Dear TV Writers...

There is this thing... it's called 'birth control.' You might want to read up on it.

(Apparently unplanned pregnancy was the plot device of choice this season... it came up in Fringe, Hawaii 5-0, Bones, House (two even!!) and The Event. And that's just the shows I was watching. There may be more I am not aware of.)

I know!!! I'm so fucking annoyed right now. I don't watch all the shows you listed, but I do watch some, like Bones, Justified, and H5O. In this day and age, there's really no excuse for it. These aren't supposed to be soap operas for god sakes.

I know the men are just as responsible, but I still can't help but think, women, protect yourself!!!! Have we learned so little and gone back in time? These aren't teenagers who are too stupid to know better. What kind of message is this sending? Not a good one.

Pitiful!!!!

Exactly! There is just no excuse for this to be happening! I hold both male and female characters to be equally responsible, if the woman's not protected, she needs to let the man know and he needs to glove up.

And that's the message that they should be sending, safe sex, not just fuck until you're preggers, like, OMG, how'd that happen?

Idiots!
