Teee Veee!
So, Cardinals-Steelers Super Bowl. Can't say I'm thrilled, but at least I can hope for good commercials.
Also, found a new game show on Fox last night. Hole in the Wall. Contestants put on shiny silver body suits and stand at the end of a 20 foot ramp while a giant styrofoam wall rushes towards them with a hole cut out in it. They have to get through it without getting knocked into the water behind them. It's like american gladiators for lazy people. Godawful. Of course, it is a Japanese import.
Speaking of awful, is anyone else drawn to Tool Academy? I've got a rule that goes like this: No reality tv, ever. Well last night, I broke my one rule. If you don't know, the short version is this-10 (I think?) jackass guys are told they are going to be on the Mr. Awesome show to compete to see who is the hottest, manliest, biggest lothario stud. Then we drop the twist-they are actually in the house with their girlfriends, who have submitted them for the Mr. Tool show. The goal of the show is to not be the biggest douche. One of them gets 100K if he changes his Tool bag ways. It's kind of like Rock of Love meets Dr. Phil. End of each episode has the remaining guys getting a tool merit badge, and the loser of the week goes home. But here's the best part! His girlfriend, who he pretty much just trashed on national television, then gets to decide if she wants to stay with him or not! AND SHE FUCKING ALWAYS DOES!!!!
Whacknuts: "Hey, I've got three or four bitches a week that I'm putting my nuts to, but I've always got Tracy to fall back on for her child support money! And we just lost that physical challenge because she's a dumb ho who doesn't listen to me!"
Host: Sorry, Whacknuts, you're just a tool. You're out.
Whacknuts: "I'm sorry baby, I love you, please take me back."
Tracy: "He's a good man! Let's go home baby!"
Okay, so there's only been two episodes, but you get the feeling that the girl is always going to say "Nope, we're done" and then take the guy back. I so want there to be a reunion show for this crap so that all of them can come on, say they should have never gotten back together, and then prove how stupid people can be by still leaving with their tools.
Okay, it's a trainwreck, but I'm watching it sociologically. It's cool.
