Bar Rafaeli (and I guess I could look up the right way to spell her name if I really cared) kissed a fat nerd on a Super Bowl commercial and everyone thought it was the worst thing in the world. I still don’t get the “outrage” over this commercial except that, clearly, more people think they look like Bar than the nerd, further showing America’s delusional self-confidence.
Lena Dunham (creator of Girls) has been accused of not voting for Barack Obama despite making a commercial for him. [Although, in New York, would it really matter if she voted or not?] This is only really interesting because I just picked her as the most overrated actress in a sitcom, and now bad press is following her. Yep, once again, it seems as though those awards have some serious clout…right, right guys?
Modern Family just had a season-low episode and has slipped in the ratings in recent weeks. The new number one sitcom on TV is…sigh…The Big Bang Theory, Alabama Liberal’s pick for the most overrated comedy on television. Well, we can’t win them all…
Selena Gomez was recently forced to hear——-gasp——-an adult’s point of view at a recent fashion event where protesters came up to her with a sign pleading her not to use sweatshops for her clothes. Gomez sat there slack-jawed and stunned, the only other mode she seems capable of expressing besides a sunnily stupefied, grinning doll’s face.
Asshole of the Week: Jason and Amelia Black (who are, for the record, black). These are the parents who took their children to the Disneyland amusement park and (horror upon horrors) had The White Rabbit refuse to play with their children. Of course, by “refuse” they’re really meaning that he just turned his back on them, and didn’t verbally say “Get the hell away from me” or refuse them outright in any way. So now The White Rabbit is racist and their kids were just so devastated by this———–according to them, The White Rabbit is “their favorite character” although who in the hell really likes the White Rabbit? I had to look up that this thing was from Alice in Wonderland———that they’re now suing the park and demanding the actor inside the costume get fired.
1. I hate baseless nuisance suits like this where it’s just so obvious that people are trying to get some money more than any real harm occurred. 2. If anyone has ever been in one of those suits (and I have) you can’t see shit in them. Someone could be right underneath you and you wouldn’t necessarily know it. Don’t take a turned-back as foolproof evidence of snubbery, take it as as a performer honestly can’t see you. 3. There’s this thing called “everyday life” and in it people will routinely piss you off. I was pissed off by at least three people just today alone, but I don’t plan on suing them anytime soon. In fact, maybe I should stop talking about this before they decide to sue me for “emotional distress.”
