Does HBO Think Child Abuse Is Funny?

(WND.com) Cable network HBO has often portrayed programming too “mature” for the broadcast airwaves, but its latest offering has some critics complaining the company has gone too far.

HBO’s irreverent mockumentary “Angry Boys” is under fire for combining child actors and phallic humor, including one scene in the series’ 12th episode, where a little girl drinks from a water bottle shaped like a giant, pink penis.

“The incident is meant to be comedic,” writes Joe Wilson of the Media Research Center’s Culture and Media Institute, or MRC. “But showing a young girl sucking on a penis in a comedic fashion is akin to showing child pornography.”

He continues in an MRC article on the show, “Penis humor is a major premise of ‘Angry Boys.’ Out Magazine reported that the show features a Japanese mother exploiting her teenage son ‘to create a merchandising empire of cock-shaped products.’ In one episode, according to Out Magazine, the mother (played by a male, the creator and director of the show, Chris Lilley) unscrewed a pink plastic penis and shook it [for] parmesan cheese.”

  2. And they wonder why those in the Middle East dislike us so much. It's not so much or politics or Conservatives, it's the Liberal Hollywood TV and Movies that have been broadcast in their nations for decades and it keeps getting worse. It's ironic, but when asked a few years ago, most said they(arabs) would close the NYT and thought people like Madonna and Brittany Spears were the most dangerous influence on their children. Years ago they got shows like Mr Ed and Gunsmoke, now we're giving them HBO.

  4. They should be prosecuted for child pornography. Anyone else would be.
