Nip/Tuck

These is an F/X show that my guess is something you either love or consider to be nothing short of pornography and hate. Well, then again, maybe you might love it because it is just basically porno. And as much as I see reasoning to hate this show, I love it. I realize that a show such as this on TV is really kinda crazy, even if it is on nighttime cable only. It can still be watched by anyone. I have yet to see a written warning stop anyone.

Before I come off as jumping on a socially moral bandwagon I have to make it clear: I really like this show. I really like Julian Campbell (since his Profiler days actually). I know it is trashy, sleazy, provacative to the point of x rated, and unrealistic, but I love it, perhaps for those very reasons.

Would I, and do I, let my girls watch it? Hell, no. I do have some scruples. But I, myself, even have it programmed into my DVR should I be out of the house (plus I love skipping the commercials). Do I think that the show should be so easily accessible? Not really. However, I'm glad it is because I can't afford the more expensive programming packages. So out of pure selfishness, I hope they keep it on.

I consider myself to be a moral, loving, mature and reasonable person. But I am also human. I, personally, do not like pornography. I don't find it entertaining in the least. It's crude, has no plot (unrealistic or not) and the men are ugly. Plus, I don't really want to see people having sex, I just want to see them pretending to, and only on this show. It's everything a porno isn't to me. It's filmed well, has plot and the men are stunning. I swear I would pay money to see Julian Campbell's butt. However, praise F/X, I don't have to.

Nip/Tuck has the ability to satisfy whatever sexual, carnal hunger you might have, but still have classy filming, good acting and none of the deragatory effects of porno. It satisfies that taboo side of me.

I realize at this moment I have probably succeeded in offending a great deal of people. I understand. I can accept one might being offended by the show, and by my opinion of it. It's America. Thankfully, we have that freedom. So, hate it if you must, hate me if you must. But hate my right to love this trashy show and you may as well be hating our Constitution.

That said, if you might still feel the need to comment right now on how blasphemous and shameful me and/or the show is, go ahead. I won't delete your comments. This is America. And though you might not respect my freedom of speech, I will definitely respect yours.

Until next time, Sissy
