PBS is Stupid!

No really.. they are…one of the only channels we let Kael watch is PBS Kid’s Sprout.. its really just them repeatedly airing PBS shows (Bob The Builder, Thomas the Tank Engine, Caillou, Angelina Ballerina, etc…) all day.. with occasional pre-recorded “segments” of adult hosts geared towards the kids. One of their segments was the “good night show” in which, Melanie Martinez would do little crafts, dances, songs, etc.. and talk to a fish and a stuffed star while introducing the shows for the night..

Turns out.. the brilliant (and in this case by brilliant, I mean..dumb as rocks) decided to fire Melanie.. because.. she appeared in a 30 second satirical short film 7 years ago and mentioned anal sex… so.. she got fired…

To you idiots at PBS… newsflash.. if the kids that Sprout is geared towards, are watching clips on Google Video or iFilm about anal sex…there’s some more serious problems to be concerned about, then the 30 second satire film your hostess did SEVEN years ago..

Hire her ass back…. idiots…

Go Israel!

I tune in the ‘war’ over in the mideast (and I mean, the real war.. the one between Israel and the Hezbolah, not us invading Iraq), occasionally.. to see what’s happening, and if anyone else has decided to try and jump in to the party.

And I see the reports saying that its “unfair” and how Lebanon doesn’t have the same size Army as the Israelis.. and I wonder two things:

1 – Who cares? I don’t recall anyone saying War was supposed to be fair.

2 – Who cares? Israel isn’t fighting Lebanon.. they are fighting the Hezbolah to get their men back.

If Lebanon was really concerned about this.. they would have done two things..

1- Disarmed the Hezbolah back in 2000 like they agreed to as a condition of Israel giving up the “buffer” zone it had carved out of Lebanon…

2- Forced the Hezbolah to give back the two Israeli soldiers when Israel said “Give ’em back, or we’re gonna whoop your ass”

Me… I’m hoping Syria or Iran decides to jump into the mix.. so I can watch the Israelis whoop their butts too!

Of course..if they decide to jump in, we have to jump in, Russia will jump in, Britain will jump in, etc..etc.. world war 3! it’ll be awesome!
