Ashton Kutcher, Charlie Sheen, and the Meaning of ‘Cringible’
| April 2, 2012 | Posted by JerriCook under Entertainment |
In a recent interview with Matt Lauer, Charlie Sheen called the videos he made during his months-long temper tantrum “cringible.” Now, Charlie no doubt means that viewing the footage from his stint as Vatican Assassin Warlock was just as painful for him as it was for the rest of us. But as disturbing as the rampant drug use and inebriated ramblings were, at least Charlie was interesting. Even in the throes of a giant hissy fit, Sheen is worth watching. From funny man to train wreck, we love to watch Charlie Sheen. The same can’t be said for Ashton Kutcher and the re-vamped Two and a Half Men.
Kutcher might be a nice chunk of eye candy, but he’s no Charlie Sheen. While he managed to pull off the role of a stoned teenaged half-wit in That Seventies Show and Dude, Where’s My Car?, he doesn’t have the depth to pull off the lead. He’s not acting. He really is a stoned teenaged half-wit, even if he is in his mid-thirties. He’s not mature enough to pull it off, and viewers are noticing. Every time we have to watch the eye-candy try to fill in for Charlie Sheen, we cringe. (more…)
Conservative Blogger Declares War on Anonymous

[Editor's Note: This one is for Andrew Breitbart, the epitome of courage in the face of abject bullying. The pleasure was all mine, Sir. Safe Passage.]
The United States is under attack. On February 26th, with absolutely no coverage by big media, the terrorist group Anonymous declared war on our nation with the following declaration:
We are not calling upon the collective to deface or use a distributed denial of service attack on a United States government agency website or affiliate. We are not calling upon the people to occupy a city or protest in front of a local building. This has not brought on us any legislative change or alternate law. It has only brought us bloodshed and false criticism. For the last 12 years, voting was useless. Corporations and lobbyists are the true leaders of this country and are the ones with the power to control our lives. To rebuild our government, we must first destroy it.
Our time for democracy is here. Our time for real change is here. This is America’s time, to have its own revolution.
Therefore, Anonymous has decided to openly declare war on the United States government. This is a call to arms. We call upon the Citizens of the United States to stand beside us in overthrowing this corrupted body and call upon a new era. Our allegiance is to the American people, because they are us, and we are them.
Operation V, engaged.
We are Anonymous. We are Americans. We never Forgive. We never Forget. To the United States government, it’s too late to expect us. (more…)
Fascism in the Age of Aquarius
| February 28, 2012 | Posted by JerriCook under Entertainment, First Amendment |
So, here we are—smack dab in the Age of Aquarius. Somehow, I don’t think this is what the hippies of the ’60s and ’70s had in mind. The anthem of the counter-culture, Hair, promised this new age would usher in peace, love, and understanding. If James Rado and Gerome Ragni had done a little research, they would’ve learned that in astrology, Aquarius rules fascism—not global peace. (more…)
The FOX News Hypocrisy-Judge Napolitano Joins Glenn Beck
| February 12, 2012 | Posted by JerriCook under Entertainment, Know Your Audience, Media, Political Correctness |
Remember when NPR canned Juan Williams for admitting that when he gets on a plane and sees someone in full Arab garb it makes him a little apprehensive? The talking heads over at FOX News were spinning with glee. What an untenable over-step of Juan Williams’ basic liberties. NPR was Constitutional enemy number one. How dare they fire someone because of their political views? Well, looks like the outrage, if there ever was any real outrage, is over. FOX News has canned Judge Andrew Napolitano over his Libertarian views. Freedom Watch, one of the most successful shows on FOX Business Channel, has been cancelled. So far, no outrage from FOX. Why not? Suppression of liberty is suppression of liberty no matter who does it, right? Guess not. (more…)
Two and a Half Men and the Giant Meat Balloon in the Room
| February 7, 2012 | Posted by JerriCook under Entertainment, Know Your Audience, Media |
If Chuck Lorre and his pals over at CBS think they’re ‘winning’ with god-child Ashton Kutcher as the new co-lead on Two and a Half Men, they’re more delusional than a Vatican assassin warlock. Not only is Kutcher more eye-candy than actor, the plot has thinned to the point of being drivel. It doesn’t work. Is there a writer in the house? (more…)
Two Broke Girls Equal One Dumb Show
| September 20, 2011 | Posted by JerriCook under Entertainment |
I had to watch the new season of Two and a Half Men on CBS. I’ve never been a regular watcher. In fact, most of the episodes I’ve seen are re-runs I’ve stumbled on while looking for something to watch on DISH. But last night, I was a purposeful viewer. I only watched because of Charlie Sheen. Not his character, but Charlie himself. I had to see how the transition from meltdown to replacement went. It was okay, and I might watch again. However, I can promise you that I won’t watch a 2nd episode of Two Broke Girls.
I lost a half-hour of my life that I can never get back watching what is surely the most poorly written, ill-conceived (and by ill I mean vociferously vomiting ill), waste of time I have ever been subjected to—and I know something about wasted time. I watched several interviews with Sheen during the throes of his hissy fit.
Inebriated Charlie Sheen was far better than Two Broke Girls. The show is crude; the writing is sophomoric, and CBS turned what would have otherwise been a mildly entertaining evening into waste of time.
Let’s start with the main characters who work in a nasty diner somewhere in New York. There’s the obligatory black guy who sits at the cash register (gotta have diversity). Not only did they insert a black guy into a story line that doesn’t need him, this one is an old black guy straight from the days of The Little Rascals. He’s a stereotype that is beyond outdated. Add to that the sex-soaked one-liners he delivers, and you’ve got a recipe for creepy. Who wants to listen to some old pervert when they’re trying to avoid the cockroaches at the diner?
Then there’s the waitresses—one the tough-talking, never-had-a-chance, too-tough-for-her-own-good brunette. The other, the standard dizzy blonde who used to be rich. Really? It’s been done to death. They’re supposed to be opposites, who through fate and the lazy writers at CBS come together to help each other. Yawn. The ol’ fish-out-of-water thing is routine, uninteresting, and not funny. The only reason I continued watching is so I could warn people not to waste their time. Instead, go fishing for change in your sofa. It’ll produce more laughs and a far better story line.
