I had a wicked cold last week and missed a couple days of work. Between naps on the couch I watched a bunch of TV. God what crap! The bullshit on TV should insult the intelligence of a sixth grader.
Hugh Hefner has got to be completely senile. How could any thinking person not be embarrassed by the pretty morons he surrounds himself with? One would think that at some point, their novelty would wear off. Does that Kendra girl know that she sounds like an absolute idiot? I guess good fellatio never gets old. The network is laughing all the way to the bank.
Then there is a show about a chain of tanning salons in Hollywood. Its theme seems to be catfights and backstabbing. The principals act like this is serious business. How can you make a program about the rough-and-tumble world of indoor tanning and the people who make it happen? This show also features bubbly airheads with speed limit IQ’s and grown men with tinted hair
There’s a show called Tapout. It follows a group of assholes who drive around the country looking for the next MMA champion. White guy number one is a toothless dolt with an afro. I cant remember what he calls himself. No one uses there real name anymore evidently. White guy number two is some dipshit who calls himself “Mask”. (not “The Mask” just mask). He paints his face with different styles of make-up and calls everyone “dog.” He also appears to be found of camouflage clothing. He’s clearly proud of his GED.
Pardon my use of the following mega expletives but Nancy Grace is a fucking self-absorbed waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles. I honestly wish something bad would happen to her. Period.
The worst part about this entire TV situation is that there must be hoards of Americans who just eat this shit up. It’s sad and doesn’t say a lot about our collective intellect. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Mensa member. Nor am I a blue-blooded wasp with aristocracy in my family tree. But this stuff is vile. I’m not talking about morality either.
Remember the opening scene to the Jodie Foster movie “Contact”? An imaginary space ship departs Earth as TV and radio sounds play in the background. The ship flies at the speed of light and catches up to old radio programs until it passes them all and there is nothing but silence. Some day, an alien civilization is going to hear all this crap and decide to vaporize our planet to allow passage of a galactic overpass.
When I watch TV, I like to watch (for example) Anthony Bourdain. He’s a chef who does a travel show called No Reservations. Lots of good food in cool, off-the-beaten-path places. I also admit that I like a good comedy. I just rented Super Fuzz! Well done and very funny. I had a hard time with the accents sometimes, may as well have been French! Finally, in spite of all my pontificating, I need to admit that I like a lot of the grown-up cartoons like Family Guy, Southpark, and Simpsons. Stuwie kills me.
There are other shows that really bugged me but my rant-induced adrenaline rush is wearing off and I cant remember them all. Maybe we could turn this into a “Make Greta Van Susteren wear make-up” thread.
Sorry about the cursing. I need a drink now, whew.
