After all, they had plenty of time to critique Good Morning America's decision to dump Adam Lambert after his racy AMA performance.
The week before, the org got into a ridiculous fight with South Park over an episode that used the word "->-bleeped-<-got" repeatedly to show how hurtful it is. (The org later withdrew its objections and acknowledged there was nothing anti-gay about the episode.)
Auntie-Mama-Cleveland-Show.pngSo why isn't the media watchdog all over last Sunday's episode of The Cleveland Show? Why scream bloody murder over a cartoon with a pro-gay message while completely ignoring another show that is actually demeaning to our community? You know, the one that has characters vomiting at the thought of having sex with an "outrageous" deceptive "->-bleeped-<-" - who's really just a deep-voiced man pretending to be a woman, of course.
