TV Guide says next season may have a gay cheer leader in Heroes. I really hope they don't go there. My kid likes to watch the show, but I'm not going to let him sit there and watch liberal propaganda about how great that lifestyle is. If it gets as bad as Desperate Housewives got, I'll stop watching it too. Can't we just have a decent show about superheroes and not some liberal lesson in political correctness? I really like that show, but I won't sit there and get spoon fed political correctness for nothing or nobody.

Even the Young Avengers, sheesh. I don't get it why do they think everybody is ok with this crap. This kind of thing doesn't belong in entertainment especially entertainment meant for general audiences like superheroes. Comics should be about good vs evil not lifestyle choices most people aren't ok with anyway.

Me? Personally got nothing againist Gays and I kind of understand having gay heroes. I'm Mexican and German myself and their ain't enough of the both in comic books, well if you don't count the villains. What upsets me is that nowadays their too many gay heroes. I don't wonna pick up a comic where two guys are kissing. Their should be gay heroes like those two young anvengers and a few...but they're over doing it! In the plus side... If the gay cheerleader does come out on the show...you can take a bathroom break without holding it in till the commercials

I can go for heroes of every race that's not a problem at all. I like diversity in characters. Hiro for instance is my favorite character on Heroes, and I didn't care that much his TV dad was played by that gay dude from Star Trek, but just don't having stories centered around that kind of lifestyle. They can do whatever off screen, but I don't want it in my house for my family to see. We watched Desperate Housewives like the first season, but then they had a teenage boy kissing on another one. That was the last straw. We haven't watched it since. See it's like a slow process that Hollywood has been using on the public since the 70's. Slowly but surely they keep showing us crap until we get used to it, and once you become desensitized to something it doesn't bother you anymore. A person from the 1950's would throw their tv in the garbage if they caught 20 minutes of some of the shows that are on tv nowadays. It's like these new horror movies they have to keep getting gorier and gorier to shock people. Some day the only thing that will entertain some of these horror fans is real life death and destruction like the old roman coliseums. Whatever you feed your mind will one day affect the type of person you are. Sorry to be preachy, but I'm so sick and tired of getting interested in a TV show and then have it either canceled if it's any good or have it turn so morally corrupt I can't even watch it. Heroes was my favorite show, I really hate for it to turn into a bunch of crap.

I agree with ya. I like a tv series that isn't like you said so well corrupted. I spent alot of time with my grandpa and see these old re-runs which were pretty good without stepping over the boundaries. Shows like the Munsters the Twilight Show and so on. I'm not saying shows like The Jerry Springer Show is bad but when you watch that show you know the kids shouldn't be watching. But good shows like Heroes and House to name a few. You want to see with your family and a gay cheerleader pops out with no good explanation why, does kinda force you to like it. And no one likes being forced to do anything.

True. The Munsters and the Twilight Zone and a lot of those other classics relied on plain old good story telling. The shock in the Twilight Zone never had to rely on smut. I have to disagree with you on the Jerry Springer show though. I hate stuff like that. I think it rots people's brains. I used to work somewhere where they liked to watch that show, and I could literally feel my IQ dropping.

man, i think horror movies that rely on gore to try and shock are so stupid. it's like writers these days aren't clever enough to think of new ideas. it's like the epic movie, and date movie, they're so desperate for ticket sales that they make such stupid spoofs that it's overkill! as brian bendis once said, you need realistic everyday situation comedy, not "shtick" comedy. __________________ "You...complete me."

True like I think Jim Carrey is best when he plays a average guy that runs into an extraordinary circumstances like on Liar Liar. I think he would have been perfect for Bewitched. Horror movies today try to rely on the worst in human nature to get ticket sales. It's not scary anymore it's just disgusting and disturbing. You can scare the daylights out of an audience without shedding one drop of blood. In fact I think it would be easier to scare an audience because once they get into this unrealistic gory world they have turn off their humanity. You can't relate to the characters on the screen once that happens. They aren't people anymore on screen just video game props. If you really care about the character then just the thought of something unknown creeping around can scare the crap out of them.

yeah, sixth sense was really scary and it didn't rely on gore at all. and will ferrell screwed up that bewitched movie bad, kidman was good, but i agree i think jim could've pulled that one off. i'm surprised he did the serious movie, 23, he seems too wild and energetic in most of his roles so i wonder how he stayed calm in that one without making it look spoof-ish. __________________ "You...complete me."

will ferrell just can't play an average kind of guy effectively. He has to always play somebody with a mental disorder of some sort to be funny.

That movie had me till the end when he started kissing that dude, that was just gross. I never did see the complete ending cause of that. Of course this isn't quite as gross since it's just a lady in a plastic mask, but it's in the same category of gross movie kisses.
