Random thoughts.

Two straight 'Random thoughts' posts. I hadn't planned it this way. It just happened.

- Watching an episode of "Wizards of Waverly Place" the other day (I was bored. Sue me.), I noticed an odd blur on the screen. I was a little apprehensive that I may have been losing sight, but then I noticed the blur again...and it was localized around the cleavage of the mother. Honestly? Does Disney assume that they have eunuchs in the target audience? Kids are going to be exposed to this sort of thing eventually, so you may as well get it out of the way and hand the ball off to the parents and have them do their jobs. And I thought that naming a character (brace yourself) 'Mr. Laritate' (and you can just imagine the writers dislocating their shoulders when they pat themselves on the back coming up with that one) was the most super-annoying aspect of this show. Actually, it still is, but this runs it a close second.

- The Emmy nominations have been announced...and I couldn't be more livid at some of them. Jim Parsons (his character is such a douche*)! Sarah Silverman (she is so annoying and overrated)! "Family Guy" (even with its incredible laziness)! All nominated! And, once again, no John C. McGinley for "Scrubs". I probably already know the answer to this, but have the producers of the show ever submitted him for Emmy consideration? It would be an infinitely smarter move for them than motherfucking "AfterScrubs"!

- Fox is refusing to meet the salary demands of the "Futurama" voice actors. Those fuckers will not stop messing with the show, will they? First, the 7:00 time slot, then the cancellation and now this. It's enough to make one wish that Torgo's Executive Powder (from the first - and best; anyone who disagrees is not your friend - DTV movie, "Bender's Big Score") was real.

- First, people were all, 'You gotta get DVD players. They're the wave of the future!'. I got a DVD player and amassed a pretty decent collection of titles...then, they were like, 'You gotta get a Blu-Ray. It's the wave of the future!'. If I get a Blu-Ray and some titles, then some months down the line, a new 'wave of the future' comes along, someone's getting kneecapped.

- Apparently, Michael Jackson wanted his sister, Janet, to have custody of his kids. This is the extent of my knowledge of the case...but wouldn't it be cool if she had to smack a bitch just like Willona did for Penny (Miss Jackson...if you're nasty) on "Good Times"? Tell me that wouldn't be slightly awesome.

* - This, kind of, brings me back to I Love You, Beth Cooper (hopefully, this is the last time I mention that title here). The character is supposed to be wicked smart...but the writer(s) thought to themselves, 'Y'know, smart gets boring in a hurry. Can't we just make him a douchey retard?' This is a little something I've concocted called the 'Screech factor'. (BTW, if this ends up on Wikipedia or TV Tropes and I'm not credited, you will perish.)
