Idiots on Parade......
I realize it's the so-called "religious right", but still the utter sillyness of this guy's podcast reviews strikes me as stupid.

"A Prairie Home Companion, the news from Lake Wobegon
Given the Baby Boomer and older demographic of the program I was surprised to find the Liberal slanted "wobegon monologs" among those listened to by teenagers. The program originated with American Public Radio, and the traditional liberal slant is obvious. Traditional values and small town life are mocked every week.
Delete it if you see it, but don't panic. It just means your kid likes drivel or dislikes Lutherans."
Funny, PHC usually tends to celebrate small town humour and life.
"Polyamory Weekly
This is easily the most dangerous and socially destructive podcast I've ever heard. The program is about Polyamory, the practice of having multiple sexual partners, provided everyone consents and knows what's going on. It advocates just about every form of perversion you can imagine and the host frequently decries the fact that group marriages aren't legal in the United States.
The program is not the most sexually explicit, nor is it the most offensive. It's dangerous because the program seeks to normalize Homosexuality, Bisexuality, wife swapping, bondage and a host of other unChristian behaviors. They side AGAINST the Mormons who want to legalize underage brides, but if all those Mormon brides are 18 or older, they're all for it.
If your child is listening to Polyamory Weekly, then I recommend you respond as if you'd found deviant magazines in their possession. Do not react with anger, as that will only make matters worse, but respond with Christian love and understanding. Your child has been exposed to dangerous and radical ideas, and needs help with the confusion of ideas that such exposure can create."
You know dude, I know many polys who ARE Christian. For that matter, are far more Christian than you will ever hope to be.
The whole blog has a "the stupid, it burns" feel to it.
