"Beat LA?!?!" I won't even lie... if my team started chanting "Beat the Celtics!", it would get me hyped. But the Lakers actually have class, so they didn't. We all know that the Celtics are a bit classless. It's known that they go around beating on their chests, hollering and whooping when they have a lead, but look like sheepish 10 year-olds when the going gets tough. And trust me, I fully understand the tradition behind Lakers v. Celtics, but KG, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Doc Rivers have ZERO rings combined. Kobe, Fisher and Phil Jackson have a combined FIFTEEN rings! 'Nuff said.
Creep of the Week - Michelle Malkin and Dunkin' Donuts
It really saddens me when ignorant, bigoted people get their way. According to this article released by the AP, Dunkin' Donuts pulled an online ad featuring Rachel Ray after complaints that her attire was akin to a kaffiyeh, an Arab headdress. These complaints were led by noted right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin.
Um... this supports terrorism? It's a paisley scarf for heavens sake!
And let's pretend for a moment that she purposely wanted to wear something of Arab tradition. What the hell is wrong with that?! Being an Arab or Muslim is equal to being a terrorist?
Shame on Dunkin' Donuts for letting racist critics scare them into unnecessary action. They could have used this opportunity to make a statement that bigotry and fear-mongering will not affect their business practices. And a big F-YOU to Malkin and all the other ignorant critics.
There's a new breed of Comic Book Store Guy, and we'll call them "Video Game Store Guy". I was reading an article about the Wii Fit, and it stated it would be released today. However, most, if not all stores will actually be selling it this Wednesday. Here's a quick transcript of what happened when I went to GameSpot to try to pick it up.
Me: Is the Wii Fit out today? Video Game Store Guy: No, it comes out the 21st. Did you reserve a copy? Me: No. VGSG (in that annoying, sarcastic, dorky manner): Well... good luck then! You're going to have some trouble getting it when it comes out. Me: I should be all right. Me (in my own head): FUCK YOU.
I'm not one to shit on how someone makes a living, but let's just say you have no right to speak to me in any demeaning manner when you're in your forties, working in a video game store, and haven't seen it since it's seen you. Fucking dork.
This is just completely ridiculous. The only thing good enough for this creep is a lifetime in jail enduring "prison justice".
I need to note this week's runner-up as well. The six cheerleaders aged 14-17 who viciously beat another 16 year-old girl. And you thought the lily-white kids in the suburbs were above such things.
This weeks runner-up's all have something in common... No Clue. They included:
An uptight school principal. Reminds me of the Family Guy episode where the teacher continues to yell at a student to take his hat off in class. His yarmulke.
Old people with nothing better to do. Instead of worrying about those whipper-snapper's fashion statements (which I also hate by the way), why not spend your free time actually doing something important? I don't know, maybe like voting? What the hell is it with Florida and elections?
Boyfriend of the Year. Umm... yeah. I would think that after DAY ONE of being in there it would be too much for me, and I'd either get some help or get the hell out.
Our winner however can only be described as the Wife of the Year. Yikes. You really can't even make up any jokes about this. What is there to say? She's a bit hot-headed? She overreacted? Um, yes. Yes she did.
Let's just say this creep of the week thing is going to be a fun little feature for me. It seems there will never be a shortage of candidates. Amongst the runner-ups this week were a Dodger and a pair of pugilistic parents. (Oohh, illiteration!) But without a doubt, this week's winner is Mayor of Bordeaux, France. Because of the inability to expand the land on its existing cemetery, he has threatened anyone who dies and wishes to be buried there with severe punishment. Go ahead, let it swirl in your head for a sec. Makes sense yet? No? Exactly.
And I know what you're saying... How come that piece of shit from the Marines that dropped the puppy off the cliff isn't your creep of the week? Well, for one, I'm trying to keep this feature as light-hearted as possible, and two, I'm waiting until the validity of the video is confirmed before I enshrine him into the Creep of the Week Hall of Fame. If the video turns out to be staged, he's still a grade-A asshole.
Although I have a renowned hatred for reality programming, I must admit that Moment of Truth is one of my new favorite shows of this season. If you haven't heard of it, here is a quick recap taken from the LA Times' Show Tracker:
"The Moment of Truth" premiered on Fox in January and has performed very well in the ratings. Contestants must answer 21 questions truthfully in order to win $500,000. The questions are selected from a pre-interview they did while strapped to a polygraph. The contestant's loved ones also get one, and only one, preemptory challenge in which they can hit a buzzer to skip a question they may not want to hear the answer to. Along the way, contestants can win $10,000, $25,000 and so on, and once they reach those milestones, they can quit and keep the money. If they answer a question falsely -- as determined by their pre-interview replies -- they are bounced from the game with nothing.
This past Monday, the episode was hyped as being extremely controversial... enough so that the producers "struggled" with the idea of even airing the episode (yeah right). Anyway, the reason Ms. Cleri receives Creep of the Week honors is because of the following revelations:
- Was fired from a job for stealing money
- Takes delight in seeing her siblings fail
- Has taken off her wedding ring while out to appear single
- Wishes she were married to her ex-boyfriend
- Has cheated on her husband (recently separated after the show)
Basically, what a bitch. And the best part of all, she received zero money from the show because she answered falsely on this question, "Are you a good person?" Classic.
