"I Dream of Jeanie"

Last night Keith showed some clips of Fox whackjobs nattering about this issue, and the guy who it turned out wasn't wearing an Eddie Munster costume revealed how horribly traumatized he'd been as a kid by Barbara Eden's genie costume. His co-whackjobs teared up in sympathy over the horror of it all, of course. But as Keith pointed out, the guy probably hairy-palm traumatized himself a couple of times an episode; if only he'd had Tivo!

I'm not trying to play down the essential creepiness of 11-yo girls in fishnet stockings or French Maid outfits [shudder]. But it's hardly going to help for Fox and the far Right nutcases to "embrace" the issue by coating it in their own perverted view of sexuality. It only muddies the water to make people wonder which side of the issue is sickest.
