I must admit that my wife and I enjoyed watching Dancing with the Stars. It was a silly show, but relatively harmless. Unfortunately the politically correct crowd has taken over and there is zero chance I will ever watch it again. First, they chose to add Ron Artest to the cast. That alone was nauseating. Last season there was a rumor they wanted to add a lesbian couple. We were spared that when Portia de Rossi turned down the chance at glory. (For those who don’t know, Portia is the “wife” of Ellen DeGeneres.) Dancing with the Stars did manage to get their lesbian couple in the Israeli clone version. I can’t speak for anyone else, but watching two females dance just doesn’t cut the mustard for me. I am even less interested in watch two men dance. But even this was not far enough. Now we learn that Chas Bono, the transgender former female child of Sonny and Cher, has joined the cast. (Remember the cute little girl, Chastity Bono on the Sonny and Cher show?) Chas is rather proud of his new look, and had surgery to remove anatomically inconvenient parts, although it is not clear whether or not anything was added.
I really don’t care much about what people do in their private lives, but I have zero interest in watching this nonsense. I don’t think anyone will even bother to organize a boycott. Finally ABC found a way to develop a program even more disgusting than the garbage on MSNBC. Congratulations.
