Animals on TV

Has anyone seen "Bad Girls Club?" We've reached an all-time low. And it's in season 3, apparently!

So it's this TV reality show where this group of self-proclaimed 'bad girls' live in a house together and they are boozed and sexed up and fight and spit and scream at each other. It's on Oprah's channel, Oxygen, which was started to be the woman's channel of choice.

Oprah must be spinning in her grave.

How is this degrading exploitative show in any way a positive commentary on the woman of today? It's absolutely awful. I can't believe there is a human being out there who gave a green light to this show and thought that this is a good idea.

Yes, I know that Oprah is no longer affiliated with Oxygen (she sold her stake in it to NBC) and Oprah is really beyond gender identification, but didn't some semblance of the original vision of Oprah, some tiny thread of history, remain in their mission statement?

It was a late night, I couldn't sleep, and I was newsed out. Never again. Gender equality has been set back 40 years. No,more than that, because these women are absolute neanderthals. And Star Jones was hosting this reunion of the "Bad Girls." Have you seen her recently? What the hell is that? There's something physiologically wrong with her. If her options are to be fat or be like she is now, fat should be a serious consideration.

Israel called the other day. Not the country - the hot guy from Mexico, now Montreal. He left a message, as I was at work and couldn't pick up the phone. It was the most adorable message ever, and I have it saved and listen to it regularly. Am I getting charged for each time I call my voice mail? I should check into it. I went on a date(!) last Sunday with this really nice guy, but I couldn't stop thinking about Israel. Michael (the date(!)) is a super nice guy and very handsome and charming, but it's safe to say that we can be friends. It was nice to have a real date of sorts, though.

In the meantime, Jeff and I are maintaining phone contact. He's this other guy I met and he has the sexiest voice over. Very great guy and professional and respectable and handsome, but he's very busy and we have not had the opportunity to see each other, so we 'phone date.' That's OK for now, but we should see each other in person soon, or I'm gonna have to cut him off. 8 months from now, or it's oversville!

And Rosie is doing this really good thing by auctioning off things as a fundraiser for her Rosie's Kids organization. BUT she's auctioning off a VIP package to Ringling Brothers Circus? Ringling Brothers is currently in federal court defending its right to ABUSE ANIMALS!!! Look it up! People that know me know my history with animal rights. I've spoken to groups, I've protested, I've tried to educate people in the streets about what they are doing that is abusive or neglectful to their pet, and Rosie has made numerous claims as to her support for animals. SO WHY ARE YOU SUPPORTING THE CIRCUS, ROSIE? http://www.ticketnews.com/ASPCA-v-Feld-Entertainment-trial-rescheduled-to-next-year1186284

But I want to have lunch with Gavin Creel. It's part of the auction.
