Andy Warhol once said everyone would have fifteen minutes of fame, he was wrong, everyone is going the have their own talk show. And whats more, they'll all suck! Boy do I hate talkshows, the only thing I hate worse then talkshows are those god-awful entertainment news shows like Entertainment Tonight, or Extra! Nothing is worse then watching someone who needs to read from a script trying to have a conversation with someone who needs to read off a card! I used to think it was funny that Elvis shot out his TV's... now I can empithize!
"So George, whats the difference between working on Movies and ER?"
"Well the screen is bigger Ha Ha"
"Ha Ha" *BANG*
Everyone makes Regis and Kathy Lee jokes now, so it's at a point they are'nt funny, but needless to say *BANG*. There's that human Mad Cow Disease Oprah, maybe I'll go more in depth about it in another rant *BANG*. Once upon a time, maybe it was the booze, maybe the drugs, maybe a combination, I thought Howie Mandel was funny, I could'nt have been more wrong *BANG*. Then there is the enigma wrapped in a riddle hidden in a pigs ass that is Rosie O' Donnel, is this Bizarro world all of the sudden where the crap Rod (my nickname for Rosie, cause watching her makes me feel like I've been invaded by one) spews is funny, in fact so drop dead funny that she is the Queen of Daytime TV... BTW what a domain to rule, bad soap operas and game shows *BANG BANG BANG*. Actully for Rod I'd want an uzi. The worst part is more are announced every day! Magic, Roseanne, Martin Short forget the gun I need some explosives. No wonder kids are going postal and grabbing guns, they have to watch this crap when they get home from school! Late Night is no better, Letterman is a little spineless puck who's only ability is knowing who is forgoten enough to steal material from so they'll call him 'innovative' *BANG*. Last but not least, and oh how the mighty have fallen Jay Leno. It must hurt to be really funny once, and then turn around and not be funny anymore, oh well I'm sure his salary is some comfort to him *BANG*. If your gonna be a souless shill at least embrace it like infomercials do.
Speaking of being used and abused, a show on CNN caught my attention, it was about how the new hot group to market to are girls age 12-16, now frankly I could really care less, after all people who are involved in marketing and advertiseing etc. are all plucked from the thirteenth circle of hell so if it takes their eyes of my wallet, I'm all for it. What upset me was how all the girls they interviewed and lots of older women were crowing about it! Hmm, marketers have come up with a new and different way to exploit women? Huzzah! And now they can eploit us at a younger age then ever? Yeay! Lets give all our money to men in suits! Bless progress, the more things change, the more they remain the same. Hey girls, heres a dollar go buy a clue! No don't give me five in return! Oh well, I tried.
