I was watching a bit of Goodfellas yesterday afternoon when I noticed the name of the cable channel at the bottom of the screen, Lifetime. You know, that chick channel that shows all the stuff your mom/sister/girlfriend watches, but you run away screaming from. What gives?

What's next? Is Spike TV going to show the Martha Stewart story?

Is that the version where Joe Pesci gives the guy in the trunk a pizza?

No, it's still the version where Karen Hill goes down on Henry Hill for her weekly allowance. I'm glad it's reinforcing femenist ideals. ;)

Not that surprising, considering the men in the movie are bad people who do bad things. That's what the channel's about, right?

Hmm, interesting. So, instead of empowering women and addressing womens rights and the like, this channel really is more focused on showing that men are scum?

Most of the movies they show on the channel are about men who are bad people and the women who overcome them.

Just watch their movies and shows and you'll see. That channel's ultimate goal is to make a man-hater out of you.

The Lifetime message is that all men who commit adultery are evil bastards and all women who commit adultery were justified by their husbands emotional detachment and only do it because their new partner is the TRUE love of their life.

I'm surprised they didn't rename the movie "Badfellas: The true story of Karen Hill"
