I have long considered the American soap opera as an open sewer for decades. The rot portrayed by the actors and situations in these shows personifies the absolute worst in humanity. I believe the poor behavior seen in these shows has preceded the commonality of such behavior in society by a number of years, so I would safely guess that it had its part in helping society reach new lows.
So now comes this from MovieWeb.com about "transgendered" actors and actresses (how do you know the difference?) being hired for "All My Children."
In the episode to air March 9, Zoe (Jeffrey Carlson), a transgender woman who has recently come out to the denizens of Pine Valley, attends support group sessions to help get through her transition. Additionally, Jennifer Boylan, a transgender author, professor and expert commentator on transgender issues, has been cast in the role of the support group leader.
When I was in high school, these shows were already displaying the worst in backbiting and heterosexual behavior. They have since moved on to showcasing homosexual matters:
In 2000 television history was made when "All My Children" became the first daytime drama to incorporate a lesbian character, Bianca Montgomery (Eden Riegel), in a contract role. In 2003 another historic moment was made when the show aired daytime television's first same-sex kiss between two women in a loving relationship.
Now, apparently, homosexuality has lost its shock value, so they must dig a hole in the basement and introduce "transgenderism."
Does anyone remember what Edward Gibbon is famous for writing? Get ready for the sequel.
