I guess they’re easy to produce, cheap too probably, pick a broad subject and you can make a series out of it. Case in point; ‘The Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest’ which really should be called ‘Out of work has-beens working for snacks’. They show clips of crashes, accidents, stupid criminals (you’ve seen them all before on other, better, clip shows) but here we’ve got out of work losers like Leif Garrett, Tonya Harding and Todd Bridges reading, badly, terrible jokes off cue cards throughout the episode.
Another case in point; I just had the displeasure of sitting through (most of) VH1’s ‘40 Freakiest Concert Moments’ of which they had actual footage of perhaps half. The rest of the show was filled in of other footage and stills of the band(s) in question, HORRIBLE animation done, I’m sure, by community college Computer Arts program drop outs repeated incessantly, the occasional comment from real musicians and even some members of the bands being highlighted and the cadre of out of work losers you’ve never heard of and never will including comics and a group of music Podcast commentators. WOO!

From an E-mail I received yesterday about double reward points from Coke:
“Double points for Coca-Cola Classic®, Vanilla Coke®, Cherry Coke® and Caffeine Free Coca-Cola Classic® 12-packs will be active on Wednesday, December 17 from 12:01 am ET to 11:59 pm ET.”
Yup, us diabetics can go screw ourselves… or drink sugary soda and just fuck off and die. Either way that’s just horrible discrimination against a large portion of their consumer base, there’s millions of diabetics drinking their Diet Coke line.
Hawk (wishes Diet Pepsi didn’t taste like shit)
