I've never even heard of Breaking Bad. I saw a promo for the finale of the Newlywed Show -- some sort of competition.... it looked rather strange. Then right after that I saw a promo for a give away show with Oprah -- never heard of it!


I've never watched Breaking Bad. I saw a promo (AMC) and saw that he was cooking crystal meth and I was like "Um...no thanks". I mean I've seen most everything (including most everything HBO did) and I guess cooking crystal meth is a place I don't want to go as a viewer.

I evidently don't watch enough television.


Me neither. All I watch is sports and a handful of Discovery channel shows.

Oh! I went over to MAD to look and Orpheus started a thread on moderation titled "Warning -- Low tolerance moderating"

I'd post it here, but I'm afraid I'd be banned. :(

Seems like the mods have their collective cranky pants on over there:

If you are asked for documentation GIVE IT or stop arguing and get out of the thread. A bunch of posters better clean it up super fast or hit the cyber road.


Oops - now it's closed:

Someone better give a headsup to Smac then, he posts a thread for everything an LDS person (or just about any type of religous thread) does that can be hyperlinked to. Oh yeah he's a mod...Rhadical!

I trust the gospel writers on this: if she was to remarry she committs adultery.

No kidding - to analyze a marriage (to Tarski's disfavor) about which he knows nothing as a rebuttal to Tarski's statement? Not cool.

LOAP - I second Monitor's ass. Er, I mean what she said.

Ok, ok, I SAID I was ashamed to be watching the show. It truly is evil. I blame my boyfriend, he exposed me to it, and I just happened to see it on again tonight. But the problem is that I received positive reinforcement since it was actually something interesting this time, versus just someone willing to ruin their life for money.

I do think this particular LDS girl was strange. Come on! She admits to sexual fantasies about her girlfriend, defends it as normal, and admits she'd pose nude for a magazine... but leave her husband if he left the church!?!?!? He had such a stricken look on his face it made me wonder if he's had "issues" with the church anyway.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.
