Reality bites reality show

By Capt. Fogg

I think we have to hold this truth self-evident: bigotry doesn't pay. Bible-based or not, and even expressed in private, racism, homophobia, and bigotry can cost you almost everything. Nobody will hire you other than Fox News and other GOP franchises.

David and Jason Benham were about to get their own HGTV "reality" TV series until it came out on Right Wing Watch that David, one of the twin Biblievers, had been ranting outside the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2012 about "homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation" and "demonic ideologies" taking hold in colleges and public schools. Hot Potato time again at HGTV. Gay people and people who are tired of people who rant about what their toothless old threadbare god hates watch HGTV and in sufficient numbers that bigotry doesn't pay.

Hey, who said the market doesn't sometimes correct itself? Who says capitalism can't force bad products off the market?

Hey, that reality real enough for ya?
