I know we all enjoy Chuck Bass galavanting in limos on booze-inspired missions to decimate anyone who may have crossed him and Serena VanDerWoodsen's self-loathing pity parties that end in impromptu jaunts on private jets to Spain on Gossip Girl, but when news broke last week that Bravo will be launching a real-life GG on June 16th, a tingling sensation shot up my leg faster than Chris Matthews' after an Obama speech. NYC Prep could destroy a generation of high-school-aged kids. Camille, 16, craves a boyfriend but thinks none of the Upper East Side prepsters are worthy enough. Maybe she'll find a stand-up gentlemen to lock elbows with at the Pink Elephant because apparently she likes to rip-up Manhattan's hottest clubs. Kelli, 17, and her brother essentially have their swank, uptown-digs to themselves because their parentals allocate most of their time to the Hamptons with the other well-to-do's. Sebastion, 16, is a french-speaking lifeguard who has a substantial appetite for hot babes. This sounds like my kind of guy, minus the wimpy French speaking and banal lifeguarding. That brings us to Taylor, 15, who doesn't go to private school but still hangs with the UES in-crowd, wants to marry rich and go into politics. Politics? What's the one thing you don't want to do if you have political ambitions? Go on a reality show and make a buffoon of yourself. When she's done getting drunk underage, fighting with frenemies and wiggling in-and-out of scandals, she won't be able to run for class president of her public high school much less a government office.
Pirates are commandeering ships, Kim Jong-il is launching missiles into the sea but I think the craziest person on earth right now may be Glenn Beck. He's certifiably bat shit. I can deal with "El Rushbo" Limbaugh. His banter can be down right hilarious like his crack about the "dykes" being used to help contain the flood in North Dakota. I laughed out loud at work when I saw that. But Glenn Beck's demented commentary, laughable "9/12" project" and constant on-air whimpering have left more than a few scratching their heads. Joe Scarborough erupted in uncontrollable laughter on his MSNBC program Morning Joe when shown footage of Beck's crying. Co-host Mika Brzezinski looked befuddled as she questioned, "What the hell was that?" Even better is Fox News' Shepard Smith belittling his co-worker's new show while trying to discover what "Glenn Beck Friday" actually is. Despite most of the mainstream media, or as Beck probably refers to them as "the drive-by media" (isn't he apart of the mainstream media?), mocking his ridiculous behavior Beck continues to peddle his conspiracy theories about FEMA concentration camps, the tyrannical Obama goverment and end-of-world prophecies. This guy is blown up like a gigantic birthday balloon and he could pop at any minute. The nauseating commentary even made a guest pass out today.
The everyday happenings of our society boggle the mind more and more and I for one, am loving every second of it.
Glad you started a blog! Good stuff.
