Lawsuit Dropped, Justice Restored
We can all breathe a sigh of relief now that New Mexico authorities have dropped their case against CBS and there morally just and noble reality series, Kid Nation, Apparently unable to find any criminally negligent behavior. And this isn’t all that surprising, its not like this is the first time the media has inflamed a situation for ratings, especially when the headline besmirches one of their competitors.
And really, if you just look at the surface elements of the story, the whole thing was just preposterous. I mean, when have corporations ever been known to use children and circumvent labor laws? It’s absurd to even suggest. Corporations are our superiors, they have more money, therefore the people who run them are better people. That’s irrefutable. New Mexico officials will be lucky if God doesn’t smite them for trying to involve their betters.
They look malnourished.
We have yet to watch the show, but we’re sure it’s just good clean fun and absolutely nothing salacious took place. They were cleared of all charges and should be acknowledged as such, but the head of the article calling the whole fiasco “much ado about nothing”, might be a little unnecessary. If law enforcement had good reason to believe the show was misusing its participants, and all those participants are between the ages of 8 and 15, I think the American public would appreciate some insight.
It appears that a thorough investigation was done, nothing illegal or improper was found (other than the entire premise of the show) and no permanent harm was caused to any of the involved parties. So, keep on keeping on, Kid Nation. this is obviously the type of series that we thought would show up on FOX, but CBS really stepped up to the plate on this one; lowering the bar for standards just a little bit more.
We’ll try to come back with something a little more uplifting after lunch.
