Am I reading you right, zapppop?

It would be appropriate that Alec Baldwin no longer be allowed to do Thomas the Train because of the adult material he has done since (even if it won't happen because of his established celebrity status).

I think there is a double-standard for women. No kidding. That sucks. Like so much stuff.

GD, you silly man. How could you forget that we are supposed to be preparing the path for our children, not our children for the bath?

We must protect the children from all things evil. Sooner or later someone will complain about Alec doing Tomas the Train.

Won't someone think of the children?!?!

Does anybody remember Xuxa? She is about the biggest thing in children's entertainment in Latin America (and primarily Brazil) and she did Playboy and wore what are essentially stripper outfits during her children's show.

Despite this she was still given a U.S. version of the show (that failed in the ratings not because of any scandal over her dress and former nudity). It is amusing that PBS would be the prudes, especially when at the critics presentations last week they said they are going to be less fearful of the FCC and fight harder for free expression.

Xuxa!!! LOL! I remember watching an episode of the American version of her show, and I was in awe...

...over how HORRIBLE the show was!

Yeah...she wasn't your typical children's show host...

But good girls don't have sex. And if they do, they certainly don't enjoy it. It is a burden that one should only undertake after marriage, when one can be rewarded by numerous opportunities to create obnoxiously hued gelatinous dishes for when the man of the house brings the boss home for surprise dinners. The polite girl always pretends she has no idea what sex is.

Alec Baldwin is letting off a little manly steam, and the PBS host is a slut. Everyone knows that.
