Via Kevin McCullough, this is what now passes for family entertainment:
Then last week while my new five month old was devouring a bottle in our living room, the shot of Santana and Britney (two female cheerleaders) came on screen, making out in bed, that was the last straw.Read the rest. The pornification of American culture proceeds apace. How easy it is to get kids to see this behavior as cool. All it takes is a popular TV show and no resistance from parents.
No children, being front of a television in the 8pm hour should be exposed to that kind of pornographic stimulus. None.
And ladies, before you question whether or not it IS pornographic to have two completely clothed size 2 cheerleaders, (one of whom had a breast enlargement procedure), one on top of the other kissing passionately, on screen. Ask your husbands, regardless of what they say, watch the look on their face – it will tell you all you need to know.
The point is, this kind of show is nothing new to television. The naked breasts and butts of NYPD Blue, broke the barriers to “R” rated sexual content on television years ago.
But it is NOT appropriate for the family hour, or the hour following (8-10pm EST) in America’s prime time.

I'm sympathetic to how grotesque this is, but it is not new. I can remember my mother freaking out about some of the content in Miami Vice (that's almost 30 years ago!)
