Hey Capt', keep yer eyes on the road... 
Speaking of TV and rating and acceptability... Hubby and I were watching the boob-tube last night. They ran a commercial for one of the current programs (wasn't one of the shows we watch), and showed two gals kissing. Now mind you, Lee and I are anything but PRUDES, but his statement was, "Ratings must be going down again for another show". Anything of THAT nature is totally acceptable, but how dare we show anyone happily married or professing to be Christian or... You get my drift? It's as though happily married people with 2.5 children, can't be shown because it would be a "put-down" to anyone who wasn't. Once again, God forbid (oh gee can I say that?) that we step on someone's toes.
I don't know, give me some good old fashion TV. But THOSE people would say, what, do you thnk Ozzie and Harriet represent the real world? Well no, but neither do people having sex with everyone else in the world, or cussin' like a sailor! This is what's on before our kids are in bed at night. So all this is okay, but don't cha dare bring up the Holocaust because THAT might offend someone. ARGGHHH!
Oh geez, how'd I get started on this avenue? Guess it's all part of this world we live in. Hard not to bring up one thing without the other. All sad reflections on how we live today (or at least what we are exposed to)!
