Let me start by saying that there is not room enough in my soul for the hatred I feel toward Applebee’s commercials. Who are they trying to appeal to, with their insipid “parodies” of popular songs (the latest being “Suzie Q”). If it were in my power, I think I would locate the entire staff involved in creating these bastardies, and after FLAYING them, would feed them to the cretins that their commercials find resonance with.
Since we’re on the topic of commercials, I should also add that I regret that Jarrod of Subway fame has not lost enough weight to become invisible. I am so bloody sick of his once-fat ass. How does loss of matter constitute celebrity or at least marketability? C’mon, people! The guy has the personality of a wet sack of mice! Who cares if all he eats is sub sandwiches? Will I become famous if I eat nothing but borscht and gorgonzola!?! Piss on him!
While I’m on it, to hell with all instant celebrity. Have our lives really become so boring that we glue ourselves to the TV to research the mating habits of bim-and-himbos? This is not reality! Reality is running to the grocery store in need of TP at 12:00 at night. Reality is cleaning a big glob of hair out the drain with a whisk when you’re out of Liquid Plum’r. What I insist upon, then, is calling these shows what they are: non-acted moron situdramas. Don’t call it reality.
Joe Rogan should stop wasting his time with”Fear Factor”. “NewsRadio”, anyone?
‘Nuff said and more later.
