Kyle from "Life According to Jim" is...

INTACT!

I usually don't watch much TV, and we only have what we can get reception with the bunny ears, but my DH likes to watch this show starring Jim Belushi (sp?) called Life According to Jim

I wasn't really paying attention, but then I heard the word "circumcised" and I perked my ears up.
The mother (Jim's wife) was talking on the phone with her mother about her sister. Apparently the mother always brings up the fact that they didn't circumcise their son Kyle (maybe like 8 yrs old?), and she always has to change the subject every time she brings it up. A few minutes later, she called her mom again, who again brought it up, and she defended the choice again, saying that was from "dad's generation"

I stopped what I was doing, and did a little jig :

I loved how they added it in there so nonchalantly, like it was a normal thing that every mom relates to

Anyway, I just thought it was cool to see anti-circ brought up in a mainstream show and wanted to share!

And if you think about it, you can bet there's more intact boy actors in the entertainment industry, if they were born in California in the past 10+ years. 30% circ rate and falling!!!

That's refreshing. I get so disgusted with shows like Bringing home baby that show parents who circ and say stupid things like, "He cried a lot last night, I think he's still sore from his circumcision" Ya think!

Awww....darn missed it again! I don't watch that show because I don't watch much TV, but I've heard of this episode. So every once in awhile I'll turn it on just hoping I'll catch that one.

I loved that show...well a few years ago anyway. I haven't seen it in a while. I always give up night time TV when my kids aren't sleeping through the night.

I read somewhere that Jim Belushi was intact. If that's true, maybe that has something to do with it?
