Oh, the Internets – a venue for us consumers to talk and talk and talk until we’re blue in the face.

I do love me some Web action, but I fear the uncontrolled, unfiltered ways of the World(Wide Web) have only encouraged our love for trends, fads and other here-today, gone-tomorrow BS. And frankly – I’m sick of some of this shit.

Jersey Shore

OK. I get the appeal. We’re actually making fun of these GTL-loving assclowns. But they’re the ones getting the last laugh. Not only are these kids making bank (and holding out for more!), but they’re everywhere lately! They’re played 100 times a day on MTV, they’re doing appearances around the country, and they’re evening pulling a Lohan and showing up in court! Jersey Shore truly is a new low for MTV, a network that I didn’t think could get any lower. Looks like I was wrong. Wake me up when Beavis and Butt-head returns.

Hating on M. Night Shyamalan

Poor M. Night Shyamalan! Dude only made some of the best movies of our times (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable) but he has to get shit on for eternity for a few of his…well, less entertaining flicks (Lady in the Water, The Last Airbender). Look, I’ll be the first to admit that Shyamalan definitely needs a new schtick – the surprise ending isn’t a surprise anymore, man! But seriously – the Internet outcry about this man and his work is way harsh, Tai (I personally loved Signs and The Village!). Leave my man Night alone, cuz even Woody Allen makes a stinker now and then (Melinda and Melinda).

Katy Perry

Let’s be serious here, folks – Is Katy Perry really that good? She’s been getting tons of attention ever since She Kissed A Girl, but her talent? Meh. I do enjoy the occasional single, but I’d rate her only a 5 or 6. Is that something to blab about? Her SNL performances were confused, with awkward choreography and costumes. It’s a shame Sesame Street left her skit unaired…oh wait, no it isn’t, because I really don’t care (though I did like her uhhh, outfit). I don’t hate Perry, it’s just that I think she should go in one ear and out the other. Perry shouldn’t stay in the consciousness of Pop Culture for too long, because her, um, “talent” is already spread pretty thin.

Oh, and I also blame her for Ke$ha.

Arcade Fire

I don’t have much to say on this one, I just. don’t. getit. I’ve heard the music – it’s fine music. It’s mildly interesting, albeit, kind of boring. I fell asleep to it a few times. Is that why it’s so awesome? It’s a fine sleep aid? What’s the deal here? Teach me, oh gentle and wise readers. I am pretty sure that I like any name with the word “arcade” in it though.

Loving Betty White

Ok, look, I’ll be the first to admit that I was safely aboard the Betty train awhile back. But enough is enough already! First of all, Hot in Cleavland, though mildly entertaining, is a show for 50 year old women and no one else. I’m sure my mom would just love it. Three middle-aged women cluck and clack like a flock o’ hens about something I can never follow and then Betty comes along and says a Betty-ism that gets laughs. Sometimes it’s a decent joke, but usually it’s not (nothing has topped that Episode 1 marijuana gag).

Then Betty did SNL, then Betty did commercials, then Betty did a new movie with Kristen Bell and Jamie Leigh Curtis and Sigourney Weaver, yada, yada, yada…I’m just over it. It’s just too much Betty for me to handle. It’s kind of like when Jennifer Lopez was a dancer, and then she was an actress, and then she was a singer, and then she changed her name to J-Lo, and we were all “Ahh, J-Lo no one cares! Because you’re everywhere! And we’re all tired of you!” Yeah. Kinda like that.

Lastly – Betty White is no Cloris Leachman, my friends.

/rant. ADIOS MUCHACHOS!
