ABC Family??

A recent email from my friend, Emily, regarding ABC Family Channel:

"so, as i sit an loaf for hours and hours/day, i noticed that abc family had changed it's slogan to "a new kind of family" higlighting that it isn't just pat robinson and the 700 club any more -- there's gilmore girls, wild fire, that summer wildfire show, and three moons over milford. they're hip, they're happenin' -- and they're clueless.

so, i know that some of you enjoy the james blunt (carol), and others (j and s) think that he sounds like a 65 year old woman. but, you're all familiar with the song "high"...clearly, it's about drugs. it's a pretty song, but the lyrics read "tomorrow starts with us getting high."

the brilliant marketers at abc fam thought that it would be the perfect song to go over the montage of "hip new" shows. brilliant.

abc family. we're hip. we get high."


Emily - always, always perceptive.



This was my response:

"abc family...

i have been skeptical about this channel for quite some time and it's NOT because i am not into the movies as are some people (e, s).

has anyone not noticed for the past year or so that abc fam frequently shows CRUEL INTENTIONS as it's sunday night film?! i tune in b/c i love this movie, but i do not believe it is appropriate for abc family channel.

james blunt loves to get high. perhaps the producers at abc fam do too.

is it just me or are a lotta things outta whack?"


Some sensational Friday observations.
