Political correctness
a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Clueless and Stupid

Even though I shan’t be watching the Super Bowl today, I thought I’d note the occasion by posting this banned ad:

Perhaps it was banned because the network executives had their heads up their asses and felt that it hit a little too close to home. That would be my guess. Maybe there’s a [...]

Secret Girlfriend

The first half of Comedy Central’s new show, Secret Girlfriend was about all the stupidity I could handle for one evening. I was curious so I tuned in and I only suffered through the first half because of the train wreck effect; I was hoping to see something interesting. I didn’t. It’s just another poorly [...]

Unnecessary Censorship

I’ve never been a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, finding The Man Show to be rather boorish and sophomoric at its best. I haven’t seen his latest show so I can’t say whether or not it’s any better. As the following articles on The Huffington Post blog show, he is apparently not a fan of the [...]

Carrie Fisher Rant

Carrie Fisher gets my vote for the best rant by an actress in a space opera trilogy.

If you don’t already know, I don’t put much stock the aura of celebritihood, the tabloids and the gossip shows, or celebrity words and thoughts. I’m too busy trying to keep my world from imploding to worry about theirs. [...]

Over already?

I see that the season finale of Comedy Central’s new show, Michael & Michael Have Issues is coming soon. It’s hard to believe that nearly the entire season has gone by and I have yet to see a single episode. What’s wrong with me? How could I have allowed that to happen?

Actually, it was quite [...]

Celebrity Deification

I fail to see any logical basis for the deification of Michael Jackson. He was a musician and entertainer whose dramatic and troubled life entertained millions just as much, if not more, than his music did. I can’t deny his appeal to the hoi polloi although the majority of is work held little or no [...]

Obligatory MJ blog post

I saw a comment in my spam filter the other day asking if I was going to write a post about Michael Jackson in my blog. The short answer is “No.”

It’s sad that he has passed away, especially at such a relatively young age. I’m sure the world will seem an emptier place without him. [...]

FWIW: Lost in Space

Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Serenity, Alien, 2001—there is a long list of movies and TV shows that take place in space. Which is your favorite?

Although there are science fiction TV series, movies, and books that I enjoy, I’m not a real fan of the genre. Of the films and series listed above, I’d [...]

Marilyn Chambers, 1952-2009

Today I learned that Marilyn Chambers died Sunday at the age of 56. She was my favorite adult film star of all time. I remember her films fondly, Behind the Green Door, Ressurrection of Eve, Insatiable, Insatiable II, Inside Marilyn Chambers, and her Private Fantasies series.

She was the Ivory Snow girl, the girl next door, [...]

Writer’s Block: Get Real

What reality show would you most want to be a contestant on? What would your strategy for winning be?

First of all, what do “reality shows” have to do with reality? They are an artificial reality contrived by the producers to bring out the worst in people and to heighten drama, thereby increasing audience share and [...]
