Need to add Love Actually.

Unbelievably Often named as a family film.

An adult film. not for children. Adultry. Pornographic simulated sex and other adult themes including homosexuality

People ask me why we no longer have cable TV and subscribe to no streaming services.

I do not understand the question.

My wife used to watch the Hallmark Channel every December as they have literally hundreds of Christmas movies going nonstop.

The basic plot is that a city girl goes back home to the country for Christmas and meets a rugged guy. They fall in love and the girl gives up her city job to stay in the country and they live happily ever after.

She hasn't watched that channel in a few years and now I think I know why.

Wasn’t “Rent” that play about hookers trying to make enough money not to end up in shelters?

NBC must be a rats nest of child abusers at this point.

It sure seems the holiday male co-stars on Hallmark and Great American Family movies are gay. There is usually a gay couple at least in the background of every movie.

Very creative replies in a field that’s hard to parody, being it’s own joke and insult to Christ’s birth celebration. For Thanksgiving I proposed a third table besides the Kid’s one set not far aside; set as far in the back yard or wherever from the civilized people: the “Woke Table” where they get ‘tofurkey’ and wine spritzers that won’t overwhelm their delicate sensibilities.

Same for Christmas but I want them passed out on stronger stuff so the kids get to draw on their faces. Now who’s not promoting the holiday spirit and teaching values at the same time?

The Q stands for questioning. In other words those who are not yet fully blown homo and just wondering what they are. The youth basically. I’m embarrassed I even know this stuff but FR provides a lot of intelligence on our enemies.
