If this is family programming we are in serious doodoo!

Last night Brad and I watched one of the Harry Potter movies on ABC Family.
Yes-we have seen each HP movie ump-teen times.
But-we have 178 channels and it was the only thing on.
Yes-we do have a Netflix movie we could have watched-but then one of us would have had to go upstairs to find it, then we would have discussed who put this piece of crap on the cue, and then we would have had to find the remote to change the TV's input..
Trust me-it was easier to watch HP
Plus-it is a HP Weekend and every so often they would show clips from the new movie that comes out in November!

yes-we are nerds
even worse-we will be at the midnight showing in November
Brad, at this point out, would probably like me to point out the difference between a nerd and a dork.

A nerd-goes to the midnight showing
A dork-dresses up (like Harry or Ron or Snape) at the midnight showing

We fall into the nerd category and insist that's were we will stay.
We won't dress up...
although it will be November
and it's cold in November
so we have an excuse to wear our matching Gryffindor scarves

Hey! I see you pointing and making fun!!
Do me a favor and take off your Team Edward hoody before you jugde me!
Oh and get the vinyl off the back of your mini-van...
no, not the one of your stick family...
the one that says "Love at first bite"
cuz, you my friend ARE A DORK!

Anyways...I digress

So while watching HP Weekend
I saw the series that they put on this trashy channel.
Seriously, Who is the focus group that ABC Family uses?!
First we have a show about teens that get pregnant...not just one...but lots of teens end up prego.
Then there is a show about a group of girls who are somehow responsible for a friends disappearance...its even called "Dirty girls Dirty Lies" (or something like this)
Then there is a show about gymnasts-who might make it to the Olympics, if they ever stop canoodling with their boyfriends.
In every commercial the teens are shown fornicating or drinking (hey. when teens are holding red dixie cups-at a party-I can pretty much guarantee they are not drinking pumpkin juice!)
This is FAMILY programming?!
Worse ABC is owned by Disney!

I am thinking of starting a petition...
