Weekly Dose of Hatred


This hatred has been a long time coming and I have to thank Fiat for making it possible. Before they decided that a horrible, ill tempered, hispanic woman who's only real claim to fame is an ass only slightly smaller than her ego would make a fantastic spokesperson for an Italian car that hasn't been mentioned outside of crossword puzzles in years, I was content to never even think about the subject of this week's hatred. (That popping sound you hear is the head of every English teacher I've ever had after reading that sentence.)

I hate Jennifer Lopez.

I cannot, for the life of me, recall enjoying anything with this spoiled overwhelmingly untalented crapstain of a woman in it. Once in college I dated a girl who forced me to watch "Maid in Manhattan". Her argument was that it was an 'awesome movie' and I was 'going to love it.' It was not and I did not.

"Gigli". If you enjoyed that movie I want you to turn off your computer. You have no only lost all TBA privileges but you are also no longer allowed on the internet. I have spoken to Al Gore and the rest of the people that run the internet and we all feel the same way. If you liked "Gigli", you are hereby banned from the world wide web.

Completely oblivious to her own shortcomings as an actress, recording 'artist', and human being Jennifer Lopez has a long history of ridiculous demands and despicable behavior:

The Shitty Tipper Database has a full list of entries about how poorly this multi millionaire treats people in the service industry, leaving 2 dollars on a 752 dollar check, 3 dollars on a 732 dollar check, 25 cents on a 625 dollar check and left nothing twice, on tabs of 387 and 245 dollars.

One of my favorite websites What Would Tyler Durden Do came across a portion of a rider Jennifer Lopez demands at any of her appearances.

And the latest from a woman so horrible that even Marc Anthony refused to keep her around as his beard:

"While Lopez (would) have consumers believe she returned to the gritty streets of her hometown, she actually never set foot in the Bronx during the filming of the Fiat spots.
Instead, the role of “Jenny from the Block” was played by a body double.
While the Lopez lookalike was actually behind the wheel in the Bronx, Lopez herself was in Los Angeles, where she was filmed inside a Fiat 500.
The shots of the actress were artfully merged to make it appear that she was tooling around New York City’s poorest borough." The Smoking Gun


And by far the worst thing she's done is to become a judge on "American Idol", which along with "The Big Bang Theory" is destroying my beloved "Community". See what I did there? It all comes back to "Community".

That's talent.

Weekly Dose of Hatred



Today's WDoH is brought to you by all the assholes that tune in to make shows like Dancing with the "Stars", American Idol, and X Factor national phenomenons. I might hate them more than

I hate televised talent shows.


I cannot, for the life of me, understand the appeal of glorified talent shows. Shows like American Idol, America's Got Talent, Sing Off, Dancing/Skating with the "Stars", and the newest polished turd to come out of Simon Cowell...The X Factor offer next to no perceived value to anyone except the people that win them and become famous for 3-4 weeks before the next talent show wraps up. What causes millions upon millions of Americans to flock to their televisions in eager anticipation to watch Chaz Bono and Nancy Grace shake their respective fat parts while their dance professional partners struggle to keep up with their "star" partner's spastic movements? Do people love the fact that their vote counts, because unless you enjoy watching the previously mentioned lumps of humanity, your votes don't count.

Talent shows are things that children hold at summer camp. Raise your hand if your kid has ever brought home a flier from school asking for volunteers for their reenactment of a single camera situation comedy. Anyone got kids doing a procedural cop drama show at their local elementary school? Has anyone reading this post ever been to a summer camp that had a special "Parent's Weekend Talk Show"? Exactly, televised talent shows are probably the lowest form of entertainment. Except of course for anything on MTV.

It's maddening that out of the top 20 network shows every single week, 5-6 of them are 'Talent Show' and 'Talent Show Results Show'. Americans not only love to watch these mostly talent less piles of garbage shake and sing for the approval of millions of texting fans but they love to watch the horrible pop culture icons these shows create. Case in point, William Hung.

I'm calling it right now. We are about 2-3 years away from a legitimate network (I'm looking at you CBS) airing an entire hour of awkward, horribly unfunny kids doing inane skits in the log cabin cafeteria of Camp Anawanna. And no, Saturday Night Live doesn't count...they have their own set.
