GARBAGE 2

Garbage in, garbage out.

Words can’t express how PLEASED I am to read that an upcoming reality show “All My Babies’ Mamas” will not be aired.

I’m sure you’re already heard the premise for this beyond disgusting “show” (and “show” is an understatement!). The “show” intended to cover the life of ~~crapper~~ rapper Shawty Lo, his 11 children, and their 10 mothers.

That’s all the space I’m going to give to describing that garbage.

Any who, thank goodness the public outcry, coupled with a petition holding approximately 40,000 signatures (mine included), was enough to slay this beast.

Allison Samuels of The Daily Beast provides the details here.

Don, EXACTLY! Those shows are an insult to our country’s collective intelligence, and a scourge on television programming as far as I’m concerned. I’m really happy that the hue and cry seemed to work. Thanks for commenting!
