Fame - What's Your Name


When given the choice between spending time with his family and having sex with Demi Moore or spending time with his family and keeping Ashton Kutcher around to have sex with Demi Moore, Bruce Willis has apparently chosen the latter. I don’t know if this is good or bad or healthy or unhealthy. All I know is it makes me more and more uncomfortable. Thank God that one of them thinks he’s Brian Urlacher and the other one thinks he’s Walter Payton. The thought of them both showing up in the same jersey is enough to give me the vapors.

I have yet to find an explanation why attempted kidnapping and murder and mental illness are funny when the person happens to be an astronaut. Letterman and Conan is one thing, but I’m surprised the extent to which the “straight” media is playing this up for yuks and then congratulating themselves about it. There are a lot of news segments being produced about the news segments on this story. The media seem really enamored with the puns they’ve come up with. Yep, she’s “spacey” all right, good one! Not everyone can be or should be funny, as ESPN has proved for years.

I finally got a chance to watch The Colbert Report with guest Bill O’Reilly. Recorded Stewart and Colbert programs are great for late nights with infants. A lot of what I had read was critical of both O’Reilly on the Report and Colbert on the Factor. I thought it was funny. I think some people expected that Colbert was going to use it as an opportunity to get aggressive with O’Reilly and make him look bad, and they were disappointed. I was surprised, though, at how short the segment was. Bill Gates was on the Daily Show for two segments. I figured O’Reilly deserved two segments with Colbert.

Also, it’s official: March 20th is Steven Colbert day in Oshawa, Ontario. Go Spirit!
