Journal bethanie's Journal: Stupid Fucking Goddamn Fucking Women 29
Some women (not you, SW) are so fucking stupid, and sometimes it manages to get to me.
So I'm at the gym yesterday (yup -- joined a gym -- yay me!) breaking my elliptical trainer cherry ('cause up till now I've always been an old-school stairclimber kinda gal). The guy on the machine next to me is tuned into CNN or Fox News or some other news channel -- something where you can see the headlines and read the ticker and at least get briefed on what's going on.
So when he finishes his workout after I'm there about 5 minutes, he turns to me and offers me the remote. I didn't really think I'd be watching much, and was enjoying my iPod quite a bit, so I thanked him and turned it down. MISTAKE.
'Cause then, these two chicks got on the next machines. Chattering, chattering away... and then... CLICK. Channel changes. DAMN. I'm inwardly kicking myself for not commandeering the remote when it was offered. CLICK CLICK CLICK... to... the TV Guide channel. Obviously, to peruse the offerings and make an informed, well-researched choice, right?
I wish.
When they finally change from that channel 5 minutes later (which is a LONG time when that's all you have to look at), where do they go? Goddamn fucking MAURY. Caption of the day, "After 23 paternity tests, will we find the father TODAY?!" Holy FUCKING Christ!! No wonder the radical Islamists want to kill us all. If that's all I had to go on about America, *I'd* want to kill us all, too!!
But that doesn't last for long, because naturally, there are MUCH higher quality options available out there, such as.... JUDGE JOE BROWN?!?! GodDAMN. I thought that stuff was on TV just for background noise. I never realized that there were people who would CHOOSE to watch it.
Particularly over news -- on a day when a new Supreme Court Justice has been nominated. I mean, that doesn't happen very frequently -- don't they care in the *least* what's actually HAPPENING in the world?! Or short of that, what's being reported on the TV news?
It was frustrating, and disgusting, and I just needed to say something to someone. Thanks for bein' here. :-)

Hey- at least you get to choose the channel. Maury and Judge Judy are always on my gym. They have three TVs grouped together in several spots, so you get three choices of what to watch. It's usually some combination of Maury/Judge Judy/CNN/ESPN. If I go at the right time, I do get to catch Jeopardy, which is the best show for gym-going in my opinion because the questions (answers?) are in a very large font. The bouncing makes it hard to read subtitles, and I don't ever have a radio with me to

See? There's your mistake right there. Never take your headphones off - that is just signalling the you are available for random, inane chit-chat.
Next time your battery runs out, keep the headphones on and people will think you are still listening to music. Half the time when I wear headphones at work they're not even plugged in,

Rumor has it that she plans to wear a leather catsuit under her robes and hold regular, public makeout sessions with Ruth Bader Ginsburg if she gets appointed. Turn-ons? Lime Jell-o and her "Big Dick Rambone" dildo!
Now TELL me she doesn't belong on the bench of the highest court in the land!?

No seriously.
A while back Maury had a show with home-video footage or some such. (Today at 4pm for isntance you can see "Maury: Brutal Attacks and Sex Crimes...Caught on Tape" Enjoy!) Several clips showed childen being violently abused. One clips showed an elderly woman being beaten so bad she later died from it.
Let me say that again:
They showed a clip of a woman.
Being beaten.
To death.
During day time TV.
And there's a great big fucking moral outrage over animated "nudity" involving made-up computer ge

I gave my TV away when I moved, two months ago. I had already stopped watching broadcast TV for the most part... then I had to cancel the cable... and TV and I just sort of drifted apart. I didn't need the TV anymore.
Now I find stuff to do... and no longer see *hours* of advertisements... or murders intended to be "entertaining".

I dunno, I think the RR are driving the "OMIGAWDWONTSOMEONETHINKOFTHECHILDRENWENEEDMORELAW STOPROTECTTHEMFROMCARTOONVIOLENCEANDSEX" lobby.
As disturbing as Maury's show is, I wouldn't want it made illegal or censored. I just think America's got fucked up values when that's OK for daytime TV but a nipple flashed causes armaggeddon.
If anything, I'm for more violence and sex on TV!

While running on the ellipticals, I prefer [xanga.com] the worst show on television [jerryspringertv.com]. If my entertainment is too interesting, then I start slowing down to pay attention to it. If it is too boring, I get tired quicker. That show is so bad it is fun to watch and hits the sweet spot. Besides, there is nothing like watching overweight men and women living in vans down by the river [wikipedia.org] to motivate you. :-D
