So What If MTV Televises Incest, It’s Just An Alternative Lifestyle, Right?

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – “After all, we’ve lost the capacity to stigmatize anyone for things that used to be no-brainers, having children out of wedlock and what have you, and engaging in certain homoerotic activities and what not.  Why should we draw a line here?  I mean, isn’t this just the next great frontier?  Aren’t we just being sticks in the mud and fuddy-duddies talking about this and getting our dander all worked up over this?  We should be looking at this through the eyes of liberty.  These people are just expressing their sexual liberty.” Check out today’s Clip of The Day and transcript for the rest…

Mike:  Here’s a headline, “Sandy, Randy Duo In Lewd Beach Romp Bust – Pair had sex in front of young girl, other witnesses.”  Oh, but don’t worry, they were probably just doing what would have earned them immunity on some MTV reality show, I imagine.  This is from TheSmokingGun.com: [reading] A Florida couple was arrested last night for having sex on the beach in front of numerous individuals, including a four-year-old girl and a witness who recorded the sandy tryst with a camera phone, according to police….

Mike Church Show Transcript Continues: Elissa Alvarez, a 20-year-old waitress, and Jose Caballero, a 39-year-old personal trainer, were each busted for felony lewd and lascivious exhibition on Cortez Beach in Bradenton. Alvarez, seen at right, and Caballero were each released from jail today after posting $7500 bond.

Cops were summoned to the beach by witness Emily Hall, who told officers that a Hispanic couple was “laying on a sheet next to her” when they “started to fondle each other.” In short order, Hall reported, the pair “started to have intercourse on the beach,” according to a probable cause affidavit.

Hall said she was “very upset” because her four-year-old daughter “witnessed the couple having sex.” [Mike: Well, you should have probably told her to look away or buried her under a sandcastle or something.] Six other witnesses filed complaint affidavits describing Alvarez’s and Caballero’s explicit beach performance. In fact, “One witness filmed the couple with a camera phone to be used as evidence for this complaint,” an officer noted.

Alvarez and Caballero are scheduled for an August 8 court appearance. Caballero, seen at left, is a convicted felon who spent about eight years locked up on a cocaine trafficking conviction (he was released last year from a Florida prison).

According to her Twitter account, Alvarez is a sand enthusiast: [Mike: Whatever that is] “I think with out the beach I seriously fall into a deep depression.” In a July 7 rumination, Alvarez noted, “Intimacy is very important in a relationship and I mean true genuine intimacy not just sex.”

Mike:  What makes people think that amongst crowds of individuals — now, I’m just going on a whim here and assuming that they were not drunk.  Outside of being intoxicated, what makes people think that you could possibly get away with behavior like this?  Well, what makes them think that they can’t get away with it?  What is this indecency that you refer to?  You know, things that were indecent and illegal a mere ten years ago in a majority of states are no longer illegal.  Hell, they’re no longer even discouraged.  See: sodomy laws.  Charges being filed for lewd and lascivious — well, what’s lewd?  Isn’t that up to the beholder of what is being witnessed?  Someone may go: That was lewd?  I was kind of enjoying it.  If this were a scene from the movie Hangover 4, this would be the most talked about scene out there.  Young men and middle-aged men would be telling the story of the scene while hanging out together, playing golf, throwing darts, barbecuing and what have you, and would probably have no problem with it other than that they weren’t there to witness it.

So instead of being repulsed by this, we should look at the bright side of this.  These people were just in love.  They were just in the throes of wanting to express what they have been told by their elite ruling masters and media moguls is appropriate and acceptable behavior these days.  After all, we’ve lost the capacity to stigmatize anyone for things that used to be no-brainers, having children out of wedlock and what have you, and engaging in certain homoerotic activities and what not.  Why should we draw a line here?  I mean, isn’t this just the next great frontier?  Aren’t we just being sticks in the mud and fuddy-duddies talking about this and getting our dander all worked up over this?  We should be looking at this through the eyes of liberty.  These people are just expressing their sexual liberty.  It’s their lifestyle.  If your kid didn’t like it, too bad.  You shouldn’t have been on the beach to start with.  How about that?

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, remember last week I reported to you that Australian judges are now saying that pedophilia is the next great battleground for sexual taboos that must be obliterated in our minds.  Then, after we’re done with pedophilia, let’s move on to incest, the next two that I prophesized would occur.  I didn’t have to wait very long.  Here’s the headline from Brett Bozell and Tim Graham, “Step Right Up to MTV’s Incest Plot.”  I’m reading from their piece at NewsBusters.

For those who predict the coming collapse of Western civilization, there’s always MTV for proof. At this year’s Television Critics Association summer tour in Hollywood, MTV put on a panel discussion for the press with the cast and creators of a forthcoming series called “Happyland.” The female star of the show, actress Bianca Santos, announced the new MTV motto: “Incest is hot, and we’re going to have fun!”

Lisa de Moraes at the Deadline Hollywood website reported the pilot episode of this “soapy teen comedy” — remember that: this is a show for teenagers — this show “exploring the underbelly of a popular theme park” includes a clip of Santos making out with the amusement park’s “new hottie,” only to discover… he’s her brother.

The assembled TV critics and reporters asked the obvious questions. “So, why the twist — why the brother and sister making out thing? How does that relate to the other things (in the show)?” And, “Without getting too heavily into spoilers, where does this go after she realizes it’s her brother?” [Mike: Notice that there’s no outrage feigned here. It’s just, “How does this pertain to the plot? Why am I supposed to be entertained by this?”]

We all know the answer to number one. The incest “twist” is MTV digging ever deeper for their precious “edge” until they’ve dulled the shock of every perversion. The show’s creator, Ben Epstein, boosted the notion that this was like a fairy tale of the handsome prince sweeping a maiden off her feet, and he just adds the “MTV edge to it, and makes it all weird and crazy.” That’s when Santos blurted “Incest is hot, and we’re going to have fun!”

But, mercifully for the rest of us, for once, the critics weren’t happy with this plot. “She kissed him and they are siblings. That does not sound complicated. That sounds horrifying,” one TV critic proclaimed.

“I understand you’re all trying to get off the incest thing,” another TV critic noticed. “No, please, bring it back – we haven’t had enough,” one of the actors (unnamed in the de Moraes report) shot back. The critic replied, “Look, I didn’t put it in the pilot” . . .[/private]

At that point, the executive producers, well-known gay activists Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, tried to cast doubt on the “edge,” insisting that it’s possible these kissing characters might be brother and sister, and they might not.  “They basically kissed….nothing sexual happened,” Zadan argued.

But the show’s star Santos kept babbling joyously about the “holy crap” moment when the kissing-sibling plot is revealed.

Mike:  Again, nothing shocking going on here, just another day at the old push the envelope and eradicate another moral taboo from our collective consciousness.  That’s all that’s going on here.  We just need to get over our hang-ups, in other words.  Stop being so darned prudish.  I mean, come on, what’s the big deal?  What sister hasn’t kissed a brother passionately and with lust in her eyes?  Haven’t you all read Flowers In The Attic?  Ladies and gentlemen, the wrecking ball – yes, written by Miley Cyrus – that is being taken to any sense of decency continues to smash those walls down with little protest and with little shock.  As one of my friends suggested, this is just reason 4,919,432 as to why you pull the plug on cable and satellite television.  It remains to be seen just how popular this sort of thing will be when it’s broadcast on MTV this fall, although I suspect that it will be far more popular than re-runs of Touched By An Angel.
