As the parent of a Twelve-Year-Old, I have to say I'm completely mortified by what I saw on Fox television this evening. It was as if Spike TV, MTV and Girls Gone Wild had all invaded FOX for the evening. They then proceeded to rape and pillage the minds of young kids everywhere who tuned into the show hoping to see some of their favorite teen stars.
Okay, so a show that awards surf boards for trophies can't be taken all that seriously, can it? Well the problem with that thinking is that kids who don't take it seriously might want to think again...and parents who don't watch what their kids watch....REALLY SHOULD FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!! Remember the old saying that a "mind is a terrible thing to waste?" If you watch this show, be ready to kill off a bunch of neurons, because you will have wasted plenty of your mind as well as minutes of your life, watching this crap.
Let us begin with Kevin Federline...a.k.a. "Mr. Brittany Spears." In a feat of daring only matched by Vanilla Ice in his heyday, Mr. Federline somehow managed to "ghetto-wannabe" his way through what can charitably be called a song that had entire passages bleeped out. How can FOX (not normally known for their good taste) even think that this poser belongs on their network?
Overcompensating for lack of talent by cussing should never be allowed, nor should it be encouraged...Shame on you FOX!!!
Then there were other comments... Chingy on Love: "First you get all cozy, then you pop some buttons...You know how it goes..." This is advice for teens? OH MY GOSH!!!
Then some teen dancer/singer/employee of a pimp started singing and performing some sort of sexually explicit yoga-dance that most men have only seen in some sort of men's only club.
And get this, she is a teen!!!
Oh, and if that wasn't wonderful enough, after awarding the Disney Channel movie "High School Musical" with an award (one sparse moment of good judgment during the broadcast) they went to a break featuring the guys from "Jackass" doing one of their typically stupid stunts.
I'm not necessarily for censorship, but a little good judgment and maybe showing it on SPIKE or the PLAYBOY channel at a later time in the evening might be a better move.
Come on, FOX.... Grow Up!
