Wife Swap

Check this out:

I know it happened a few years ago, but I first heard about it today in my media ethics class.

I have issues with "Wife Swap" to begin with, but this is ridiculous. First of all, why does it have to be the wife? Second of all, why -in most cases- does it have to be a family with a mom and a dad?
And in this case, why would you sue the show for swapping your wife with a gay man?? If it says either male or female in the contract, why is it called wife swap??
