American Idle

So Sanjaya lives and the people who have too much free time and no taste or responsibilities in the world are going apeshit crazy. Today, I noticed that Yahoo! had something on their main page and people are really upset about this Sanjaya thing.

Come on people, get over yourself. The idiots who won in the past aren't any good. Milli Vanilli sold a lot of records too and they SUCKED. Go listen to your Clay Aiken records and read Teen People and USA Today and think that you're in touch with culture and the arts in your own little delusional world. The rest of us are going to have fun screwing with the show and watching it go down in flames. LONG LIVE SANJAYA.

I wonder if the woman on a hunger strike against Sanjaya has croaked yet? Eat a Cheesburger for Sanjaya! (or if you're Catholic eat a Filet O' Fish with Cheese today).

Legislating Versus Common Sense

So I'm torn. The government is constantly telling people what to do, but then people are such fucking idiots. Who do I side with? I think I have to side with the people on this. Darwinism at it's finest. If a few Gen Y'ers crash and burn thanks to texting while driving, BOO Fucking HOO. The question is, does that text message really make you so much more productive that your day is made??

But I Needed to Tell My Friend Something NOW and it Was IMPORTANT

How about this, people pull your head out of your asses. Governmental officials, leave us alone. Can't we all just get along??

Have Fun with American Idol

So, don't like American Idol? Want to screw with the people who love it? Want to mess up the chances of the next Clay Aiken? Here's your shot. I heard this on the Howard Stern show yesterday. It's called Vote For the Worst. What is it? It's a web site dedicated to voting for the worst singer on American Idol in an attempt to either 1) prove that the show's producers are rigging the votes or 2) take control of it and crash it into the ground in a glorious ball of flames. Either way, the goal is to vote for the worst singer to make a mockery of the show. Of course, Clay Aiken didn't need it to almost win.

Rock Hall Mistake?

So, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland has decided to admit it's first Rap/Hip Hop Artist. I respectfully must disagree with this decision. While I do not like rap/Hip Hop, I do understand that people do care for it greatly. Like Country or Opera or Bluegrass or World Music or Gregorian Chants or Classical it's a genre of music that exists and has fans. One thing, however, that it is not is ROCK.

As a proud Rockist I am upset by this decision. I think that Hip Hop should have it's own hall of fame. If they wish to include rock artists they can, but to be honest, I don't think the two belong together. The rule for eligibility is 25 years from the first album. That would put us at 1982. There have to be bands whose first album was released in 1982 that are more deserving to be in the ROCK Hall of Fame... How about:

Gang of Four
Husker Du
Bad Religion
Sonic Youth
Mission of Burma

These are all bands that released an album in 1982, a few of them were debuts. It seems to me that Sonic Youth has done more for rock than any rap artist.

The Healing Power of Shitheads

I'm constantly amazed at how famous people get away with shit that the rest of us can't. Naomi Campbell, in a fit of decadence and general brattiness threw her phone (not the first such incident) at her maid in a fit of rage. Now, after getting caught and dragged to court, she regrets it. Boo Fucking Hoo

She regrets it because she got caught. I like how she's using crystals to heal her anger. How about losing the sense of inflated self importance and that the world is there to kiss your ass? That might help more than crystals.

The Today Show did an interesting piece today on Fame. Apparently high school kids would rather be famous than smarter. I say we take all these fame whores, ship them to an island and do away with the cult of being famous for fame's sake. I would find that VERY healing.

I do, however, believe that all Gary Glitter stories are really a public service. That guy is creepier than Clay Aiken.

Holy Shit!

So the Anna Nicole Smith thing gets weirder. Now Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband is claiming that HE might have fathered the kid! WTF????

Hello Dahling!

What next? Is OJ going to find a way to get involved in this mess (one can only hope).

Assholes of the Week

A new feature here on my blog... Asshole(s) of the Week. I'll try to pick someone new who is ruining our lives. This week, those facists MADD! Why? They want to put 1984-style monitoring devices in cars, all cars...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061120/ap_on_go_ot/drunken_driving

I hope the ACLU stands up to them. I really hate how they use "saving lives" to infringe on our civil liberties. Drunk driving laws are worse than Bush's anti-terror, enemy combatant laws. I know I'm in the minority on this but I still don't think saving lives is enough to restrict or step on rights.

For MADD's hysterical reaction to drunk driving and their lack of care about the Constitution I name them the ASSHOLES OF THE WEEK.
