Why Can’t Fox News Die Already?

Fox, the beacon for pure family values, has set its sights on taking down Lady Gaga. If you listen closely, you can actually hear our eyes rolling.

The interview below (which is hosted by two sane people in agreement with us, btw. Actual Fox interview starts about ten seconds in) is two annoying women on that hellish network picking apart Lady’s Gaga’s “degrading” new music video for her song “Telephone.” (BTW, we LOVEEEE the video. It’s pure brilliance and we’re ecstatic to see someone in music trying to bring back the era of artful music videos). Anyway, these repressed wenches go on and on about how she’s hurting the children and our society, blah blah blah.

Some gems from the interview include:

[The video has] Beyonce and Gaga has gay, lesbian lovers. It’s disgusting.

GASP! Not…not…LESBIANS! Shield your children’s eyes! The lesbians are coming! It doesn’t seem like Beyonce had any problem with playing the role despite her “traditional” and “real” marriage to a man. And please explain to us what the problem would be if both Lady Gaga and Beyonce really were lesbians? That would be a FIERCE couple, just sayin’.

This is poison for the minds of our kids and for our minds too.

If this is poison, we’ll glady keep drinking the Kool-aid! And since Lady Gaga doesn’t profess her music to be for children in the first place, why don’t you be a fkn’ parent and monitor what they’re watching yourself?

But here comes our fave part! When the ladies try to link Lady Gaga’s video to sexual predators. Yay!

The men who do these things to young girls, something like 85% of them, are involved in some sort of porn. So you may not watch it, your kids may not watch it, but I’m telling you that the man next door who is a sexual predator probably does watch it. And it has an effect on all of us. This should be outlawed, this should be banned.

Um, hate to break it to you Sandy, but if you’re suggesting that most men who watch porn are also out to rape woman and little children, then you better be packing heat with you at ALL times because almost every single male in America watches porn. Many women watch porn as well. Some couples even watch it together (Scandalous!) Yes, 85% of sexual predators may have admitted to watching porn, but various studies have shown that up to 88% of ALL men admit to watching porn—and almost every day (the number has varied for women, anywhere from 25% to 66% have admitted to it). If 85% of sexual predators admitted to eating bananas every day, are we going to assume there’s a link and ban bananas too? Whatever your feelings are about porn (it’s a healthy expression of sexuality unless it turns into obsession vs. it’s degrading and breeds unrealistic images of sex in men’s minds), we should all be in agreement that watching porn does not equal rapist.

And furthermore, can we just STOP perpetuating that myth that all men are these ticking rapist time bombs?! “They can BARELY suppress their sexuality as it is, and all it could take is someone flipping a simple rapist switch (like Lady Gaga perhaps!) to make them lose control!” Underlying theme: it’s not REALLY the rapist’s fault. This is just how men are. They need the sex! And when they watch porn, we shouldn’t really be surprised if they then go out and force themselves on women and children. It’s actually horribly insulting to all the good men out there.

Oh, and final thought: Lady Gaga and her music video are not porn. And if Sandy is having a hard time figuring out exactly what porn is, she should just check  her husband’s computer. That would clear it right up for her.
