The View “Hot Topics” – February 17, 2009

The “Hot Topics” on The View yesterday was actually pretty great.  Sometimes I get really frustrated by it but it started with Elisabeth Hasselbeck talking about The Bachelor and she was cracking up about how ridiculous the episode the night before. 

The ladies also talked about the ridiculous Terms of Service that Facebook tried to put forth which would have given them rights to any images their users put on their profiles.  Thankfully, they’ve backed down (read more about it here).

Whoopi Goldberg also mentioned the fact that All My Children had the first same-sex marriage on daytime television.  It was a big deal!

They also talked about Bristol Palin’s interview with Greta Van Susteren.  The daughter of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin became a mother at just 18 years old.  The ladies on The View talked about how Bristol stated that “abstinence doesn’t work” which was a surprise since advocating abstinence was such a big part of Governor Palin’s platform.  I think that it’s great to encourage your children to abstain from having sex before marriage but it’s probably also a good idea to tell them how to protect themselves if they make other decisions.
