- I feel compelled to warn everyone about an upcoming menace to your TV watching experience. It’s a reality show (shocker), it’s on the CW network (yes, the one that brings you Beauty and the Geek, again, shocker) and it features the current biggest abomination to the music industry, the Pussycat Dolls (triple shocker). While I’ve stopped being amazed by the depths networks will sink to in terms of reality shows and the abysmal level of subject material they will probe, this one promises to set the bar at a new low. When you have a group of skanks whose sole claim to success is dressing in barely-there outfits, getting big name music acts to do guest spots in their videos and looking hot, I’m sure a scintillating reality show is in the offing. What, do we get to see aspiring fashion designers compete to see who can design the sluttiest outfits for the Dolls’ next video? Or do we see who can write the most lyrically inept, inane song for their next album. Intrigue, intrigue…..
- This is what happens when you raid the hotel mini bar and then don’t have the good sense to stay away from open windows. Joshua S. Hanson of Blair, Wis., fell through the window at a Minneapolis hotel on Friday and fell 16 stories before being caught by a roof overhang. I know people from Wisconsin like to think they can't handle their liquor better than most any maybe they can, but Hanson may need to rethink his policies in that area. There won't always be a roof overhang or canopy to catch your fall; this isn't the movies, where people jump out windows and fall nearly all the way to the ground before a canopy catches them and stops their fall. This sounds more like something that might happen on the tenth floor or a dorm building on your average college campus during the last week of the semester, when everyone is closing things down and getting drunk to celebrate.
- Good news for Barbaro…..kidding, this has nothing to do with the world’s most closely monitored horse - yet. A federal appeals court in Texas has ruled that slaughtering horses for meat is illegal, a move whose importance is magnified because Texas contains two extremely large horse meat processing plants. The ruling overturns a lower court ruling last year that OK’d the practice. However, a bill currently before Congress would effectively shut down all three horse meat processing plants, which would be a good development. I know places in the world eat horse, dog, cat, etc. and it’s all good, but thankfully America is not one of those places. I’m alright with horsies ending up in my glue, but I’d just as soon keep them off of my dinner plate, thanks.
- Attention California high schools….Al Davis is coming and he may be looking to rip your head coach from you. The Oakland Raiders owner, seeking a new head coach for his beleaguered NFL franchise, has now been turned down by every coach with a pulse at the NFL and college levels, it seems. Offensive assistant coach Steve Sarkesian of USC even told Al thanks but no thanks, and that has to be the cherry on top of the humiliation sundae for Davis. His team is such a joke, with so many malcontents and head cases, that no coach in his right mind would want that post. Yet Al soldiers on and is looking to talk to Lane Kiffin, Sarkesian’s co-assistant head coach at USC. How the mighty have fallen……
