Good morning! No better way to start the day than with a strong cup of coffee, a toasted piece of multigrain and a clip of Focus on the Family's lead hatemonger James Dobson looking like a total asshat.

On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart discussed Dobson's recent criticism of Barack Obama's quoting of dusty old Leviticus to suit his own "personal agenda". Stewart of course digs up footage of Dobson quoting the same passage, in order to use the Bible to condemn gays.

From Jeremy at Good As You comes a disturbing report about the relationship between Tivo and the rabidly anti-gay Focus on the Family. Both Tivo and FOF are sponsoring a father's day contest, and as Jeremy points out, the fact that FOF works diligently to deny gay fathers the same rights as straight fathers makes this whole "contest" pretty sickening.

The thing is, it's not the first time that Tivo has aligned itself with James Dobson's group. Last year, they teamed up to start a service to help decide what broadcast imagery is appropriate for kids:

"Focus on the Family is teaming with TiVo, the maker of the popular digital video recorder, to protect children from harmful television programming. The ministry is dedicated to meeting the needs of parents, and that includes helping them make wise media choices."

Hmm ... a quick glance at the stuff I have recorded makes me wish they had consulted me, because it would make their heads explode.

The terrific romance Shelter, from HERETV.

Shortbus, which I recorded from Sundance Channel

The "proposal" episode of Brothers & Sisters (yes, i still have it)

Four episodes of Sexy Urban Legends from Playboy TV, as well as almost an entire season of 7 Lives Exposed (a soft core Real World).

The David Decoteau epic Beastly Boyz

My five favorite episodes of The Golden Girls (including the two with Nancy Walker playing Sophia's sister).

The last one they might not have too much of a problem with, although it is about women living together, so they might think it's like The L Word.

What I'm interested to know is what goodies all of you have recorded that would cause the folks at FOF to run screaming from the room, and does finding out this kind of info about a product you own change how you think about it? Would it cause you to stop using it?
