Is anyone else disgusted by this new "game" on Oxygen? It's called "Can You Tell?" Some of the categories are: Virgin or Slut? Pregnant or Fat? Hair or Toupee?

Is this funny? Is this what we've come to?

I've heard of Oxygen...there's this one animated show that comes on there that I've been meaning to see because the main chara is Flip.

But anyway, I haven't seen it...yet, from what you've told me, I'm very appalled...0_0

But if it's other women making disgusting comments, it's not derrogatory, it's empowering! :P

most of what's on tv these days is pretty twisted in some way or another. thing is though, how many of us aren't playing those games silently anyway? i'm not saying it's all good and groovy, because i do think that televising it is like saying all that judgement is ok and that is probably a really oppressive thing to do, but i think i fault the producrers and creators more for not thinking about the larger implications than i do for thinking of the show to begin with. thinking of the show makes total sense, not thinking about what it is doing to people is another story. of course, that's usually where corporate america fails, isn't it?
