I'm sure somewhere along the way I have ranted about something on "7th Heaven" being insipid or insulting or reactionary, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Evidentally Simon-- who you must realize is in his second year of college-- lost his virginity in a one night stand-- and he used protection. Anyway, that was last episode, which I didn't see. This episode, Simon is SO worried that he instantly went to the doctor to get an STD test, started reading the Bible, makes a bargain with God that if he survives the ordeal he'll never have sex until he's married, and evidentally told EVERY MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY that he had a one night stand! It's hysterical-- every time someone walks into the room with him, they sit down and get a pensive look on their faces and say, "Well, I hope you're ok. I know you're worried. I'll pray for you." I mean, EVERYONE-- his brother, his father, random foster child #1, the brother-in-law, his 15 year old sister... like there must have been a "I Had Dirty Slutty Sex" phone tree at the Camden household!
I'm so curious why this poor boy is so scared he has an STD... I mean does he have a rash or small insects in his pubic hair? Is he oozing? I mean its been a week... Does he not have any sex education AT ALL?
Wait, folks, he just received the call. His results are in... and...
Commercial break. Yikes... I love how they make protected consensual sex out to be such a risk and such a moral failure. I mean, this poor girl... wouldn't you be incredibly insulted if you had sex with a person and the next day he MOVED HOME and got a battery of tests run on himself and dedicated himself to Christ? The sad part is that this is actually Conservative America's view of sex-- this is the sex ed policy-- abstain, condoms are useless and prone to failure. Sex with condom = sin. Sex without one = gay men. It's dispicable.
Ick... I have to go shower. I feel all wholesome.

I guess he and Deena didn't have sex after they went to all the trouble to sit down with their parents and talk about how they wanted to try it. Oh sure, THAT will go totally well!

This show is so incessantly ridiculous. It desperately wants us to realize its about REAL ISSUES! Somewhere along the way though they took it to the next level. They actually had random people looking directly into the camera-- people we didn't know or care about, just people walking around Ruthie's high school and say, "You know, its hard not eating at night. I mean, when your parents can't buy you food. God, feeling like I'm starving isn't cool. And then your friends go hang out at a resturaunt and you have to make up an excuse... its hard being hungry." This went on for about five minutes without about 4 different monologues... I thought that was over the top for even 7th Heaven. LITTLE HOUSE did it so much better... I mean they just killed you off if you did something wrong. Poor Albert and his morphine addiction. Coffee's got nothing on him. Take that Simon!

One of my LJ friends once described the morals on 7th Heaven as, "if you don't do your homework, your teacher will get hit by a car." So true. ^_^
Hahaha, Little House on The Prairie. They love that on my fundamentalist message board! There's a thread on there right now where this woman is like, "I'm not gonna sleep tonight; there's a Little House marathon on!" Of course, her husband wouldn't really allow her to do something so craaazy as staying up all night watching Little House, since she's the only one who knows which kitchen appliance is the stove and all that.

Gotta love high moral fiber... keeps me regular! If I purchase it, I think it deserves a bit of Laura viewing!

That would be awesome! I haven't made fun of Little House in a long time. ^_^

not deena
It was...oh, who was the character played by Ashlee Simpson? Cecelia? And Simon asked her dad, who happened to be his employer! How could they think that would go well?September 7 2005, 02:38:22 UTC 6 years ago
Re: not deena
Ohhh yeah, Cecelia. . . I get Simon's frigid hoes mixed up (especially since I mix Matt's sometimes-less-frigid hoes into the picture also).Did you notice that the twins' names are the same as the horses' names in the Little House books?

Re: not deena
Oh Kristy, how we should have taken a cue from Simon and told Nathan our real intention in working at Monical's was to fuck his daughter. We should ahve been upfront with our plan all along. Sigh.:-P How you doing though? Classes going well, etc.?

Re: not deena
Ew, isn't his daughter like 7 or something? Classes are...ugh. Why do we have to go to school again? Why can't we just be stupid?September 6 2005, 11:29:17 UTC 6 years ago
