Hope you’re ready for another bitchfest. I’ve been saving up all my anger and vitriol over recently becoming an (official) crotchety old man. And what better way to let it all hang out than blog about my favorite target: reality television?
First of all, I’d like to say something I believe a lot of people who [...]
REALITY TV OVERDOSE
Put The SIGH In SCI-FI
—————————————————————————————————————————————————DISCLAIMER:—————————————————————————————————————————— I’m writing this blog for the stated reason that I don’t want to write about my birthday (September 18). I turned 40. The highlight of my day was that I began the (hopefully short) process of finding a literary agent. Other things that happened on my birthday: my Xbox 360, DVD player and fridge [...]
Another Loudmouth In The Way Of Healthcare Reform
The Loudmouth-in-Question is Rep. Joe Wilson (R [Duh]/S.C.), who called the President a “liar” during one of Obama’s increasingly-opposed pleas for lawmaker’s to step up to the plate–that plate being the public trough all these pigs gorge at as they go about their charmed lives with full medical coverage and enough perks to make a fat African [...]
The New Nancy Grace Circle of Hell Opens
Nancy Grace (Before Burning In Hell)
One of the regular features of EVIL ROBOTS is ’Rants’…which is (and with no apologies) simply “hate therapy”. Quite frankly, finding topics to rant about has never for one moment been difficult. Most of the time I need only click on my trusty Sony Trinitron and the subject matter pretty much [...]
NYC Prep: Another Bunch of Rich Kids to Hate
My oldest friends know my oldest secrets—and the oldest secret truth that defines my personality is henceforth public knowledge as of here and now: I’m a hater. I’m not exactly sure of the modern definition of this word, so let me be clear: I HATE. People have the wrong idea about hate. It is, in [...]
Media Bias and Hurricane Katrina
I’ve just finished watching Spike Lee’s documentary. I find myself eagerly sucking in the storm video from Act I. Sometimes my obsession makes me feel a bit deviant–considering all the heartbreaking loss Katrina represented. Though my family lost two cars in hurricanes between 2004 and 2005, we were fortunate to escape actual physical damage to [...]
Woe to thee, O Jon and Kate
As a long-time OCD enthusiast, I’m compelled to perform countless weird rituals coaxing the world to continue spinning on its axis and keeping gravity from allowing the bulk of humanity to float away into the cold, dark void of space. Just call it community service. In a similar way, ancient Aztec sorcerers (without the benefit of the Two P’s–Paxil and Prozac) [...]
Too Late For Jon and Kate? Cross Your Fingers…
One more knuckle-biting night until we get to see the wheels come off the Jon and Kate breeding experiment. TLC executives must be beside themselves with satanic glee. What better end for a reality show that revolves around an emasculated da-da, a hyper-bitchy mommy and eight gruesomely adorable young-un’s than a Divorce: American Style?
Of course, this [...]
Too late for Jon and Kate
Okay. I watched again. I’m ashamed. I feel so…dirty. I’m such a greasy, nasty hypocrite. I spend a considerable amount of time yapping about reality TV and how disgusting, mindless, exploitive (and–at least from the perspective of the viewer–addictive) the genre often is…and I wake up one day with another ugly monkey on my back…this crack-addled [...]
