i was watching tv last night and saw jimmy kimble on 13 when i flipping channels, i happened to see a clip they showed of the surreal life on vh1, janice, one person on the show made some comments that were sicking about some special needs young adults they were bowling against. this is completely out of line and something needs to be done about it. i posted on vh1 surreal life message board, b/c i couldn't find an email address to reply too any where on the sight. vh1, mtv and janice and all the people that work with or on the show are all guilty in my opinion. we all need to let them know that we as parents will not tolerate this behavior on national tv, this is so damaging for our kids. i literally became sick to my stomach watching that clip. i am also emialing ABC for showing that clip, it was irresponable and sicking. i hope the parents of those young adults on the show speak out about this. she called them retards and other awful things. we should stop watching vh1 and mtv. they need to apologize on national tv and help our cause not hurt it.

Look where it's coming from: MTV and VH-1 are ruining America.
It's a far cry from the days of A Flock of Seagulls. Remember when Boy George was controversial? HA. A guy in make-up ...woopee! When I was a kid, neon socks were cool. Now oral sex is cool. Secondly: That hag Janice Dickinson, author of a book called "Everything About Me is Fake...And I'm Perfect". Kicked off the Ryan Seacrest Show, a show for teeny boppers- have some class, you  !There's a BIG difference between being famous and being infamous. The show is basically about pop culture has-beens. (sorry Peter Brady)...I know it's hard, it makes me cringe when I hear the R word, but look who's using it! I don't wear a PC straightjacket, but insulting someone who can't defend themself- that is just purely pathetic!  Kerry
