The assault on men continues.
The media will implode if they can’t ridicule and demonize males, the last group which can be made fun of with society’s okay. So this protest is going nowhere.
Perhaps it would be best if they would pay the child support for their children.
“Perhaps it would be best if they would pay the child support for their children.”
Didn’t the article say the states records were incorrect in 92% of the cases? There are many reasons that child support is a problem. Playing it out on reality TV solves none of them.
For example, a recent Massachusetts audit found that the arrearages were incorrect in 92% of that state's cases.
That does not mean that 92% of the dads on the list do not really owe child support but rather that in 92% of the cases the amount owed is not exactly what is indicated on the state's records.
Pay your child support and you won’t have to worry about such assaults.
Men have to pay even if:
They lose their jobs
The ex spends support on new clothes, car, beer for new boyfriend
The ex screws them on visitation (meaning he pays but she gives no visits)
etc
The majority of men do pay and of the ones that don't only a percentage are truly deadbeat dads. Thanks for buying into the feminist propaganda
God FORBID they demonize people who NEED demonizing (read: ISLAM WORSHIPPERS). Hell, the assault on MANkind (excluding "pseudo-men"--homosexuals, metros, death cult worshippers, euroweenies, ethnic minorities, etc) is so blatant that it is actually comical to imagine anyone denying it.
I hope next year there's a follow-up program exposing the plethora of women who use their ex's "child support" payments as a personal expense account to pick up all the stuff their live-in boyfriends don't buy them.
That would be fun.

So if they are wrong Fox gets sued for slander and or libel. Thats if someone doesn’t get shot.
I remember a campaign to put pictures of fathers behind on child support on pizza boxes. The theory is that these dads would order pizza, see themselves on the box and be ashamed.
But, I wondered, what if the man's KID saw his dad on the pizza box? Say the kid was at a friends house, the friend's parents order pizza, and "Hey, isn't that a picture of your dad on the pizza box?"
Children of separated parents have tenuous self-respect as it is, and a kid will always identify with its parent, regardless of that parent's issues. I would think a kid would be ashamed, indeed, if he were to come across something like that.
It was just a plain stupid idea.
Then it occurred to me, it has NEVER been about the kids. Like this show, this guy is drumming up business - he takes 34% of what he collects. It's about the money.
"Next to the last group," you mean. Southerners still (regrettably) hold the undisputed gold medal, in that particular competition.
Why be sexist here, Fox? Include people like my ex....SHE never paid a dime!
“I hope next year there’s a follow-up program exposing the plethora of women who use their ex’s “child support” payments as a personal expense account to pick up all the stuff their live-in boyfriends don’t buy them.”
Oh cmon we know women never do anything wrong, mistreat their kids or lie in order to screw their ex husbands. /sarc
A friend of mine got divorced. He got custody with visitation. She showed up about 10% of the time. The times she did show up she was either high or drunk. She didn’t pay her child support as her work (fortune telling) was cash based and didn’t get reported.
Perhaps these things should be worked out in court and not in front of a million viewers seeking a cheap thrill.
But hey with Fox they can generate divorces and then make money on the mess left behind.
You think these protests are bad?
CBS will soon air “Toxic Predatory Females”.
Then the poop is REALLY gonna hit the propeller!
...and I, for one, wouldn’t wanna be the guy water-skiing behind the boat when THAT happens!
“God FORBID they demonize people who NEED demonizing (read: ISLAM WORSHIPPERS).”
Fox’s new show : Bad Jihadis.
Yeah, we’ll see that one soon.
If a male is going to make the decisions to have a child with a woman, than he needs to also accept responsibility for that child.
If he loses his job, get another job. Your first priority is to feed your child and after your child is feed you can feed yourself.
I would have no problem with that.
