A potpouri of crap...

1) If you watched this week's (surprisingly entertaining) episode of the Simpsons, you may have noticed a disclaimer. It read (I'm paraphrasing here), "This episode deals with the issue of same-sex marriage. Viewer discretion is advised."

Now let me get this straight... of all the crap that's gone on during that show-- Sideshow Bob trying to kill Bart, Maggie hitting Homer on the head with a mallet, Principal Skinner and Ms. Crabappel having sex in the school closet (one of the babies looked at me!)-- it takes same-sex marriage to get a warning? This country's priorities are so completely retarded... it just makes my head hurt. The whole idea of running the country based on the morals of the most conservative of the religious right is just dumb.

2) There's a new song that I find strangely enjoyable, and nauseatingly catchy. It's in the Ipod Shuffle commercial (with the arrows and the people dancing). Sing it with me! "'Cuz it's easy when you know how it's done..." I don't know why this song sticks with me like it does. It just does.

2a) Is the new Gwen Stefani song "Rich Girl" or "Rich Boy" or something... the most annoying song ever? It's far and away the frontrunner for the "2005 'Popular, despite the fact that it sucks ass' song of the year." And I didn't think last year's winner (that "Milkshake" song) would ever be topped.

3) The new leader in the race for the "Woman who I'm not sure why I'm attracted to her award, 2005 version" is the woman from the Overstock.com commercials. She's probably 40, and looks like a poor man's Diane Lane (it isn't Diane Lane, is it?) but I always watch those commercials and think, "yeah, if I was single, I'd hit it."
Anyone have any other nominees?

Coming up at some point in the indefinite future: Michigan's dreadful roads, Michigan's dreadful drivers, and the name of the blog officially gets changed to "Listen to some jackass bitch about stuff."
