Welcome to the mind-fucking of America

You've got the check out this clip of CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan on the Daily Show. Don't pay attention to her long legs, or her lady lumps, or her sexy shoulders, or her long flowing blonde hair, or her sultry and sexy accent, but listen to the words coming out of her mouth. Good shit on what we've all known for quite some time - that the newsrooms across America are still looking to sell Head-On (apply directly to the forehead!) instead of bringing their customers the truth.



Big ups to Deus Ex Malcontent for posting this first. He's another truth sayer, exposing the media games that they play. (And, of course, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart for the interview.)

Get off the couch, fatty

In the past 90 minutes, I've lost two TV shows.

I've been taping American Gladiators, and since Season 1, I've been having to fast fowrard through more and more of it. The concept is still sound, however, NBC's execution has been piss poor. That includes the casting - that's exactly what it is - of the contestants, Hootie's lame interviews (Leila's interviews aren't much better, but she has some charisma that Hogan lacks), and that fucking referee who thinks that he's a star (didja ever notice that little hand jive shit that he does?). The last straw was preempting actual competition to hawk The Incredible Hulk, and just showing a clip or two of what did or didn't happen.

Delete.

Then, while watching MI-5, I noticed that it wasn't on the schedule for tonight, even though the recording of last week's episode said that it was due on tonight. Surfing on over to bbcamerica.com, I read a message in the forum dated 12 noon today that its been pulled from the BBCA schedule due to poor ratings. Instead, we're treated to The 476 lb Teenager. Gee, thanks BBCA, I guess that you couldn't squeeze an original show in between ad nausium repeats of Cash in the Attic or How Clean is Your House?

Ah, well. On the positive side, Stargate Atlantis returns on 7/11.
