Maybe someone should Notify Hollywood Casting Agents
by Pat Darnell
Why do I pick on successful people?
If someone or something is a national brand, then anything I write about it gets noticed. So that is really the only reason.

Oh, you don't believe that? You think I'm just another pigeon hearted curmudgeon drinking vinegar? Okay "yes" to that too; I accept that tag.
I had a Political Science Professor *[as oxymoron-ish as that sounds] who pointed out that conservative political speeches and articles are, as he said, boring.
Yes, it is more fun and entertaining to read about and watch left-wing, under-dog, over-the-top ultra liberal political jargon and rallies.. no?
Admit it. What pleases a crowd more than a raging clown on stage? Maybe a lunatic, maybe tanned contortionist, or a blind Lumberjack, why not a spectacular deaf harmonica player -- redefining what we are looking for in entertainment.
Aha, there! I wanted to pull you, the esteemed reader, into my thoughts on That's Entertainment!
NASCAR -- viewed by masses who want desperately to be witness to the crash when it happens
UFC -- viewed by masses who would be witness to the ultimate jaw bone breaking, blood spurting career ending KO, knock-out, when it happens
...Or in both cases, maybe the agony of defeat when someone expires, takes their last gasp on stage or in the infield? ... brings ticket-purchasing crowds anticipation to a peak.
Movies\CINEMA\Hollywood -- had a good run for a hundred years, but not very many ticket buying thrill seekers go to them anymore. Maybe because they have a as their cast members recent food servers, yes waiters and waitresses, instead of talented plate spinners, glass eaters and face manglers.

Waxing about technology, bikes, life-stuff and a once analog living.
-- Says One Year ago --
"Low brow tv keeps redefining the lowest common denominator factor. Starting with the brainiac who convinced the judges; [last year] Pierce, Joan and The Hoff to take part in this modern day Gong Show ... The bad clips must have been so bad they had to rush through NY, LA and The Chicago auditions in season premier.
"Most of the winners win [in 2008] from pathetic sympathy votes instead of by their talent, except for a violin duo Nuttin But Stringz and a opera singer who tear jerked the audience to a frenzy. For example two survivors were these Russian hussies who can't sing and a transvestite Britney Spears impersonator who lip synced and are going to Vegas baby.
"It can only get worse from here and I am frightened America, when the worse were not very entertaining, what is to come next I can only imagine it will be less than un-watchable.
"The good news is that the bar is low for people to make it and win the lottery where there are no rules and just a stage to free form it. So keep watching America and lets compete against the vapid MTV reality stars are working too hard and don't deserve their fame and fortune. I am not sure how Terry Fator a Ventriloquist won last year but what do I know. We need to fill out summer nights somehow. Who was your favorite performer?"

"YOU...are what this show is all about!"
I noticed Hoff says that three times a show.
I know... I know... hilarious. Here's also what I see: Hooffer keeps putting his big old hand on Sharon O's back and leaning over and giving her a buss on the cheek... often enuff to notice Hooffer's drunkeness...
I keep imagining Ozzie sittin' at home in his Lazy Boy cracking pistachios, turning redder and redder as he downs handfuls of Raisin-ettes sprinkled with speed... screaming at the TV: "You blasted big F**k'n, arse sniffin' lifeguard, get your hands off me wife.... bloody twerp... I'm gonna bite your head off... I'm the Angel of Death, bloody bastard." Ending with another busted screen TV set, and nervous dogs butt scooting in the glass on the floor.
That's what this show is all about ... too!
