HBO Imports Story Featuring Very Young Girl Sucking on Plastic Penis Cup
The sexualization of children is now promoted on “edgier” cable entertainment outlets. “Angry Boys,” an Australian “mockumentary” shown by HBO, showed a young girl drinking out of a pink plastic cup shaped like a penis in Episode 12.
The incident is meant to be comedic. But showing a young girl sucking on a penis in a comedic fashion is akin to showing child pornography.
Penis humor is a major premise of “Angry Boys.” Out Magazine reported that the show features a Japanese mother exploiting her teenage son “to create a merchandising empire of cock shaped products.” In one episode, according to Out Magazine, the mother (played by a male, the creator and director of the show, Chris Lilley) unscrewed a pink plastic penis and shook it over parmesan cheese.
Lilley’s work has appeared on HBO before. He directed another controversial series, “Summer Heights High,” which appeared on HBO in 2008.
But Lilley has no problem with shock value. The creator of the show, he declared in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: “But part of me kind of enjoys provoking people.” ‘Angry Boys’ bills itself as an “outrageous comedy.”
USA Today didn’t remark on the controversy. The paper simply called the show “even less politically correct” than his previous work.
Running a foul program is consistent with HBO’s general marketing plan. The paid TV channel already lists “Real Time with Bill Maher” and the sex-filled vampire show “True Blood” among its offerings.
Promoting child pornography is a comedic way is much more shocking and outrageous than funny.

Haha it's a penis cheese shaker. Did they get some 12 year old boys to come up with that one?
Next they sexualize young girls by having them drinking out of a penis shaped cup. This is incredibly vile and in no way funny. Entertainment and shocking people are two different things that should not be confused.
OK, HBO, you win.

I am speechless.
You almost have to give credit to HBO for consistency.

But John Wayne Gacy was also consistent.
Homo comments over @ Out Magazine on this segment:
"I recommend ANYTHING Chris Lilley does!"
"I love this show! So funny!"
These are the same people who DEMAND they be allowed to adopt children. Because they're exactly the same as us.

Cut off the cable until HBO creates a comedy about assassinating unpopular politicians.

Some enterprising young DA who wants to make a name for himself should file child pornography charges against the highest up people on the food chain who reside in his district and are connected with showing this material.

Any one with young children or teenagers should immediately cancel HBO if they subscribe to it. And they should tell HBO or their cable company exactly why they are cancelling.
When and only when it really hits them in the pocket book will they stop showing these terrible shows. What in the name of God can be funny about watching a 12 year old sucking from a cup shaped like a penis? This is wrong on so many levels. Sick, sick, sick.
