Tonight I was at home watching the olympics with my mom and sister when a television commercial came up. It was a sneak peek at a new show that was coming soon called "The New Normal." I recognized from the picture an actor that I had found to be funny in past films so I watched the trailer. I soon found myself disgusted by the story line of the show.
Two men are in a relationship together and want to have a child, they find this woman who is willing to conceive a child for them and they develop a family of their own.
The title of this show reflects exactly where American society is heading. The New Normal. What does that mean? In our society it is becoming normal and acceptable to have families like this. Two dad's. This is becoming the norm of America. It has become so normal that people are willing to make a show about it and consider it comedy! Is it so normal that we can laugh about it?
