SATIRE

Rachael Ray and the End of Days

Written by NB
Published April 07, 2006

Rachael Ray has grown from cooking show host to full-blown media icon. She now has four shows on the Food Network (30 Minute Meals, $40 a Day, Inside Dish, Tasty Travels), over 10 cookbooks, a new magazine, and plans for her own daytime talk show via the unlimited powers of Oprah. Now this is not the first time someone has grown to have such sway over the masses. After all, if the aforementioned Oprah mentions how soothing a certain bath tissue is when she has chafe-ass, that brand would be sold-out across America the next day. In the case of Ray however, there is evidence that something much more devious is unfolding. That's right; I am talking about the Apocalypse. Beyond the perky persona and frantic body language, the signs are all there.

Exhibit A:

RR mentions extra-virgin olive oil gratuitously on her show, but always refers to it as E.V.O.O. Now you might say "So what, stupid!? What's wrong with saving time with shortcuts?" Well first of all, there is no reason to be rude, and second, I have discovered that E.V.O.O. is actually a reference to EVOO, the five-headed beast of the apocalypse. With every utterance, she is actually invoking a ritual to summon the creature into our world. I present this ancient druidic cave drawing as proof.

(Ah, those druids. Even in ancient times, man was capable of such stunning depiction.)

RR is also known to chant certain other phrases such as "Yum-O!" and "That's Delish!" She also uses extreme hand gestures when she talks. Are these phrases more demonic spells? Are these hand movements somehow part of the ultimate ritual to dominate our minds? No, in this case she is just annoying. One theory is that she consumed the soul of Barney and absorbed his powers.

Exhibit B:

Even fans of hers admit that when they attempt to replicate her "30 minute meals," it ends up taking much longer to complete, up to two hours. This can be explained by the fact that Rachael Ray films all of her shows from her 7th lair of hell. As we all know, time moves much slower in hell so as to properly torture the damned. This provides Ray the ability to accomplish a lot more in what translates to only a half hour of our earthly time. It also saves money since one doesn't need to pay a gas bill when your cook top is powered by anguish pumped directly from the River of Souls.

Exhibit C

RR's full name is Rachael Domenica Ray which I have discovered to be an anagram for her true being. First of all we can extract the word "Demon" which leaves us with RachaelicaRay. This can only be rearranged into one word that holds any meaning: Chyarlaaaaeic, a dark and powerful name that could be pronounced only by the wicked tongues of devils and their worshipers. So the Demon, Chyarlaaaaeic, shall be the final form of our destructor. I remember the form she took the last time she attempted to unmake the world and honestly I don't think she put a lot of work into disguising herself.

The only woman who scares me more than Rachel Ray is Hillary Clinton (or is that Katie Couric?)

#7 — April 8, 2006 @ 08:48AM — LMH

Hysterical! I love it and hate Rachael Ray! This article made me scared to live in a world with Rachael Ray in it.

#8 — April 8, 2006 @ 16:17PM — Amanda

So cruel. I like Rachael.

#9 — April 13, 2006 @ 19:23PM — jerry breitinger [URL]

The thing I hate most about Rachael's 30 minute
meals is when she overuses the words, "Cool and "Awesome" plus everything she says over and over.

#10 — April 16, 2006 @ 10:06AM — blbnoptozyzt [URL]

you are soo mean >:(

#11 — April 16, 2006 @ 10:30AM — ~Shannon~

you guys are so mean, and it says that "personal attacks are not allowed" if this article wasnt personal then my name is Wilka Wonkey!!!

#12 — April 16, 2006 @ 12:27PM — Nicholas Bowman [URL]

You are right Shannon. Personal attacks are not allowed...unless it's a flip'n joke! Or you can look at it this way: I am not going to change the minds of anyone who likes her, and I am advertising her books. I'm just giving her further exposure that can only help her.

#13 — April 28, 2006 @ 09:04AM — guadalupe [URL]

I watched Rachael Ray all the time and I find her very entertaining! I think people who are so negatives toward her are just losers! And you whoever you are calling her names should be ashamed of youself!

#14 — April 28, 2006 @ 11:59AM — Nicholas Bowman [URL]

Some people just take life too seriously.

#15 — April 28, 2006 @ 12:43PM — NR Davis [URL]

An opinion to which you are entitled. Here is another: Too many don't take things seriously enough.

That said, Rachael Ray is a public figure. Additionally, this article clearly is designated as "satire." And it is - IMO - hilarious (and this comes from someone who doesn't hate the perky cook).

