Hey, Billy Ray…

On that show you do, you know, the cute Father Daughter gig you have going on?  It might be nice if you tried to set an example a little better than telling Camryn Manheim’s character to shave her mustache as a joke.  That was not amusing at all.  I would just think that while you are in the public sphere w/ your daughter that you might want to set a better example for young girls, specifically your daughter.  What a charming way to show her respect for women, and that women come in all variations of appearance.  What a knock out job of showing her the various ways in which her appearance will be up for debate her whole life.  How great it is to display to her that no matter how successful she is or how much she sticks to what is considered a conventional beauty standard her appearance will always be there for someone else to comment on and criticize.

And, hey Disney, way to give me more fuel for my loathing of your programming, no matter how hard I try to see the good.
