There are more than a few things I won't be saying "MM" to in the soon-to-be-past decade. Amongst them:
Susan Boyle, Carrie Prejean, Paris and Perez Hilton, Sanjaya, Paula Abdul, Taylor Swift, Kanye, Emeril, Rachel Ray, most all of Food Network now that I think about it, Blago, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Mark Foley, Larry Craig, Joe Lieberman, Tom Delay, Cheney, Bush (all of them), Rick (silent "P") Perry, Kay Bailey Hutchison, John Cornyn, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea, Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials, Geico commercials, Windows Me, Vista and 7, Zune, blogging, Twitter, LOLcats, YouTube karaoke.
There's one thing I will probably enjoy seeing more of in the MMs, and that's "Billy Elliott"'s Jamie Bell, now that he's all grown up.
That might make the new decade a little better for sure. Ya think?
The number one media correction of the year is from the Washington Post: "A Nov. 26 article in the District edition of Local Living incorrectly said a Public Enemy song declared 9/11 a joke. The song refers to 911, the emergency phone number." Find the rest in the link.
or, don't you know it's f-ing Christmas? Jeez. Just in time, F-ed Up came out with their new holiday single. I bring it to you in the hopes that your f-ing holidays aren't totally f-ed up by family, co-workers, drunk drivers, mall walkers, crappy presents, Sandra Lee on HGTV and stuff like that. I mean it from the bottom of my heart, y'all.
"Dude I just masturbated laying underneath my Christmas tree. Apparently all I want for Christmas is to get laid."
Forget all you've heard about rising test scores in public schools - even the school of hard knocks ain't prepping our lil' kids for jack shit nothin' when it comes to the real world. Take for instance the case of the preggers high school volleyball player in Fort Worth. It seems the school district was worried about the health of this child (the unborn one) and benched the knocked-up player. Something tells me the school district was even more concerned about the inevitable lawsuit that would ensue should this girl injure her baby whilst diving all around the court for gaddam volleyballs.
No matter: the player has filed a discrimination complaint against the district, saying it ruins her chances for receiving a college scholarship. Besides, she says, she's a good player who doesn't need to dive for balls bouncing around the court (insert ball joke here) so she should be allowed to run around with her unborn child to help the team. If I was one of her teammates, I'd be mega-pissed if knocked-up chick was on my team and wasn't playing her heart out to win every point, but I'm hyper-competitive that way. Sue me.
Sweet baby Jesus help us all if this idiot wins this fight. I can just see it now: all sports teams will be required to have playpens on the sidelines just to accommodate this lunacy. If not, I hope the school district's lawyers come up with a pile of waivers stacked to the height of a volleyball net, force this player to sign them all and then require her to take out a $20 million insurance policy if she wants to play up until the time her water breaks.
It's the only fair thing to do.
On SNL..."Oh no. Oh no-o-o-o. He pissed himself." Pure classic!
A few quick thoughts on the important headlines of the day (and weeks and months);
Lil' kids get their hearts broken by parents with no skills. Listen and choke on the pain.
You have to turn the volume up, but you'll hear more than you ever wanted to know.
