Worst Reality Show Ever
Design Interns on HGTV. If you haven’t seen it and you’re a designer, tune in. It will make your blood boil. The basic premise is that a team of student designers essentially work for this agency for free for the opportunity, the opportunity (!) to get an internship at said agency. It’s spec work on [...]

Kristen Wiig
12.14.09 | Permalink | 4 CommentsDoes anyone else find Kristen Wiig unwatchable? Each week, I cringe whenever an SNL skit airs in which she has a role. It’s not because she’s objectionable as a person. Rather, whenever she’s the star of a skit, the writing takes back seat and the “comedy” is reduced to a series of Wiig’s silly faces [...]

Plaid shorts
Perhaps the most memorable moment from Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention was when he exclaimed “Enough!” He was referring to the past eight years of GOP corruption and mismanagement, but another recent phenomenon is nearly as serious, and warrants just as stern a rebuke: men wearing plaid shorts.

Coors does some [...] -

Larry King’s producers
So I’m watching Larry King’s tribute to the late George Carlin and I’m thinking to myself, “Oh, he’s got Jerry Seinfeld on for the hour to talk about George Carlin. That’s nice.” Then Larry tosses to the first break and announces that Seinfeld will be leaving but Bill Maher will be joining them. “Fine,” I [...]

Unnecessary British Accents
So I’m watching NBC’s hit comedy show about comedy, “Last Comic Standing” and they break for one of those show-sponsored comercials, you know like the ones during “American Idol” where all the contestants are ludicrously singing whie driving around in a Ford Focus. Except this ad was for a Honda Pilot (why are they always [...]
Makes me so mad
about
During the course of a day, many things simply make me angry, but angryblog.com was aready taken (see initial post). So now, those things make me mad, so mad. Makes me so mad is a running collection of them. Generally, I'm not a mad person; these things are mostly fleeting. But fleeting.com was already taken. That makes me so mad!T-Shirts
