I stayed with my Mom over the Christmas holidays and she likes to watch 'the Pickers' and the Pawn store guys, so I would see what's on the History Channel. (It was torture believe me!!) When the commercials came on I could not believe what I was seeing--what looked like Midget* hookers or pole dancers or something along those lines, grossly obese women fighting over men, people in the swamps killing alligators.... It was like a bizarre nightmare! In almost every commercial it showed these various people fighting, screaming at each other, throwing drinks at each other. Beyond belief to me.

All I kept saying is that I hope none of these programs out outside of the US or people in other countries will think worse of us than they already do!



*I don't know if this is the correct term now, or Little women?
