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.

From the network that gave us the show that gave us the show, “Psycho Dad.”

"The worst part about Bad Dads is the way it publicly humiliates children of divorce by depicting their fathers as not loving or caring for them. These children did not volunteer to be humiliated on national television."

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.

noncustodial mothers are 20% more likely to default on their child support obligations than noncustodial fathers

Anecdotal evidence from me: My wife's mother bailed on her when my wife was 16...even though she had legal custody. Just dumped my wife on her father. Never paid a dime of any form of child support and she hasn't been heard from since. My wife is now 31.

Shouldn’t they call the show “Bad White Dads”? I mean Fox is going to have to be real careful here.
