On Modern Family this week, they once again failed to show Ed O'Neill's character making out with his young wife. The avoidance reached a conspicuous low when they showed the two of them on a bed together. Whereas he reclined normally, she sat upright chastely, one foot on the ground, her back slightly to him.
That is an outrage. It's well past time we saw these two macking, but no, the producers are spineless corporate drones afraid of upsetting anyone's delicate sensibilities. That's ridiculous to me. I don't understand it. As a sometimes-dater of younger women, I demand unremitting validation in my entertainment.
Meanwhile, we saw Julie Bowen's character whack her husband on the back of the head with a kitchen utensil, but is there equivalent violence in her gay brother's relationship? No! Utter nonsense. In the name of justice, let Mitchell knock Cameron's teeth out.
