- Thank God for the Puppy Bowl, because seriously, I couldn't give a fuck who wins the Super Bowl.
- Play artist Carmen Electra! You see, this is why I don't want a sync system in my car. If somebody yelled that out, they'd actually get to listen to some Carmen Electra music. Same with Michael Bolton (although it's not his wussy music - it's from way back when he was a "rocker"). But I draw the line at Tiffany. I have no Tiffany.
- I was watching the news last night, and they showed footage of Heath Ledger's dead body being wheeled outside, and the streets were totally lined with paparazzi and other onlookers. It was sad. I mean, jeez, people, can't we just let a guy die in peace? Do we have to make a show of his dead body being transported? Show a little respect for the dead. OK, maybe the paparazzi doesn't show respect for anyone, but you'd think that some of those other onlookers could have shown a little restraint, yanno?
- Speaking of paparazzi, I'm surprised that celebrities haven't gotten together to hire, say, private investigators, to tail some of the paparazzi when they go home after work. You know, a little taste of their own medicine. I know, that'd probably be considered "harrassment," but really, it's nothing worse than they do every day (tailing people, taking pictures, insuring that they never have a private moment).
Don't get me wrong. I love me some sleb gossip... every once in a while. But at the same time, I don't begrudge anyone their private time. I actually feel bad for a lot of the slebs, since they pretty much have NO private time anymore. They can't go anywhere without a thousand cameras in their face. That's just sad. I honestly think the gossip community should be reined in a little bit. Everybody deserves to have a (private) life, yanno? Even Paris and Lindsay. - Anyone still watch the Biggest Loser on NBC? I do. But maybe not for much longer. Please excuse me whilst I channel Steve Martin...
OK, the fucking Biggest Loser. A fucking half hour show stretched out to fucking two fucking hours. And what's with all the fucking artificial drama? I mean, jeezus, you have 14 people on there, trying to positively change their lives for the better, and they fucking go out of their fucking way to fucking create artificial drama (come on - you've seen how they've tried to encourage the drama, blowing the team against team thing out of proportion)? I mean, wha, 20 people trying to lose weight, all in the same house... that doesn't create enough fucking drama for you?
And another fucking note to you, NBC. Not everything needs to be suspenseful. I mean, holy fuck, Captain Kirk thinks you take to long to finish a fucking sentence. Every fucking weigh in, they play that "suspense" music, and it drives me nuts. I'm sorry, but if you try to make everything "suspenseful," then all that happens is that then end is anti-climactic. Seriously, by the end of every show, I find myself not caring who the fuck gets kicked out; I just want the show to end.
And, I don't mind Alison, but holy fuck, why does she have to repeat everything all the time. And not just repeat shit, but the shit she's saying is totally obvious. "You have one vote. Three more and you'll be eliminated." One vote later.... "You have two votes. Two more and you'll be eliminated." Well holy fucking DUH, one plus one... really, that equals two? Thanks for the fucking update! One vote later... "You have two votes, Biff over there has one vote. If he gets one more vote, he'll be tied with you, and if you get one more vote, you'll be eliminated." GAHHHHHHHH. I swear, it's like she's reading to a bunch of 3rd graders. Come on, NBC... your viewers are smarter than that.
Long story short - NBC, you've taken what should be an inspirational show and turned it into a fucking sack of bullshit, with a smidgen of inspiration left. I'm not sure that that smidgen is enough to keep me watching. Stop with the fucking bullshit drama and the bullshit stalling and the bullshit fake suspense. You'll have a perfectly fine show without all that crap. - This is where NBC sends Edie McClurg to say to me... "You're fucked."
OK, that's enough for a while.
Play artist Tiffany!
