oh the stupidity on the today show this morning.
It was concerning mr “hey, I’m just as relevant as howard stern” Imus, who’s recent nosedive into the deep end of the stupid pool is making its round through every newsource that’s ever wanted to read the word “ho” off a teleprompter.
Anyway, as with every news clusterfuck that not worth the energy it takes to change the channel, just as it begins to die out a little, some producer moron comes up with the “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!” line.
OMG! I have to explain to little Timmy what the mean old Imus said about those nice ladies?
Timmy’s response: “uhhhh…who?”
Why does every little annoying scandal have to be turned into a “very special Blossom” episode? Do we REALLY need to pull our kids out of soccer practice or away from the Wii and sit them down and explain the facts of mean people to them using small tender words that won’t offend their delicate little ears?
No wonder kids don’t take adults seriously.
Listen, Timmy, there are assholes out there. Serious assholes. Who will say mean things to get attention. No one likes them except for Al Sharpton, because he suddenly becomes important and relevant again. Don’t be an asshole, Timmy, OK?
Was that difficult?? No. So can we get on to the REAL NEWS now? Like what color Larry Birkhead is going to paint Danielynn’s bedroom?
Amen.

I guess I should watch stupid news more often. Yet again, I have no idea what you’re talking about. You have a depressing way of making me feel old.
I have added helpful links for my elderly readers
just be glad your news isn’t STILL ALL about princess diana.
for crying out loud.
*sigh*
At least you were watching the right station (the one I work for…:)
I’m totally stealing that “Very Special Blossom” line next time we talk about this in the newsroom.
and what’s the best, absolute BEST PART about when someone says something that happens to offend you?
You can choose not to listen.
Why is it that the media loves a witch hunt?
That was so spot on. I think the circus is because folks aren’t content to quietly ignore, quietly stop listening, quietly cancel, quietly pull sponsorship. It’s a PR opportunity for the righteous. “OMG! HE’S TERRIBLE! LOOK AT US! WE’RE on the right side of this! Look, we’re cancelling him! See?!?! And we’ve issued a press release on how we’re not sponsoring him any more! PLUS, I lectured my daughter’s Brownie troop on intolerance, and I made a DVD of it so everyone can see how I’m not on his side.”
What somebody should have done is cancelled Imus years ago. Because HE SUCKS. I know this, since my boyfriend has the horrible habit of watching him on MSNBC in the mornings. I hate Imus.
But I miss very special episodes. *sigh* Now I’m going to have to watch some Degrassi to make up for it.
Well, I for one, just don’t get it. I mean, I lovingly call Lyric “my little nappy headed ho” at LEAST 15 times a day. To each his own, right?
