A “Cash Cab” taxi struck and killed a pedestrian in Vancouver when a technical staff member was driving the replica cab back to the lot after filming on the Canadian version of the game show wrapped for the day.
The staff member crashed into a 61-year-old man crossing the street and the man died in the hospital soon after the accident Friday, police said. The family of the Surrey man has requested that his name not be released…
The trivia game show pays out cash to unassuming passengers who correctly answer questions for the duration of their commute. Adam Growe, a comedian and a licensed taxi driver, hosts the Canadian version of the mobile show. He was not driving the cab at the time of the accident, which is reportedly the worst in the show’s history.
It is atrocious that nonnormal behavior is being touted in Public in the name of Freedom of Choice,expression.
Television channels with an eye of TRP rating air these programs.
New York has legalized Gay Marriages.On my comment in the TIME on this subject, I have received comments where(never mind personal attacks on me,I do not respond to them any way),I have noticed that the self-professed Homosexuals do not even recognize that this behavior is not normal and go on to question Normal Behavior.
While it is warranted that Gays/Lesbians be given leeway for their behavior and the Family needs to be supportive and Society ensure their Safety and desist from ridiculing them, this should not be taken to the extreme of glorifying an abnormal behavior especially when they refuse to accept that their behavior is not normal and in most cases refuse Counseling even.
Too liberal attitude may result in the acceptance and glorification of Abnormal behavior.
Coming to the TV show, what exactly do these people and the TV station want to convey?
That Homosexuality is normal and needs promotion, especially among children?
Do these people who ai these programs not have a Family or are all of them of the same ilk?
I was puzzled by a comment in the TIME on’ Gay Marriage Legal in New York’ that these laws are passed because most of the decision makers are Homosexuals.
By not taking action against TV Station and producers of this show might confirm that Media is following the law makers.
I will receive hate mails. spewing venom for these views.
In fact Newsvine of MSNBC removed my article for my views.
Medicine may be bitter for children.
Parents can not help prescribing .
A series of clever yet risque promos for a Britishreality show about a group of Londonlesbians has sparked an investigation by a UK media regulator. The promos for Candy Bar Girls, a reality show about the “lives and loves” of six lesbians living in London’s Soho neighborhood, have received at least ten complaints about their mildly racy content airing during daytime hours when kids could be watching. As the Guardian reports, “each of the on-air promos for the new reality show feature teasing close-up images that appear to be of two women engaged in sexual activity, intercut with lines such as ‘Red… hot… lesbians’ and ‘Pussy… loving… ladies’” only to pull back and reveal innocent activities, such as working out, playing chess, or petting a cat.
Homosexuality is quite ancient and references may be found in all Religious texts.
They are best left alone.
The best way to help them is not to ridicule them.
They need psychiatric help.
Otherwise justifying their behavior that they are made that way or that they could not help it is nothing but sheer non sense.
If we buy this argument, any immoral activity can be justified including murder and rape for murder/rape may make some one happy,.
Do we legalize it?
Who will take care of their children if they adopt?
You can not say that they will not need children.
You are making a mistake.
Human beings by nature demand progeny.
How will these children grow up with out normal family life, or with out the affection of a Mother?
You will be producing depressed individuals who may turn out to be antisocials.
I have no answer to those who try to debate what is normal, abnormal,what is Morality etc.
History will judge this Bill .
When New York‘s state Senate passed the bill, 33-to-29, cheers of “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” erupted in the chamber. The historic vote followed an 80-to-63 vote in the state Assembly last week (the fourth time the lower house had passed a marriage equality bill) — and more than a week of parliamentary maneuvers by conservatives and Republicans to keep the bill from coming to a vote. In the end, the Senate passed the bill into law despite a Republican majority and despite the G.O.P. making gains in the 2008 election. Although gay marriage has yet to win a single statewide referendum, its legislative success in New York on Friday shows that it is quickly advancing in nearly every other way, from legal victories in California courts and throughout the federal judiciary to an increasingly enthusiastic ally in the White House.
It is atrocious that non
