Funny how "I'm more of a MSNBC guy..." Opie got them in the news for some crazy remark while "Niggermania" Anthony comes across like the reasonable one in the article.

I'm usually behind down to the last available day of on demand, so I'm enjoying some of that right now. The total silence from her (punctuated by random babbling about a phone number or something) while Dr. Steve explains how entirely badly her health is and her delusion that it was a stomach bug is both priceless and depressing.

DiPaolo: It's the fairest country in the world

quote:

15.9 million children lived in food insecure households in 2012.

20% or more of the child population in 37 states and D.C. lived in food insecure households in 2011, according to the most recent data available.

I was honestly really enjoying the show since the new year, I felt it improved some since they came back. But this week there's been 3 shows in a row where I've turned it off. Ant is my favorite person on the show but jesus christ, why do the boys think people want to listen to this?

There was a Glenn Beck charity read on the show today. Seemed fitting to hear his voice.

There's one clip that, out of context, could sink the show if it got legs like Opie's cake stomp video. Like Sirius wouldn't even attempt to stand by them. It'd be fire first, ask questions later.

We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell
In addition to all of Ant's horrendous racism today, I also enjoyed their disdain towards paternity leave. Opie, especially, was very vocal in mocking it. Even though he took, you know, paternity leave. The amount of hypocrisy from the show is jaw-dropping.

"We hate tax cheats and scam artists! (except for our families who were tax cheats and scam artists)."
"Everyone in this county is lazy and just wants to take take take! (meanwhile, we're millionaires who bitch about working 20 hours a week, think we should get unlimited sick days and call out whenever we feel like, and throw temper tantrums when celebrities and businesses don't shower us in free stuff)."

It's tiring. When the show is good, I still love it. But they've been hitting the same notes over and over the past couple weeks and I've been tuning to something else a lot of the time.

Ron and Fez has been pretty good this week at least. Hell, as much as I usually don't care for Jackie Martling, I actually really enjoyed him on the show today. I really liked his obsession with trying to make Shelby laugh at stupid jokes. I grew up listening to Howard and I used to love Jackie in the background; but on his own I've tended to find him annoying and overbearing. But on Ron and Fez it just felt really different for some reason. It felt a lot more natural and fun. I wouldn't mind him coming back regularly. Plus, it's been a long time since I last heard a game of Stump the Jokeman.

I caught that bit on the drive and it made me pretty mad but the ACA stuff made me forget it. And the show got worse than that according to this thread.

It got really bad. Ant started just gushing about how awesome and hilarious niggermania is, clearly thinking Nick DiPaolo would be impressed (he wasn't). Jimmy started in on his obsession with anonymity, except that this time he was actually kind of right-- that the people that post on that site are internet knights that wouldn't have the balls to say the poo poo they say face to face. And Ant went off on how it's because they're the real victims and they'd get their asses kicked for expressing their opinions. And how unfair it is that people like him can't say whatever they want without having to worry about consequences.

And that's when I bailed on the show in favor of CNN.

I bet he was referring to the Slave Girl bit, which is on Youtube. It'd be kinda funny if Patrice posthumously got the boys fired.

I grew up a good chunk of my life in Western Maryland. I had openly racist neighbors and there were neighboring towns that were known "Klan country." (To be fair, some of those rumors may well have been apocryphal, but I always heard reports of occasional cross burnings and I believed it. And I did have neighbors that openly talked about how much they hated niggers, as if it were the most common thing in the world.). My junior high history teacher (a Vietnam vet and one of the best teachers I ever had) told a story once about a student he had in one of his classes who was a vocal racist and who bragged constantly that was going to join the Klan as soon as he could. Eventually the student apparently stood up in class and pronounced his future loyalty to the KKK. The teacher asked him a few questions (I don't remember all the details, it's been 20 years) but the last question concerned whether the student was Catholic, at which the student puffed out his chest and said that yes he was and proud of it. To which the teacher responded, "Well then they'll hang you right alongside the rest of those people you hate." The student reportedly turned beet red and sat down.

Supposedly happened like 10 years before I'd gotten to that class and had him as a teacher. I wish I could have been there to see it. It must have been glorious.
