    For The Duggars next of kin is the best of skin.

    I don't think this will knock them off the air. If anything the audience will double down in its support. My wife watches this show occasionally so I see it more than I would like to, even if it affords me the opportunity to use my "its a birth canal not a waterslide" line each and every time.

    Even though their views are opposite of my own there is so much crap on TV that I find these people relatively harmless.

    I would think that "harmless" designation goes out the window now that they're known to take the Sandusky/Paterno route of child molesting and abetting said child molesting, no?

    Yeah, bad wording on my part. Meant that they were harmless, not so much now.

    Isn't this the family that frowns on hand holding until they're engaged? And I'm only slightly exaggerating.

    Good thing all these kids are home schools and taught right from wrong so that they don't go out into the world and mix with the wrong sort and all.
     
  6. The fan base is already doubling down.. judging by my FB feed.

    Big fans of pedophile incest, eh?

    No mercy on those sanctimonious prigs. They get to own this one.

    You aren't exaggerating at all. They can't even hug who they are courting until the wedding day.

    It's always shocking when we give freaks and weirdos a TV show and then later find out they are freaks and weirdos.

    I'm sure there are some ultra-conservatives who thinks that's refreshing, but it's not healthy.

    There's also pictures of the molester in question with several of the republican presidential candidates.

    Not that candidates should be held responsible for the behavior of every person they take a photo with, but it's still not good.

    I was just going to post an example of that Facebook doubling-down by one of my ultra-conservative friends, but it appears she has since deleted the post. So maybe that "support" isn't as rock-solid as I once thought.

    The content of the post was along the lines of, "Oh, so TLC should only have shows featuring people who are completely free of sin?" or something like that.
