Scary TV

Except for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", my TV rarely changes station from TLC ("The Learning Channel", which is really just a lot of "reality" shows that aren't quite so gratuitous as "Survivor" or "Fear Factor" or the like).

On right now is "Maternity Ward", which is an hour of film taken of actual women delivering babies in a hospital. Women screaming, women moaning, women getting epidurals and C-sections ... Everything that makes me have no regrets about not having children! LOL -- WHY do women sign up for this????

Among the stories tonight, there was a stellar family of a 17-year-old pregnant girl who insisted on NO pain medication (not even a Tylenol) to teach her a lesson and to discourage future pregnancies. Nice, huh? I expect if I were to open the dictionary, their family portrait would be illustrating the "dysfunctional". Not there? Check under "beastly" ...

Off to bed now.
