the apocalypse

After four straight grueling days of working on an outline, the inherent stress of the deadline gave me a zit on my cheek. As you know, I think zits rule, but what has always bothered me is the explanation for why zits occur. Here’s WebMD:

acne, or acne vulgaris, is a skin problem that starts when oil and dead skin cells clog up your pores.

Wait, the fuck? If that’s true, why isn’t every fucking pore clogged and zitted out? Oil is all over your face. Also, why is there a complete randomness to the locations of zits, and why the hell, if all it takes it a clogged pore, is one pore clogged that is .00000000001 mm away from the pore next to it that isn’t clogged? I think this is bullshit, and when I was younger I came up with a much better explanation of why zits occur.

ZITS ARE FOR SINNERS

STOP SINNING YOU GODDAMN DEVIL BABY

If you haven’t seen the movie cinematic masterpiece Idiocracy, do yourself a favor and see it immediately. For those informed individuals, I came across a disturbing realization this weekend … society as depicted in the film is where we are heading.

I was waiting at the mechanic’s while having some routine work done and the TV was on TruTV. I watched for a few minutes and was mildly entertained at all the morons crashing their cars or not opening parachutes in time and then being interviewed about “how awesome” the experience was.

Then it hit me….TruTV is the closest thing to “OWW MY BALLS” I have ever seen:

We are actually celebrating idiocy and putting it on television for people to tune in to.

When the show came back from commercials was when I really became startled. It wasn’t a one-time show, this was a super special “World’s Dumbest” (actual name of the show). So I decided to investigate and go to their webpage. Well, turns out there’s a reason that people keep sending in these videos…$100!!!!!

Holy shit, $100? No way — It used to be if you could answer what color grass was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire you got $100, now all you have to do is survive a near death experience while your hillbilly friends videotape it and laugh about it. Not a bad deal.

So what other quality shows are on TruTV? More after the jump…

NOTE: This continues to be a developing story.  Thus far, TMF has merely outlined the facts for our readers.  Further content in the way of high-pressure analysis and baseless speculation could be forthcoming.

“Come writers and critics.  Who prophesize with your pen.”

Here’s my deal: I bring the fire.  I make flames rain down from the motherfuckin’ sky.  They call me “Shotgun” because I pop that shit off in your face.  (Personally, I refer to it as my blow torch). Meanwhile, your bitch-ass thinks it’s Dooms Day!  KA-BOOM!!!

I can’t wait for Dooms Day.  I’ll be whiskey drunk in a bar singing “Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.”  Settin’ ‘em up and knockin’ ‘em down . . .  and laughing my ass off . . . because what the hell?  It’s Dooms Day.  Not like I’m gonna be hung over the next morning . . .

. . . I’ll tell ya, I’d kill for some fuckin’ culture in this town.  I mean, if I went around asking, “You ever heard of Simon and Garfunkel?”  Jesus, how long would that take?

Fuck me?  You said fuck me?  Oh, okay . . . WELL FUCK YOU!

These kids — I run into some who were born post-1990.  And they’re old enough to drink!  I don’t have an ounce of respect for any person that didn’t live at least one day in the 1980′s.

Reminds me of when I used to drink at the Doom Room (speaking of Dooms Day — it might’ve come and gone already — ever since they shut down that joint — is this hell?  Am I in hell?  Yeah, I’m in HELL).  But some of the older patrons at the Doom Room used to say something to the effect of, “You can talk to me when you’ve been comin’ to this bar FOR 30 YEARS!”  Ha-Ha!  I’ll bet they didn’t have an ounce of respect for any person that didn’t live at least one day in the 1960′s.

Until next time, listen to Frank Zappa Radio on Pandora, serve cheap champagne to your guests and tell them it’s the good shit, leave the toilet like you found it and, uh,  stay hot!