If you don't mind, I'd like to add another exhibit: The Devil tends to work incrementally in order to gain a gradual - but eventually total - grip on control. First we had "30 Minute Meals." In time, "$40 a Day" and "Inside Dish" followed. Then came "Tasty Travels," the scary Oprah news, and then the revamp of Food TV's late-night slate, which dumped the classic Japanese "Iron Chef" (perhaps temporarily, but who knows?) to give Ray more airtime (and probably to allow more attention to go to its inferior "Iron Chef America."
This is more than wrong. It's EVIL!

Perhaps when Ray is immersed in her new talk show, she'll ease up at Food TV and we will get Chairman Kaga and his Tetsujin back. But I doubt it: Given her history, I expect, Ray will double her airtime at FTV *and* succeed wildly in daytime terrestrial TV *and* publish a gazillion more cookbooks. Most people would be satisfied with one show or two. Hell, there are people with almost nothing and no hope of EVER seeing the kind of success the celebrity cook enjoys who would be grateful! Not Rachael Ray. But then, she is no ordinary mortal, is she?

#17 — June 19, 2006 @ 18:00PM — Engelball humpydick

Rachael Ray is a woman?

I thought she was a 10 year-old boy. Well, a 10 year-old boy with a bubble butt, but that chest..........(shudder)

Oh, Miz Ray is actually a minion of Nyarlathotep and not Lucifer. Get it right.

#18 — June 19, 2006 @ 18:03PM — JustOneMan

Hey Rachel,
With all your travel and all your cash, learn (and learn others) how to tip. If you came to my bar, I'd toss you!!!!

#21 — September 21, 2006 @ 17:44PM — Da' girl

ROTFLMAO I absolutely love her spunk. If we all could only take life as spunky as she. If the ediot that wrote this interview thinks shes fat he must be a blimp. Bullys will always be bullys. And the ediot that wrote such harsh words is an ediot. Just think if there was an interview as such. If I were her I would of responded the same way. So I would be LMAO to say to her good for you girl. Hey I like to see a picture of the person that wrote such nonsence of what he's calling satire so I could make a bully out of myself and slam him. Come on Nick put your mug up for me.

#22 — September 21, 2006 @ 18:31PM — Nicholas Bowman [URL]

Da'girl: "Just think if there was an interview as such. If I were her I would of responded the same way."
So...you would have responded by transforming into the devil's trueform? I dont know if you fully understand what I wrote.

Calling her fat was one very small part of the piece. Most of it was the derivative portrayal of a souless corporate icon being literally demonic. I just had to throw the one fat comment in there because she looks so much like she's made out of hotdog meat.

BTW, I dont have any pics of myself but I'll tell ya I am actually very very thin. Some would say too thin. Oh, and I have a large nose. There ya go. Slam on me, sista.

#23 — September 22, 2006 @ 08:13AM — Da' girl

Ok , Well pinocchio.. Since your sounding a little wooden with no heart. And the only thing I could think of that might have a big nose,Hey you called it I didn't . Hotdog nose to be exact. Allow me to pull your stings a little more. Your still and ediot, Not idiot.

And BTW I;m not your sista, Oh how RUDE !!!! LOL. Hey this is all in the fun of satire right ?

Also BTW, Calling Rachael Ray the devil and that shes one of the many out there trying to transform people by throwing out EVOO as and demonic over throw of the world.. COME ON.

DO you REALLY realise how rediculouse that sounds.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOuuuuuuu Rachael Rays trying to take over the world with word abv's. Look out world. Still ROTFLMAO ... AT YOU pinocchio.Oh wait with that hotdog nose of yours .. Remember people he called the nose.. If it looks like a hotdog nose it must be taking over the world.

#24 — September 22, 2006 @ 11:10AM — Nicholas Bowman [URL]

Are you coming on to me?

#25 — September 22, 2006 @ 22:32PM — Da' girl

Coming on to you!!.. No fool. Blahhhhhhhh don't make me barf.

Whats a matter trying to switch around all the satire I have ready to throw at you about yourself.


#26 — September 23, 2006 @ 13:40PM — Da' girl

You know nick if you thought more like this link I presented you to go to above. Instead of you Slaming .RR ..Thats probally why shes got it and maybe you don't. Goodbye I will NEVER come to this sight again..

#27 — October 25, 2006 @ 21:47PM — Evil Sniffer

RR is the Devil.
How can someone so un-talented be so f-in lucky?
All you people who defend her......are chubby house wives that need to get jobs.

