CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 9:00 am

File under Week 9 of 2010.

March came in like a baby lamb on Monday after the conclusion of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. There were some great moments.

February and March have also proven to be difficult times for me as a parent. I won’t share the details here (and if you know them, please don’t comment on them in this forum). Suffice it to say that teenagers can be very tough on their parents. Nuf said.

I have been suffering from a bout with pneumonia for the last two weeks. It has taken a toll as I have been forced to catch up a little with The View and Oprah (not really). My work has suffered and I am weeks behind and may never get caught up. That will not stop me for gearing up for JuggFest on 3-19 which happen to correspond to the 50th annivesary of the birth of Yarbz. Two weeks and counting.

On Wednesday, I caught a few minutes of the Tyra Banks Show. Why this woman has her own TV show/podium/soapbox is beyond me, but I digress. They had two girls on who were models and promoting something they called BIO. It stands for Beauty Inside and Out. The two teen models had both prepared videos for the show. The first featured a young Caucasian woman who took off her jewelry and her make up during her video and said that people from her “generation” would be making consumer decisions based on how women were featured in advertising. Those products whose adverts used women as objects would be ignored and boycotted. The second video was made by a young African American woman whose message was basically the same, but she had a real attention grabber at the beginning of her video that started by her saying the words “bitch” “ho” and “slut”. She asked if the music industry was listening because any commercial enterprise that featured women degrading themselves and “bouncing around while dollar bills were being thrown at them” was destined for failure due to the new BIO efforts. I report this only because of the delicious irony that immediately followed when the show went to a commercial after Ms. Banks had gushed all over these two and lavished them with praise for “the cause”. Note this was coming from one of the world’s most famous supermodels. The commercial that immediately followed had a beautiful women coming out of a pool while adjusting the front of the bottom portion of her very skimpy bikini. God, I love truth on TV. I wanted to throw dollars at it. Hypocrites piss me off. And let’s not forget that Ms. Banks also has another show that compares the assets of various women who want to be America’s Next Top Model, a show I find to be cruel and humilitating to the contestants (but I have only seen a few moments of it). Is she trying to look stupid or just trying to make herself feel better that she is part of the problem (if in fact there is a problem, cause I ain’t real sure).

Twenty three year old Jeremiah Scott leads our list of Fucktards this week. OMG.

In a story that combines both hypocrisy and Fucktardary, check out this one on CA State Senator Roy Ashburn.

One more this week: Jessie Canfield. Another OMG for this young Fucktard.

Here is a little tidbit for Yarbz: Cuse #1 for first time in 20 years. I still think Kansas will be the team to beat in the tournament that begins soon.

Is gun ownership a fundamental right in America? I certainly think it is and so did the founding fathers.

In case you were wondering, It’s official: An asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs.

Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.
