Fox's "Who's Your Daddy?" show
Ok..if this was on any other TV channel besides Fox, neocons <AND Fox talking heads> would be boycotting, sending threatening letters, and blaming this all on us libs....

Children's advocates in the US are furious over a new TV show, Who's Your Daddy? It features a young adopted woman trying to pick her biological father out of a line-up of eight men - seven of which are impostors.

By interviewing and observing the men, she must pick out her real dad. If she gets it correct, she wins £60,000. If she gets the wrong one, the counterfeit dad takes the prize money.

The show is airing next month on Rupert Murdoch's Fox channel.
"This isn't just appalling, it's destructive," said Adam Pertman, executive director of The Cradle, an adoption counselling institute.

1. probably one of the most disgusting things i have heard of
right up there with The Swan...where we take a woman with low esteem and change her looks...to prove that THAT is all society cares about in her.

3. That's pretty disgusting.
I'm glad I stopped watching TV over a year ago. It sounds like the quality of television programming is continuing to deteriorate.
