And how is this any more "family friendly"?

I'm so sick and tired of Smucker's Star's on Ice hiding behind the phrase "family friendly" to excuse why the have chosen not to invite a sure-fire money making talent like Johnny Weir not to participate in their current tour

Amen, I couldn't agree more! Stars on Ice deciding not to have Johnny Weir just guaranteed that I will not be buying a ticket to see Stars on Ice.

As Johnny would say... "They can eat it."

last night, johnny was on joy behar's show. he said that he had never been asked to be a part of 'smucker's' so he wasn't surprised. i'm furious for him. i wonder...if brokeback had two well known gay men in the lead roles, instead of the very straight jake and heath, would this number be a part of the show? i'm fed up with homophobes!

This "family friendly" tag that TV shows and other entertainment outlets are waving around is ridiculously outdated and so blatantly false. We know that you don't want the ghey. Just say that you don't want the ghey, and intelligent consumers can at least give you points for honesty.

I've received more morally dubious messages from "family friendly" shows than from late night television and adult-rated material. The fundamental dubious message being that they're lying about being "family friendly".
