DWTS fans will just have to get over their bigotry

[scheming daemons]

I'm a fan of the show, as is my wife.


There's no reason that Chaz Bono shouldn't be able to participate in the show.


The bigots don't want to watch? fuck 'em.

[zappaman]

1. It boggles my mind

that ANYONE watches that shit.

[scheming daemons]

2. It's a fun escape.

[Little Star]

7. I always watch DWTS. I enjoy the show as do many others.

[alarimer]

22. It shows how stupid this country really is.

It is why everything will only continue to get worse and worse. We ARE an idiocracy.

[Safetykitten]

3. This would really make a mess, but have Vick on the same show. Hilarity!

[Rex]

4. So they let a KNOWN criminal (Tom Delay) on the show no

problem...but now there is one, because people are narrowminded bigots! I'm sorry, but I could't support that show and never will after they showed their true colors.

[scheming daemons]

5. The show *IS* putting Chaz Bono on... they're not the bigots, their more narrow-minded fans are

[sandyj999]

6. It's entertainment for those of us that don't want to worry

all the time about the stock market, social security and medicare. And Chaz has just as much right as anyone to be on there.

8. Far more upsetting is that harridan

Nancy Grace. God, that thing makes my blood boil!

[bbgrunt]

9. yikes--I thought you were referring to Nancy Grace!

[Initech]

10. Seriously, let Chaz be on the show! Fuck the bigots!

[leftstreet]

11. But doesn't the show basically sell heterosexual romance?

I'm not sure, but doesn't the program only feature couples, no individuals like ballet or tap dancers?

It's always sounded like a virtual school prom to me.

[FreeState]

17. Chaz is a heterosexual man n/t

[spinbaby]

12. Yeah

Fat people can dance, too.

[applegrove]

13. Her mom is a great actress and singer but I don't think she's ever been known to be a dancer.

I wonder if Chaz will be any good. Because I'd like to see him last a long time on that show. He's very brave.

[jmowreader]

14. Chaz is a guy. You're using "her" and "she" to refer to Cher, right?

[applegrove]

15. Sorry. Fixed it. My bad.

[jmowreader]

16. They need to change the name of that show...

from "Dancing with the Stars" to "Shark Jumping with the Stars."

They've had Tom DeLay, Bristol Palin and now Nancy Grace on that show. Does anyone besides teabaggers and people to the right of them give a shit about any of those people? Or how well they can dance?

[nolabear]

19. What a charming reply. You must be so proud.

[ZombieHorde]

18. You should check out So You Think You Can Dance. Awesome dancers

doing amazing things. Here are two good dances from last season, not my favorite dances, nor my favorite season, but still good.

Brandon and Jennette were one of my favorite couples of all time...

20. I dip in and out of the show but I usually get attached to somebody

and man, I hope this time it's Chaz. He's a hard one to read and I'd like to see him being expressive. AND I'm glad they're taking on gender issues with him. As the saying goes, "Deal with it!" It's a benign place to begin that process and I hope they spend some time talking about it.

21. I'm surprised they're not screaming about Carson Kressley

I mean, he was was on a show called "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". He's as out as Bruno. Perhaps more so.

I'm more disappointed about the Flaming Nostrils of Doom. I hope they have her dancing to "Dirty Laundry."
