Everything you've heard about the Lifetime network is true

Saturday, I watched a made-for-TV Lifetime movie (Too Young to Be a Dad, which was totally Canadian-riffic) that was so estrogen-packed, I started my period a week early. Wowsers.

Here's what an Amazon reviewer had to say about the movie (which is packaged with the surely-awesome, Mom at Sixteen:

[Matt] is an [honor student]-or should I say-a "DISHONORABLE" student-who without thinking, goes to bed with a classmate named [Francesca Howell] (played just as terribly by Katie Stuart), and gets her pregnant. He should've been arressted for statutory rape, and for stealing a pregnancy test kit from a drug store. He did realize he'd have to pay for his consequences. Later he and [Francesca] did sign an agreement to put up their baby up for adoption after it was born. The adoption wouldn't be final for six months. When the baby-a girl-was born, [Matt] wanted to see it and hold it. When he did, he decided to keep the baby. It was a stupid idea on his part, for he'd have to take on all the responsibilities of raising the baby all by his stupid self.
This movie was about doing the wrong thing.
