Flippin' Friday

It's flippin' Friday -- finally! And, we've been freaked out with all the news of the week. One sick story after another -- like HGTV's decision to drop a new home-remodeling program called "Flip It Forward," when it was revealed that the openly Christian co-hosts were also openly anti-gay.

HGTV is famous for arming good-looking metrosexuals with power tools and titillating its audience with shots of said hunks smashing thru walls or bending over freshly-dug backyard Koi ponds. If you've ever watched the "Property Brothers" or "Curb (Sex?) Appeal" you know what I mean. This pair was no exception. Blonde brothers (Twins!) with blueprints and big biceps.
Sweaty hunks in tight tee shirts. Yup. Great, innocent eye-candy for housewives and gay-guys alike, which comprise the majority of their regular viewers. So it must've posed quite a conundrum for HGTV to pull the plug on this particular program.
Nice that they recognized that haters with hammers aren't sexy.