#28 — December 14, 2006 @ 08:45AM — TRUTHTELLER

I think its rather ridiculous the hype about Ray. First of all to be honest she needs to take some tips from Martha stewart for healthy cooking. She is exactly a chronic symbol of schadenfreude . instead of finding a person that is noteworthy and helps us fashion a finer lifestyle, they have picked a loud domineering character who caters to the multiple scores of bored people who are happy to see someone serve unhealthy food on a 'popularised' show. And to top it all Oprah should mind her business and stop playing cards here. Is it not ominous that Oprah suddenly sponsors a woman who has a sign that says 'martha stewart does not live here ' in her house?

#29 — January 4, 2007 @ 23:18PM — ms erica

let me tell ya, i will listen to all RR's YumO's, c'mere buddies, EVOOs, stoups, meatball overboard, oh my gravy-s...
because at 43 and watching her show, i finally have a little cooking success under my belt. how YumO is that?

#30 — March 2, 2007 @ 14:18PM — bumba_rass_clot [URL]

Rachael Ray is such a brilliant and talented entrepreneur. My goodness she has got such a pretty smile and a wonderful ass. Her buttocks are so amazing and tempting. Wonderfully shaped booty on her that so arousing.

Oh. My. God. Better RR than Martha Stewart...::shudder::...at least RR is real and not a FREAK of nature.

#32 — April 5, 2007 @ 06:16AM — nbmbvmb

So True: Martha has always looked fake even when she smiles it looks all twisted and fake.

#33 — May 28, 2007 @ 10:34AM — Nikki

i love rachael ray !!! She is an amazing cook and perfect bubbly personality .... i love you rachael and you an outstanding person all around (=

#34 — October 11, 2007 @ 10:18AM — Carrie

I can't stand Rachael Ray! Her fake folksiness drives me up the wall and her gratuitous phony giggle is sickening. She's overly animated with her flailing hands and sing-song voice.
I do think she has some good cooking tips and for those, I occasionally tolerate her.

#35 — October 15, 2007 @ 21:31PM — herman

I have been watching Rachael since the beginning and now she has cleaveage, breasts, where did they come from, she has always been flat at a board, is it the bra or breast augumentation.

#36 — December 8, 2007 @ 20:47PM — SOME ONE

yall need to stop talking about her. yall just haters and want to bring her down. U should be lifting her up because she is doing something for this world unlike the rest of u people. I also think that you all are just upset because she blew up and became famous the way she did. but i tell u one thing i don't see yall hating on Boby, Paul, or anyone else, but yall hating on her. I see the problem yall hater and yall aint got a life.. making a website about some one u hate.... u should be trying to make a web site to help people like other Celebs. help the girl out and stop hating on her....please because really u just making your self look stupid...I'm not trying to be mean I'm just saying. And this is coming from a 15 year old kid..grow up...please...

as for rachel ray...u do your thing and keep cooking baby girl.....keep yo head up and don't let these face people get u down because truth be told all of them want what u have and can't get it....

#37 — December 9, 2007 @ 11:23AM — Nick

"I also think that you all are just upset because she blew up and became famous the way she did. but i tell u one thing i don't see yall hating on Boby, Paul, or anyone else, but yall hating on her."

I don't normally comment here any more but I just couldn't get over how contradictory this logic was. Clearly, it's not just because she "blew up and got famous" if we aren't hating on all the other people who blew up and got famous. You should be more careful who's side you are defending before you open your mouth.

It is so refreshing to hear that others hate Rachael Raytard as much as i do. She is not talented and not a chef at all, in fact recently a family member served me a Rachael Ray dish at a family get together and i couldn't even choke it down, it was soggy, oily, and flavorless and the gravy was lumpy. Her over perkiness and made up words i.e. yum-o and evoo drive me insane. It is such a travesty that i cannot buy Ritz, wheat thins, and triscuts without seeing her round mannish face. Please Rachael crawl back into the hole you dragged yourself out of.

#39 — February 17, 2008 @ 01:15AM — StaPufft

I hate Rachel Ray and her made for TV, Oprah wanna-be, Jack Nicholson Joker smile!

Hands down, I think that the woman should be boiled alive in oil! Not just any oil; some flipping EVOO! That would be damm delish!

and when I see her suffer this way then maybe me and the producers of her pathetic television programs on Food Network can leave a quarter and a nickel (if they are lucky to get that much) on her casket to remind her where she came from!

#40 — April 24, 2008 @ 15:35PM — K

BWAHAHA...nice! I loved reading this, and even better, I'm the guy who made that graphic for the livejournal community. It's always nice to see that piece of work elsewhere on the web! Hopefully it becomes truly epic in time!
