Re: Don't these people have ANY imagination? (m)
This is straying way off topic but I remember my family having a discussion a couple year ago about how networks like TLC are basically modern day versions of freak shows. There's programs about conjoined twins, little people, morbidly obese people, people with strange disorders and diseases etc etc I don't think our society is as far removed from looking at people with disabilities as entertainment as we like to think we are.http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/87410

You are so right! Now I'm gonna have a hard time thinking of TLC as anything other than the "freak show" channel. =X
