Hulu has pulled "19 Kids and Counting" from its lineup, following reports of sexual misconduct allegations against one of the stars, Josh Duggar, stemming from when he was a teenager.

Although the streaming-video service didn't confirm removal of the TLC series, episodes weren't found Thursday on the Hulu site, where they had been available as recently as Wednesday.

Over something 14 year old kid did? If he’d been in a secrete homo relationship they’d be all delighted. Liberals are some of the most intolerant sobs around. Its perfectly ok to chemically castrate and mutilate the genitals of perfectly normal young boys and girls in order to make them into a semblance of the opposite sex but can’t have a parent carrying out corporal punishment or take them to get counseling for unwanted sexual feelings.

This makes no sense. Why should Hulu care about controversy? It’s just another product in their pipeline.

"Josh Duggar did what?"

I don't know for sure and haven't watched TV for a long time, but I did read some of the comments under the story at another news site. Most of the comments looked vague and neutral. Comments from a few GLBT-whatever folks said that he, at the age of 14, played nasty with a girl or girls. From what they wrote, it appeared that they were really mad about it. It appeared that they hated the show for portraying women in women's roles or something like that.

Ah...come to remember a little more clearly, the GLBT commenters didn’t say anything about his age, but they did say the rest. They implied that he was much older but mostly complained about women playing women’s roles and that the show was somehow bad for GLBT-whatever “rights.” Only one other commenter mentioned his age.

What’s the big controversy about the show besides one of the actors playing nasty, when he was a kid? I don’t watch TV. Why are feminists ranting about the characters being “freaks?” Are they freaks?

I’ve not watched the show much but no they aren’t freaks. They are mostly normal and largely boring. If not for their large family they could be any church going Christian family. If they were “freaks” then the media would be in love.

Here is one clip:

There are plenty on youtube:

Ma and Pa Kettle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ma and Pa Kettle are comic film characters of the successful film series of the same name, produced by Universal Studios, in the late 1940s and 1950s. They are a hillbilly couple with fifteen children...


But the setting for the show was for an area west of New York and Florida states, an area believed by some people in northeastern states to be mythical and only existent in horror movies about people from the northeast going camping.

“Josh Duggar did what?
Well, I’ve never sinned before, so I’ll cast the first stone.”

Have you molested 3 of your sisters and 2 more younger girls, some as old as 5 year old, in multiple occasions? If so, you deserve the boulder.

” If not for their large family they could be any church going Christian family. “

How many child molesters and enablers are in your “Christian family”?
