Evil Media: Wife Swap

This piece of trash has been around for a couple of years, I guess. At least, they had enough episodes to have a marathon for President's Day. Or was it Valentine's Day that the LIfetime Channel showed this piece of crap all day long.

The very premise is reprehensible. Two wives "swap families." And husbands too, let's not forget. I wonder if they give the hubbies some sex while they're in the house? I don't watch it, but the commercials show that typically the kids are snot-nosed punks that need to be euthenized, and the husbands aren't much better, and the women who'd actually particupate in this crap... hell, euthenize 'em all.

All it is is another mass media indoctrination that women are "interchangeable" - they exist only to serve the men.

I mean, why not call it "Husband Swap"? Wife with a dumpy husband gets one who's young, virile and sexy. No...you'd never see that. Guys don't have to participate in that kind of crap. It's only the women who have to participate for the "hottest bachelor" and so on.

Soooo offensive on so many levels,... and the fact that thisshow is popular...very frightening.
