What kind of family?

Okay...Josh and I just about died yesterday evening. We were eating our dinner like we always do (at the coffee table watching TV instead of at the brand new kitchen table and chairs we just purchased), and after flipping through several channels, we decided on the ABC Family Channel, which was airing "8 Simple Rules." We caught it toward the end of the show, but decided to keep watching, as "That 70's Show" was next in the line-up. I kinda thought about that for a minute...what's so "family" about a group of teenagers sitting around in a basement filled with an unnamed, yet obvious, smokey "substance?" But...whatever. Then we saw this little blip before the show:


It was kind of hard to get a picture, because it goes by so fast. But if you can't read it, it says "The following program contains material that may not be suitable for younger viewers. Parental discretion is advised."

Parental advisory on the family channel? That's like playing Alice Cooper on the Christian radio station.

But the last part is the real punchline: The ABC logo is missing because I couldn't get the picture at the right moment, but it says "ABC family: a new kind of family."

Fabulous!
