Family Values

There's a hysteria in America. A hysteria about what's become known as "the traditional family" and the desperate urgency to "save" it. And this rallying cry is not just coming from right wing conservatives and religious groups in the Red States (although, they're doing their share of tub-thumping.) The media (advertisers) and the government also have a vested interest in perpetuating the traditional concept of family: mother, father, two kids, dog and picket fence. But this hysteria is ignoring a key fact, the "traditional family" is bullshit. The traditional family structure may be for some, but it isn't for everyone. Shouldn't we stop trying to jam square pegs into round holes? Isn't it time for "Bullshit" to redefine the definition of "family?"

Yhdysvalloissa perhe on tärkeä perusarvo. Monen mielestä ainoa oikea perheen kokoonpano on isä, äiti ja lapset. Penn ja Teller tutustuvat toisenlaisiin perheisiin ja selvittävät, onko perinteinen perhe ainoa oikea tapa kasvattaa lapsia.
