April 28, 200421 yr April 28, 2004 -- A giant-sized controversy is brewing over a baby adoption special on "20/20" - and sending ABC execs into a tailspin. Millions of viewers across the country watched in surprise over the weekend as the network aired a sensational promo for Friday's segment, which pits five desperate couples against each other for the privilege of adopting a 16-year-old's baby. A very personal, intimate process was made to look like a reality-show contest, with prospective parents dubbed "winners" and "losers." Link to NY Post Article
April 28, 200421 yr My wife and I saw that and were outraged. This is sick. A sign of the amoral times we live in.
April 28, 200421 yr This makes me sick as well. A good friend of mine and his wife have been trying for years to adopt. They would be great parents. They should be imprisoned for child endangerment.
April 28, 200421 yr Why not just put the baby on Ebay? Might as well... s*** like this is discusting. Might as well see how many other people we can exploit while we are at it.
April 28, 200421 yr This is the same network that brings us "Extreme Makeover", where viewers are more or less encouraged to feel bad about their looks and become "fake", and "The Bachelor", where one woman makes out with and possibly beds many men over a couple weeks. Not exactly PAX TV.
April 28, 200421 yr "The Bachelor", where one woman makes out with and possibly beds many men over a couple weeks. Not exactly PAX TV. Well sure, that's wrong but when the guy does it it's great television.
April 28, 200421 yr Link to NY Post Article OOOOOOOOOO You can keep the money........Just give me the baby!!!!
April 28, 200421 yr I f***ing hate "reality tv"! It's endemic of the "dumbing down" of America; why pay writers to write intelligent screenplays, scripts, etc. when we can watch crap like "Joe Millionaire" and "Who Wants to Marry a Midget"? Just give me the "5 Ss"...Sopranos, The Shield, The Simpsons, Sports, and the Sox!
April 28, 200421 yr To Hell with the baby -- how about winners recieve the sexually promiscuent, low self-esteem 16 y.o. --- Where do I sign up?
April 28, 200421 yr Just give me the "5 Ss"...Sopranos, The Shield, The Simpsons, Sports, and the Sox! ahem, you forgot the best one, Seinfeld!
