It's about time that a television station allowed decency, not
advertising dollars, dictate what is appropriate for it's t.v. line-up.
KSL-TV is to be commended.

(CBS News) NBC Utah affiliate KSL-TV has pulled the upcoming Ryan Murphy
sitcom “The New Normal” from its fall lineup, calling the series as
“inappropriate on several dimensions.”
The show, which follows a mother who serves as a surrogate for a Los
Angeles-based gay couple, stars Justin Bartha, Ellen Barkin and Georgia
King. It’s set to debut on Sept. 11 on NBC at 9:30 p.m. ET. But Utah’s
KSL-TV doesn’t want anything to do with it during “family viewing-time.”
“From time to time we may struggle with content that crosses the line in
one area or another,” Jeff Simpson, CEO of the station’s parent company
Bonneville International, told The Salt Lake Tribune. “The dialogue
might be excessively rude and crude. The scenes may be too explicit or
the characterizations might seem offensive.”

watertight logical proof of the existence of God. In spite
of this, however, people often feel that they can logically
prove that God exists.
Unfortunately, reality is not decided by logic. Even if you
could rigorously prove that God exists, it wouldn't actually
get you very far. It could be that your logical rules do not
always preserve truth--that your system of logic is flawed.
It could be that your premises are wrong. It could even be
that reality is not logically consistent. In the end, the only
way to find out what is really going on is to observe it. Logic
can merely give you an idea where or how to look; and most
logical arguments about God don't even perform that task.
Logic is a useful tool for analyzing data and inferring what is
going on; but if logic and reality disagree, reality wins.

Does this station air "2 Broke Girls"? I'll wager anything that the new
show isn't as rude and crude as 2BG.
But it isn't centered on a gay couple, so I guess it's OK.

sort of excuse."
This is rather like the No True Scotsman fallacy.
What makes a real believer? There are so many One True Religions it's
hard to tell. Look at Christianity: there are many competing groups, all
convinced that they are the only true Christians. Sometimes they even
fight and kill each other. How is an atheist supposed to decide who's a
real Christian and who isn't, when even the major Christian churches
like the Catholic Church and the Church of England can't decide amongst
themselves?
In the end, most atheists take a pragmatic view, and decide that anyone
who calls himself a Christian, and uses Christian belief or dogma to
justify his actions, should be considered a Christian. Maybe some of
those Christians are just perverting Christian teaching for their own
ends--but surely if the Bible can be so readily used to support
un-Christian acts it can't be much of a moral code? If the Bible is the
word of God, why couldn't he have made it less easy to misinterpret? And
how do you know that your beliefs aren't a perversion of what your God
intended?
If there is no single unambiguous interpretation of the Bible, then why
should an atheist take one interpretation over another just on your
say-so? Sorry, but if someone claims that he believes in Jesus and that
he murdered others because Jesus and the Bible told him to do so, we
must call him a Christian.

"atheist" to mean a person who denies the existence of a God.
Most atheists would stongly dispute the adequacy of this definition.
Rather, they would hold that an atheist is a person without a belief
in God. The distiniction is small but important. Denying something
means that you have knowledge of what it is that you are being asked to
affirm, but that you have rejected that particular concept. To be
without a belief in God merely means that yhe term "god" has no
importance, or possibly no meaning, to you. Belief in God is not
a factor in your life. Surely this is quite different from denying
the existence of God. Atheism is not a belief as such. It is the
lack of belief.
When we examine the components of the word "atheism," we can see
this distinction more clearly. The word is made up of "a-" and
"-theism." Theism, we will all agree, is a belief in a God or gods.
The prefix "a-" can mean "not" (or "no") or "without." If it means
"not," then we have as an atheist someone who is not a theist
(i.e., someone who does not have a belief in a God or gods). If it
means "without," then an atheist is someone without theism, or
without a belief in God.

That works. Definitely. I never watched Chelsea's show; I watch too much
tv as it is so I have to be really strict about what new shows I watch.
Connecting back to "2 Broke Girls" (which I didn't watch and kinda wish
I had), I definitely watched "Whitney"; I'm a huge Whitney Cummings fan.

Assuming this *is* trash. None of us have seen it, right?
Until I see it, I'm going with my original guess that they object to it
just because it's about gays -- and not "nice gays" like on Will & Grace
