America's funniest home videos-not so funny.
Posted Wed, 09/23/2009 - 16:24 — AEChic09I am sorry, but I was just watching America's Funniest Home Videos, they were funny, funny, cute, blah, but then I watched the horse falls. I am an eventer. It's like a horse triathalon. I do dressage, cross-country, and stadium. Those of you who don't know what it is, look it up. I saw most of the horse falls. In many of them, the horse fell with the rider. This is very serious-not something I enjoy watching. Then a woman sitting on a horse's head. That could be abusive, their necks aren't strong enough to hold a large woman. I would hope that ABCFamily would not want to associate with animal abuse, mistreatment, or mocking of people who are serious riders. I also heard one of people cursing-sure it was censored, but nothing I want to listen to. And right now, there are naked grown men riding on a fourwheeler. This is ABCFamily, not ABCExplicit. I'm very uncomfortable with most of this. Along with your newest shows-they refer to sex and teenage pregnancy in every other word. I would expect that something like this would be fixed. I don't plan to watch ABCFamily any longer.

I agree with you but things are not going to change. AFV and Secret Life are BY FAR the highest rated shows on the network. ABC Family knows it will lose tons of viewers if it gets rid of (or changes) them. The videos might have offended you (and sorry for that) but ABCFam obviously thinks most are laughing at it. And Secret Life is a major money maker and ABC Family will not tinker with the show. They also bend the rules on the SL forum. They don't want to alienate fans or lose money. It's not gonna change. Sorry.
