Instead of just posting about green things, I figure I’d post about the most ungreen, unsustainable, unnecessary crap in America. Why just America? Because the Chinese government scares me.
Award Shows
if only this filled the hole that is an actor's self-esteem
I have an idea, let’s get a bunch of rich people together in one big room so they can all masturbate to their respective “accomplishments.”
don't worry, there will be
There are award shows for music, black music, hispanic music, horse racing, poker players but acting award shows are the biggest crock of them all. We, as a country composed of supposedly civilized people, award people for PRETENDING to be other people. You know, now that I think of it, I used to go to an award show like that, it was called childhood. I got tons of undeserved praise and attention for pretending. Did I get an award? Yes, actually I did. My mom gave me several awards when I was particularly creative or imaginative.
where's this kids oscar? i guess they suck at pretending.
Movie star actors get awards too. It’s called a PAYCHECK. There’s no need to gather all of the big paycheck havers into one room and compare their pretending skills.
It’s not just the fact that these shows are complete jerkfests that makes me so hostile it’s the sheer abundance of them:
- Teen Choice Awards
- American Music Awards
- Academy of Country Music Awards
- American Film Institute Awards
- Billboard Music Awards
- Country Music Association Awards
- MTV Movie Awards
- Soul Train Awards
- Razzies
- Tony Awards
- TV Land Awards
- World Music Awards
- Screen Actor’s Guild Awards
- My VH1 Awards
- Kids Choice MTV: Video Music Awards
- The Grammy’s
- Academy Awards
- The Golden Globes
- Emmy Awards
- Daytime Emmy Awards
- Watching Planet Earth in HD (with that British dude not Sigourney Weaver)
- Playing Gears of War OR Bioshock
The Academy Awards alone generates about 400 million dollars for thepeople and the state of California. Everyone from caterers to limo drivers gets a piece of the action. Too bad the 400,000 people who die from lung cancer in California each year aren’t as interesting. If only they covered California hospitals with shiny diamonds…
two scoops of raisins are for chumps!
