I haven't even seen his show but I cannot stand the promos for Demetree Martins new Comedy Central series. "Important Things."
First of all....he's in his 30's playing as if he's in his early 20's.
He is such a hipster nerd. Trying so hard to be weird/sexy/cool all at the same time.
Argh! He wears Urban Outfitters clothes and plays the harmonica. He places his stereo under his hand drawn titles.
He's not even that cute or funny.
So nice...Bush is out tomorrow :) So I am focusing my anger now on Demetree. And his fucking floppy hair. How does he get it so straight?? I need to start flat ironing...

Prince...the Gender Bending 3 foot Alien is Against Gay Marriage
Well I'd boycott Prince....but I'm 20 years too later.
The gender bending 3 foot Jahova's Witness alien (much like Michael Jackson) is against gay marriage. He had this to say "God came to Earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out," he said. "He was, like, 'Enough'."
Ok...so I take it he will be molesting little boys soon like Michael.
Wonderful.

Barrack Wins - The Housewives of Atlanta and Immigrants and Faggots
What a Tuesday. Its now thursday morning and I still haven't got my head around it. We wont. By a landslide. I predicted their would be a "youth quake" since most polls did not take into account all the new voters; but wow. Senator Obama has a mandate. 333 electoral votes.
The strange thing is going around the internet...that minority that is the ultra conservative is very loud, and very proud. And still up to their tricks. In the end, there's probably not as many partisan people out there as me or the guys who like to type the word "Libtard" into every liberal blog.
This shows what the "real America" looks like. Funny thing is it's still hard to find very many people who love Obama in my local community. I think when it comes down to it, people like to complain, but they don't really get into politics. And probably didn't even vote. My sister is I think the average American. Neither one way or another but would vote with her pocket book...if she wasn't so lazy. She went to vote, and turned around because the lines where too long. In the end she thought it was cool Obama won because "it's history."
"Real" America is a lot more complex than the media would like to acknowledge. In the end, the maority of whites, hispanics ... every ethnicity preferred Obama. African Americans went for Obama 95%.
We can no longer have elections like we had in the past. No more old white guys playing to as broad an audience as possible. No more John Kerry windsurfing. McCain hanging out at biker rallies. The future of American politics is young people. Minorities. Women. Maybe I"m being too optimistic but neither party can now take the "others" for granted.
Unless of course you're gay! For while it was an extremely wonderful and joyous day, Proposition 8 passed.
Thankfully it's not that simple. We are protected in the California constitution. Equal protection. So the validity of Prop 8 is questionable. Which is good. There will most likely be lawsuits. And so there should be. If it wasn't for "activist" judges schools would have never have intergrated. Can't always leave it to the people. The people are ignorant.
Unfortunately, that new powerful voting block, the minority...the immigrant; is unfortunately not in solidarity with the gays. Hispanics and African Americans supported Prop 8 over whites. Which explains why those in charge of the Prop 8 campaign used a hispanic family while our campaign ad focused on whitey mcwhiterson. All along it's not the Cali whites we had to reach it was the cali "others."
This doesn't make me hate immigrants or suddenly become racist. But I'm dissapointed that a minority could opress another minority. Remember, at one time African Americans where thought to have smaller skulls, smaller brains and be sexually lacivious. There was no evidence of this but people believed it, just like the people who believe homosexuality is a choice and a sin. These are opinions based on fear.
In reading blogs; its amazing how Religious fanatics are making this an issue about "religious freedom" making themselves the victim. The truth is marriage is many things. It can be secular; in front of a judge if you are an Athiest; it can be Buddhist, Jewish, Unitarian...no relition or people have a monopoly on marriage. So how is letting churches who support gay people perform marriage ceremonies not taking their rights away?
it's because those Churches which disagree, are tax exempt. And they make a killing on faith. They don't pay taxes and don't want to be forced to perform gay marriages. They want their cake and they want to eat it too. Government support but with the right to discriminate.
Whatever. This is not over. Was very happy to see protests in West Hollywood today. we have to stop being passive about this. We need more activism less pasivism.
I am exhausted. So what do the Housewives of Atlanta have to do with any of this. I saw the election at my friend David and Jons house. They are quite the odd couple. David was getting tired of election results and at 8pm pacific...just as Obama was declared winner decided to change the channel to The Real Housewives of Atlanta thinking that their would be no results until 11pm pacific. He was watching CNN, which broadcasts out of New York; so he didn't realize that 11pm actually meant 8pm.
So when I look back at this historic occasion, and think back to where I was when Obama was announced as the first African American president ever; I can say, I was watching the first 5 minutes of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
And the funny thing is we would have continued to watch it but the DVR was set to record "Paris, My New BFF" but recorded the vapid housewives instead. So if Paris had been on TV...I would have gotten the news 30 minutes (or more) later than everyone else in the world.
Thanks David lol

The Fall TV Schedule
I don't really understand why we cannot watch foreign TV (even when it's from an English speaking country) The new fall TV schedule is filled with American versions of foreign TV shows.
From the UK: Life on Mars, and the Eleventh Hour.
From Australia: Kath and Kim.
Why?? When I lived in London we'd watch Neighbors and Secret Life of Us (Australian) and all the American shows like Friends, CSI, etc etc in their original versions.
BBC America seems to be doing incredibly well. HBO just signed up to air the incredibly hilarious "Summer Heights High." Why do the networks believe that Americans are too stupid or not sophisticated enough to enjoy these series in their original form?
Ricky Gervais is in a new blockbuster movie. So there have to be Americans out there who know who he is and like him enough to go and see the movie. Otherwise the studios would have never cast him in the lead.
There's my rant. I'm not going to support these remakes. I think our original shows are better than remakes anyways. The Simpsons, 30 Rock, The Sarah Silverman Program. We don't need to steal from other countries.
