breaks. It ended when I asked my grandpa if he was gay, because he seemed to be really infatuated with anything that could be perceived as gay. He didn't like that and changed the subject lmao.


So you insulted your grandfather's intelligence as your college professor instructed you to?

Excellent.

I don't think this is true anymore. We watched Disney critically injure their giant investment in Star Wars. We watch CNN get gawd awful ratings and yet still keep going. Same for much of MSNBC.

What's abnormal about interracial relationships? Be specific and detailed.

You think interracial marriage is not normal? In what way?

some truth to this

but the average person doesn't have an aneurysm when a dude's girlfriend on ABC is hispanic

so they can pick up a demographic and not really alienate many people

Pretty weird how you lumped homosexuality in with interracial marriage.

I never said it would. But, you are being your usual purposefully obtuse self here with shifting discussion points.

I said it would piss gays off on tv and that was good enough for me.

LOL

But seriously, are they for these people?

Because if you take out the white-asian, white-hispanic and white-unknown relationships, the black-white character relationships just aren't common enough to justify the level of bitching on the OT.

Why do you want to piss gay people off? In what way is that satisfying for you?

Being 2nd and 3rd out of three isn't exactly a great way to show they're doing well

It's called social engineering. In more layman terms...brainwashing the younger and/or low IQ crowd.
