Andy Cohen must die!!

Who is Andy Cohen you ask? He is the man behind every "Real Housewives of......" on Bravo. Plus a plethora of other "reality" shows air via NBC Universal. The majority of these "reality stars" would probably perish once removed from their reality microcosm.

My wife seems to enjoy the "Real Housewives of..." series. To be honest every time one of these shows comes on I want to shoot myself in the head. I figure, I'd loose about the same number of brain cells. Now, I don't know anyone that behaves the way the "housewives" do and probably wouldn't associate with them if I did. I have never seen such self centered superficial cows as on these shows. If it weren't for their silicone, money and 6 degrees of separation. You would find these women turning tricks on a corner somewhere or working a pole at a local strip joint. Everything is a trauma, God forbid something not be centered on them or one of their spawn. There are very few profanities in my vocabulary that I withhold for sheer shock value. The "C" word is one. Yet every time these shows come on I must choke back the urge to scream it at the T.V.

Currently, Cohen is named as Executive or Co-producer in 7 Real Housewives franchises. Plus the spin off "Bethenny Getting Married?" and "Bethenny ever after". If you've ever seen Bethenny Frankel, she looks as though she's either a plastic surgery twin of Latoya Jackson or she's wearing female chimp make up from"The Planet of the Apes"

Don't get me wrong, I really don't bear Andy Cohen any malice, I understand that America will always be drawn to a freak show. Look at the talk show phenomena of the 80's & 90's. The parade of freaks on Jerry Springer, Maury, Montel, Jenny Jones or any of the other ringmasters every day. It's much like seeing a gruesome accident you have to look. Mr. Cohen does have some commendable shows to his credit. But it always reminds me of brownie points no matter how many you accrue one "oh shit" wipes the slate clean. 


Now please excuse me,  I have to go find some way to remove these shows from my cerebral cortex before they become permanently etched in my memory.  

Things that make me laugh

First, I can't believe I haven't blogged in 2 years!! Holy cow, if you've read any of my previous blogs you know I look at things a little differently. Some are amused, some are annoyed, but, I blog for my entertainment. Like most of the things I do, it's for my amusement if you are entertained great!! If not, oh well.

Smart phones make me laugh. Android, iPhone, Windows or whatever. They are often smarter than their owners and the apps they have. I never knew that I needed some of these apps. Like the air horn/fart app. Okay, farts are funny, sorry but, they are. So, who knew you needed a flatulent phone? My favorite thing about smart phones has got to be texting. Yep, auto correct texting. Until now I had no idea that my oldest daughter's name would auto correct to kabob. 

The government makes me laugh, where else could you get so many people arguing about how to spend money they don't have. I mean really the Democrats want to spend money that doesn't exist and the Republicans argue to spend less of the money that doesn't exist. Maybe I'm stupid but, if I don't have money, trying to spend it is a mute point. Like the old song says, "nothing from nothing leaves nothing"

Reality/Game shows, you know the ones. Survivor, Amazing race, Big Brother. Every season we get the usual cast of characters.The good guy, handsome, young, honest, down to Earth, with just enough bad luck to make you feel sorry for him. The bad guy, ruthless and will do anything to win. We hate him with the first syllable he speaks. The hot chick, sometimes she's the good girl, sometimes she's the bad girl. Guys like her most of the women hate her. The gay guy you gotta have one or the show isn't complete and the more outlandish the better. The ethnic guy, anything but Caucasian. Why so we all have some to root for or say "see, that's where the stereotype comes from".

Speaking of reality Game shows there's Dancing With The Stars. We all tune in every season to see who the fat star is gonna be and how bad are they going to look. Like rubbernecking at an accident. Likewise the old star, athlete and person who couldn't dance to save their life. My favorite is still Master P, proving for all time that not all black men have rhythm.

Lastly, Barrack Obama recently announced that he's going to begin campaigning for re-election. REALLY?
I didn't realize he stopped campaigning from the last election.
