...and thus am not home during the day to be exposed to what's on television in between the Today show and the Yankee game. dear god, i was on Perez Hilton just now and watched a clip he posted of Rosie & Elizabeth's latest feud on The View. it was the first clip i actually watched, though i've heard (too much) about their fights, the tears, the gnashing of the teeth, etc. it was the single most grating thing i've watched on television since that two-hour Grey's Anatomy episode where Addison went to L.A. i mean, seriously - this qualifies as television? i had no idea what they were even fighting about after 15 seconds of it! i don't think they did either. how these two can claim to be "friends" is beyond me. and how the show's ratings have increased since these two started going at it is even harder to comprehend. the ironic-est part of it is that Joy started out talking about Al Gore's book and that he wrote how the O.J. Simpson trial turned out not to be an anomaly but the beginning of an incredibly (and still ongoing) dark period for television news. The View is feeding right into that now, just one more in a string of freak shows masquerading as TV programs, airing almost 10 minutes of two shrill, insecure women arguing about nothing.
you can't see me, but i'm shuddering.
