A Pinch of This, A Dash of That...

This is my first posting on Blog Critics, so please bear with me as I fumble through, and try to keep the hate mail to a minimum. (Or at least send it to my blog.) Otherwise, it also may be my last posting on Blog Critics. With that said, here goes nothing...

For a show that's all about comedians, Last Comic Standing has become one of the unfunniest shows on television. At least Ant was a good villain. Now that he's gone, who are we supposed to hate? Personally, my money is on host Jay Mohr. While he's normally a funny guy, I know deaf-mute kids suffering from Down's Syndrome with better material than what he flings during his LCS routines. Why don't any of the remaining "comedians" ever challenge him? (I know that's probably not allowed, but wouldn't it be great to see him get called out on national television?) Still, it's not like the producers set the bar very high last year with Dat Phan. In fact, they didn't just place the bar on the ground, they dug a trench in which to bury it. I think it's time NBC own up to their mistake and change the show's name to Least Comic Standing.

"Mr. Wendy" is such a horrible idea for the new Wendy's campaign it makes me want to dig up the corpse of company founder Dave Thomas just so I can reanimate him with some wicked-ass southwest voodoo shit. Then I'd make him dance across the screen like an evil marionette until the company's marketing director was forced to execute Mr. Wendy on a live Webcast.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Condiment Aisle, I give you W Ketchup. You know politics has gone off the deep end when, rather than discussing actual issues, we're debating condiments. "The Patriot Acts I and II? WMDs? Osama? Forget about it. We must deal with this ketchup conundrum."

Have you heard about the idiots at F*ck for Forest? They're two European hippies who have sex in public places to save the Rainforest. Sure, leave it to the hippies to ruin porn for the rest of us.

Finally, Slimfast fired Whoopi Goldberg. Well, you know what they say: You can take the fat out of the ass, but you can't take the ass out of the fat.
