EPIC FAIL: ABC's First Official "Work It" Picture Back Fires

[Kelli Busey]

Is ABC really going to go forward with the doomed, "Work It" after suffering yet another epic advertising fail?

Given ABC Presidents disregard for human life they just might. But in anycase we are winning the war.

ABC hoping to appeal to haters of all kinds tried using the time tested fear mongers bathroom meme to  generate publicity for the series calling their strategy "Provocative" released the "first official picture",  (right) of two men in dresses peeing at urinals.

ABC did this knowing full well this would provoke us by mocking our tiny transgender community.

But ABC did not count on that picture being so vehemently condemned by the rest of society.

As a society, we don't need anything else to reinforce an already taboo-ridden culture towards trans people. How the media portrays this topic continues to influence mainstream acceptance. This type of humor is both depressing and defeating towards those that have lived through the realistic side of it.
