Family Group Gives Bravo No Bravos for Gay Reality Series

The NBC-owned Bravo cable outlet, which describes itself as an "arts and entertainment channel" plunged itself into controversy Tuesday with its announcement that it plans to air a kind of gay version of The Bachelor in July. According to the channel, the dating series, titled Boy Meets Boy, will feature one gay man looking for a partner from among a pool of 15 other men -- some of whom have been hired by the program to pretend to be gay. (If one of the straight decoys is selected, he receives an additional cash prize.) The show was quickly denounced by the Traditional Values Coalition, whose executive director, Andrea Lafferty, told Newsday: "Clearly, they've hit a new low. ... Just when you think programming can't get any worse, it seems like it drops another 100 feet to an even darker place. What's next after Boy Meets Boy? Boy Meets Sheep?"

What I want to know is why do groups like TVC always seem to go straight from gay sex to bestiality? Are they hiding some deeper secret? [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

My idea is for a Temptation Island type of show. All bisexual couples, of mixed gender variations. Let 'em loose in a drunken near-orgy free-for-all in a tropical locale. See how the couples swap off and see which relationships end or are formed. Hopefully, somewhere along the way, some really cool group action will come about. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I'm not joking. If we're going to be blatantly open-minded and capitalist, let's enjoy it.

Must agree with you here Rokenn .... the Religeous Right always seems to go straight to animals. "You can't let [blank] happen! What's next? Animals?"

I'm sure there's something Freudian there .... [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

For such a worthy cause as divesting you of your biotech stocks, and helping you thereby reclaim a bit of your human soul, I'm game.

*sigh* If only I had a way to really take money from the biotech industry.

Anywho, where will we put it? Breezy and sunny but not oh-my-god hot. Hmmm... I've never been to St. Bart's. How's that sound.

Where's Cloudy, maybe we can host it at her Casbah. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Okay, I'll reserve my judgement on that one for the moment. I have seen lots of articles lately over the flurry of scientific activity to develop a SARS antiviral.

Scary stuff. I mean is it really possible to be stupid enough to create the first "The Bachelor" version? Woohoo! More junk to the TV!
