Quick thoughts

1. If Lebron James was a white guy, he'd be the biggest celebrity in the world. Bigger than Oprah, Bill Gates, Paul McCartney, Will Smith, and Tiger Woods combined divided by Paris Hilton. (My logic is huge celebrity divided by minuscule celebrity is even bigger celebrity. Like 100 divided by .5 is 200. Nevermind.)

2. We probably shouldn't mess with North Korea now. We should mess with that thing called "The United States as a country is stupid as hell".

3. Megan Fox being in Transformers 2 offends me. Not because I think she is a bad actress or something. Because she has no reason to be in the movie. I mean honestly, it's Shia LeBouf's (I can't remember character names) car that's the Transformer. They clearly put her in the movie because she is hot in a Pamela Anderson 1993 type of way. It's 2009. I understand there needs to be a leading lady in every movie to prevent sausage riots but seriously. How does she end up conveniently in the middle of their battles. Serving absolutely no purpose but to be pretty. It annoys me.

4. Thinking about it now, the PS3 is probably never gonna pass XBOX360 or Wii. They basically F'd up like they did with the PSP. The technology is too innovative for people to understand. And once people do understand, other cooler things are in the process of being made. The PS3 and PSP are cool as hell, but not cool as hell enough.

5. Reality shows are popular because most people are stupid as hell. Sad as hell. Stop living your lives and dreams through other people and do it on your own. I'm pretty sure someone like Lauren Conrad from "The Hills" doesn't give a shit about you. And watching her doesn't make your ugly ass any prettier. Your life does not improve by watching those midgets on TLC.

Once can argue that sports are reality TV. So a smart-ass would say that most men must be losers for watching that then. Absolutely not. I'd say men watch sports because they admire the skills of these athletes. Fans understand the complexity of the things these athletes do so they can't help but appreciate their excellence. Plus fans can pick up a baseball or a basketball or whatever. People don't watch sport based on envy or jealously. They don't watch it to see athletes blow up or ruin their lives. People want to see the the people at the highest level of what they do be the best they can be. On the contrary, people watch the show with the family with 18 kids because they are a damn sideshow. When I flip the channels and pass that show, I think, "I'd rather be kicked in the leg by a toddler until it broke than be her vagina." Half the time people watch reality TV because they want to see failure and embarrassment. What viewers don't realize is these people are paid. So no matter how much they look like a clown, they collect checks. While you pay cable and electricity to watch them.
