I guess this is okay if it's a magazine that you might save anyway, but when TV Guide does it, it's just stupid. Who really wants to save old TV Guides? What's worse is that TV Guide doesn't even limit itself to TV shows. They recently just had a "Star Wars" set of covers. Hello! You're TV Guide, not MOVIE Guide. The latest stupid thing that TV Guide has done is a set of Elvis covers. Now I do realize that there is a TV movie coming out...

Second of all, he's Aaron Carter, so it's okay to make fun of him. Third, his Cadillac Escalade hits a mattress and explodes. It's like straight from The Simpsons or something. Kobe Bryant's Jersey is no longer popular - It's satisfying to know that rapists aren't popular anymore. We'll just leave it at that. Ashlee Simpson booed off stage at Orange Bowl -...

Like so many stadiums, it was renamed after a corporation that paid big bucks. We had to endure "3COM Park" for may years, although most of us still called in Candlestick Park (or "The Stick") since no one paid us any money. Fast forward to today, and the stadium is now called "Monster Park." I had assumed that monster.com, the job company, had paid for it. However, only recently did I learn that Monster Cables, who makes stereo...

Visit the new Hollywood Hates Kevins blogsite. http://stupidthings.blogdrive.com/comments?id=10 http://stupidthings.blogdrive.com/archive/9.html Tue, 02 Nov 2004 22:09:19 GMT Today is election day in the US, so naturally with all sorts of hot topics to talk about today, I chose to complain about soap. Yup, soap. My wife bought some "deluxe" soap, which may, or may not, be nice soap. I'll never know since it's just too big to handle. This stuff has the mass of 4 or 5 bars of normal soap, and it's in the shape of a football. Maybe it's easy to hold when it's new, and dry, and in a plastic wrapper. But when it's wet and soapy (did I mention that it's soap?) it's impossible to hold with just one hand. This is definitely not soap that you want to take to prison...

I used to watch it all of the time, but then I got tired of it and stopped. Recently, it snuck back onto my TV and all of the reasons why I hate that show started to flood back. The worst thing about this show is its phoniness. Whatever they are talking about is "it" and if you're not into "it" then you're a loser. They talk about anything like it's the most important thing in the world: Will static cling affect the Oscars? Stay tuned! How can these talking heads stay so interested in such asinine things day in and day out? It's no wonder...

I've had a similarly hard time explaining to many other Republicans why the GOP has major problems and why I'm voting for Kerry (or techincally, against G.W. Bush). Leave it to my friend, the Mighty Wombat to write a wonderful essay that expresses my own ideas so well. It's like he ripped my own thoughts from my brain and wrote then down. The only thing that I would add to his writing is that GOP's problems stem from the unholy alliance it has with the bible-thumping religious right. These morally...

I already talked about all of the existing shows like this, and now there is another. Sheesh! I'm not the first person to notice this trend, this article also mentions it in passing. The irony is that Goodman used to star in the original "Fat Man and Fat Wife" show, aka Roseanne, that gave the whole blue collar sitcom genre its start. We've now come full circle, just with a little liposuction. http://stupidthings.blogdrive.com/comments?id=6 http://stupidthings.blogdrive.com/archive/5.html Tue, 19 Oct 2004 00:34:42 GMT I've been a Kevin for almost 40 years now (yikes!) and I've noticed something. Hollywood hates Kevins. I don't mean actors named Kevin, there's no problem there. Kevin Spacey, Kevin Klein, Kevin Costner, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Smith...there is a pretty good list of Kevin's getting work out there. Hell, Britney Spears even married a guy named Kevin, so we're good there. The problem is with the writers. They hate Kevins. Almost always, characters named Kevin are the jerk, the outcast, the weirdo or the psycho. I first noticed it long ago watching an episode of the original Star Trek...
