1. Fuck Martha Stewart.
Martha does things in a half an hour show that it would take most people a whole fucking year to do and they still wouldn't get it right!

Fuck Dr. Phil, that hack psychologist fucking asshole.

Fuck Oprah.

Fuck Tyra Banks.

Fuck Britney Spears.

Fuck TMZ.com.

Fuck it.

Outside of sports I watch one, maybe 2 - 3 shows tops. Other than that, TV sucks.

9. In the case of many sitcoms, that's a good thing.
Anything that keeps you from doing stuff that stupid must be a good thing. :P
