Bring it on! Who doesn't love to gather around the TV with the family on these cold winter nights and watch some hilarious beheadings and honor
killings?
(And by the way-if I recall correctly-didn't alot of black people dislike "The Cosby Show" because it was too "white"?)

Please tell me you understand "humor"? Relax.......

Of course I would hate Toronto, it's too cold up there.
Sorry, but my sarcasm button is stuck today, and when we have to have Hollywood educate us on how to be a good person, I just can't help myself. Happy New Year my friend and here's to another year of debate on good old ATS.

Take a look at this thread and the number of like comments, ones that come from people that don't sound like they're trying to be funny...people that honest to God feel that way. I chose the mildest form of invective I could, because people like that are going to get us killed.
My apologies...and we do have 'humor'...we just spell it right up here! (humour)

How would you enact a stoning with a laugh track?
If it was your mother or sister you wouldn't be making light of this. The point was to find a televivison show to change some of THESE views. All be it probably not yours....

I don't make light. I think it was Macbeth where the quote was, "I laugh so that I may not cry". Granted, my views are harshly skewed. I've lost two very good friend to the war. While I've made friends with those of the muslim faith, I personally have deep animosity for those that have tried to shoot me.
I guess I'm just going to have to be biased on this issue. Please forgive.

But I take the view that an easy going, middle class, American family that happen to be Muslim is the norm. 99.9% of such American families have high moral standards due to the fact the have a faith they respect, they are family oriented and they are aspirational.
Muslim Americans have been in the US since before the Civil War and have always been accepted. Since 9/11 certain rightwing elements associated with the military industrial complex, nutters like Pamela Geller and her mystery mosque, fringe Christian groups and Zionist Jews have been slandering, mocking and deforming the image of Muslims. Some even encourage the killing of American Muslim men, women and children.
So in the context of this manufactured hate culture, a good natured sitcom about a Muslim family would be good.
Sure .. if the intent was just a sitcom and people happen to be Muslim. But the INTENT Couric is talking about is that Hollywood needs to educate America. Supposedly Hollywood has better ideals, morals, whatever .... THAT is what is absurd. The thought of Hollywood 'educating' people and bringing them 'up' to Hollywoods morality level.

When I first read this thread, I made a joke about it in my head, but I didn't know people actually felt that way! Here's how the joke goes: reply posted on 31-12-2010 @ 04:48 PM by Ilovecatbinlady
