Scrubbed

This may be from 2003, but it's never too late to bitch about the Parents Television Council bitching about something. In this instance, it's an episode of Scrubs:

JD’s friend Elliott is being courted to join the gynecological team at the hospital. JD sees the attractive team of gynecologists walking down the hall and daydreams about the four of them having a pillow fight while wearing sexy negligees. They stop fighting and are about to kiss when his daydream is interrupted. His fantasy concludes with one girl saying, “I’m glad we all finally experimented on each other, but I’ll never do it again,” implying that they just had lesbian group sex.

Later, she complains to Carla about the pressure being put on her to specialize in Obstetrics and gynecology. “Those gyno girls are putting a lot of pressure on me. We must have looked at a hundred women’s bajingos today. Bajingo, bajingo, bajingo. I can’t even look at my own bajingo.” Carla retorts, “Is that because it looks so much like a vagina?”

This inappropriate material was incidental to the main plot of the episode, which dealt with Dr. Cox being forced to choose between his sexy, if somewhat promiscuous girlfriend Julie (played by guest star Heather Locklear), and his pregnant and somewhat promiscuous ex-wife, Jordan.

...

This kind of “comedy” is more repulsive and sad than anything. The thought that a man is choosing between a relationship with a woman who slept with all his colleagues and an ex-wife he believes to be carrying another man’s child, is depressing. The sleaziness of the girlfriend offering a threesome with the pregnant ex isn’t funny, it is embarrassing.

Oh yeah? Well what I find sleazy is the ignoring of that fact that he chooses his pregnant ex-wife in the end. Isn't that a good thing? He's willing to forgive the prodigal wife, pregnant with what turns out to his kid?

The best thing about this article is it's full of great quotes. I couldn't have found the proper spelling of "bajingo" without it. Be assured, "bajingo" is now safety tucked away in my computer's spell-checker for future need.

The PTC's slogan plastered across the top of their page is "because our children are watching". WELL WHY AREN'T YOU WATCHING THEM. Stop complaining about shows you don't like, and go make your own if you're so dissatisfied with everything's that on TV. Oh, that's right, nobody watches PAX-TV.
