Not so funny...

[ticosmyham]

I was watching America's Funniest Home Videos and was appauled at how much animal cruelty was on the show! Some examples are:

- A girl accidentally hits her dog (maltese?) with a baseball bat or some sort of wooden stick on the head while trying to hit a pinate. The audience roared with laughter and the video won the grand prize of 10,000 dollars.

-A mom is holding a small child and has a cockateil on her shoulder. The baby grabs the birds head and rips out the crest. The camera shows the feathers on the floor then gets a shot of the poor bird.

-A cat climbs onto a celing fan, they turn the fan on, and the cat flies across the room and hits the wall.

-A toy poodle breaks both front legs, so not wanting to put pressure on them, it has to walk around on it's hind legs. The owner, instead of carrying him, decides it would be funny to tape this for a half an hour. the poor pup!


And these are just a few! Horrible stuff, huh?

[KYS]

That is disgusting. I am surprise animal right groups
have not complained to the station.

That's the mentality of people now. Too much inbreeding?? I hate that show. Don't watch it. For one thing, the narrating is so stupid that if I do watch it, I mute the sound. I like the funny animal videos on Animal Planet.

That is why I hate that show. I'd much rather stick with The Planet's Funniest Animals, altough, Matt Gallant drives me INSANE!

[primabella]

I hate that host! I mute him and watch the videos! He's so annoying and the fake audience is so...dumb.

[Amber]

yeah I seen those..It's not funny I cant believe people would do this. It makes me very angry! Like I seen this one with a little boy having a hamster on his head and the hamster falls into coffee! I didnt think it was funny at all!

A sometimes more effective avenue of complaint is to
write to the show's ADVERTISERS!
If you reference the ADS you saw and threaten to NEVER PURCHASE their product as long as they sponsor this activity - THAT sometimes gets their attention.
Too many complaints and the advertiser WILL have changes made in the show.

I have never seen any of this, but it sounds horrible. How do people think this kind of stuff is funny? Its not!
