A short list. Yours may vary:
Glenn Beck
Daily reports on Britney Spears
Being tasered
The sports trifecta of steroids, OJ Simpson and Barry Bonds
Carlos Mencia
The View
Two commercials: Fitness Made Simple; Head-On
Redlight cameras
Your trip to rehab
Celebrities judging talent shows
Tainted things - vegetables, toys, dog food, no-bid government contracts, toothpaste, the US Justice Department, the FCC, open government, all sports, etc, etc
FEMA trailers and fake FEMA news conferences
Scandalous Folk/Behavior: student loans; mortgages; Blackwater; Senators Ted Stevens, Larry Craig, and David Vitter; illegal wiretaps; legislative bills filed by The Rep (aka Stacey Campfield); Scooter Libby
iAnything
Rationalizing the use of torture
Losing/misplacing government computer database records
Sending me a text message - if you cannot make a phone call or email me, then it really isn't important is it?
People who make insulting/cutesy plays on the words Republican or Democrat.
Those news-crawls or tickers or whatever they are. Pick a news story to report, then report it and go on to the next one. It's not like that 'breaking news' feeling is supposed to be a permanent state of being.
I've got the solution for the commercials ... combine them to create "Head Made Simple"
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Especially the Britney Spears part, although sadly, I think we'll hear more about her knocked up 16 year old sister than we hoped too this coming year.
ReplyDeleteLets add Ann Coulter, Jonah Goldberg, Bernard Goldberg, Sean Hannity, Bill O'reilly and Neal Boortz to that list.
ReplyDeleteAny reality television program.
That Philbin guy and his sidekick.
Toby Keith and Gretchen Wilson.
Larry The Stable Guy.
Robin Wilhoit.
Great list! And great add-ons by Oxymoron.
ReplyDeleteMight I add.. Lindsay Lohan's nutzy family.
Anything except 'goodbye' to the Bush clan.
Anymore excuses for the CIA & FBI.
Noooo. Please don't get rid of reality tv. Kelvis needs to work.
ReplyDeletewell Kelvis, that was not my suggestion. i confess to watching some of the so-called 'reality' programming.
ReplyDeleteplus, if you is working on it, it cannot be a bad thing!
