Just think about the effect media has had on children.
hundreds of channels, the internet, chat rooms, and video games that push the boundries of acceptable behavior
and the goal is to topple the moral foundations of this country by mocking those people and institutions that advocate basic moral values

You mean how it expands our views, and teaches us alot of things, that we otherwise would not learn about?

acceptable behavior can be defined as what is considered to be appropriate for the majority of the people in a given milieu. I was a soldier - what was acceptable in the field or in cantonment was certainly different than what is acceptable at my mother's house. In public areas, the conventions of acceptable behavior are those who are set by those who own or control the area. The acceptable behavior of a patron of a strip club is certainly different from that of a patron of a strip mall. By this time, I am hearing that o-so-familiar whine 'freedom of speech'. Please. This 'freedom' is a privilege that has been bought with the blood and sacrifice of others, most who have used this power wisely. One of the most lamentable events of this current generation is the abrogation of power without authority. Expression can be speech, dress, or behavior - and all need to be exercised with the consideration of those around you.

There is no such thing as moral firstly, it's all a concept in peoples head, and different people consider different things to be moral or immoral.
I'm assuming you mean the U.S when you say "this country"; The foundation of the United States is freedom, justice, liberty and equality, not "morality".

lighten up, its tv. i bet you wouldn't be quite as angry if it was about muslims. for all you know there are christians that fit that exact bill, and would feel insulted that you think their situation is ridiculous and untrue.
tv is tv, reality is reality, documentaries are about reality, sitcoms are situational comedy.
Actually, the term "queer" is considered to be politically correct in the 'gay community'.

I consider it a rude derogetory term, and I am gay myself by the way.
