#1SW: Three's a Crowd

(This edition was supposed to be released early last month, but things got in the way.)

Welcome to 1 Season Wonder, a segment of Maroon Mondays. Here's how it goes.
I scour across the Internet and find TV shows with only 1 season, watch them, see if I enjoyed them, talk about them here and put them in a list of 1-Season Wonders. It sounds easy as it looks, right? No, you actually have to find these shows, watch through them hoping they're not as painful as they were the first time, and debate with yourself to see if it makes the list. If that sounds challenging and you want it that way, then let's do it.

Remember Three’s Company? Yeah? Well, it had a spin-off. No, not that spin-off. Yep, it had another one. And ooohh, the theme song.

It’s Three's a Crowd.

Three's a Crowd is a spin-off of Three's Company, one of the most iconic sitcoms of the 1970s, and one of the bustiest. Starring John Ritter as the clumsy, goofy and always hilarious Jack Tripper, Jack moves on from the life of living in a shared pad with two super-duper sexy ladies, to the life with another super-duper sexy lady, his girlfriend Victoria (let's call her Vicky), played by Mary Cadorette.

But standing in the way between Jack and Vicky (and her hot body) is Vicky's father James, (played by Robert Mandan of Soap and Search for Tomorrow) who really doesn’t like Jack and tries hard to destroy the couple’s relationship, but to no avail, as their strong love always prevails to the end. Vicky loves Jack, but doesn’t want to marry him yet because they might get a divorce like her parents did. So the show is about the trials and tribulations of their courtship and such.

Too bad she doesn’t know about Jack’s life on Three’s Company. Jack, a cook, owns a restaurant in Santa Monica, CA, called Jack's Bistro, with a slow-willed, but very cool and easy-going guy named...E.Z., played by Alan Campbell. Jack also owns an apartment just upstairs, where he and Vicky live. I also want to mention that it was strange that Jack and Vicky met and fell in love so close to the end of Three’s Company. I have heard of people who meet and go so fast into love so quickly, but to have this happen at the end and set that up as the basis of a spin-off is kinda weird to me.

This show (like its parent series) is based on sitcom in Great Britain. This is based on Robin's Nest, while Company is based on Man About the House. While the Company was a huge success from the start, Crowd was barely noticeable in the ratings, and did well enough for a bid for next season. Unfortunately, it didn’t. Ritter was in negotiations with ABC on the length of season 2. the network wanted 13 episodes with 9 more if it does good in the ratings, while John wanted the full 22 order. Since neither budged, the show ended for good.

I really like this show. In fact, I enjoy it a little more than the parent series. As much as I love Three's Company, I can do without the legs, boobs, sex talk and skin sweaters all the time. It just feels so light and sweet with as much of Jack retained here. And there's also some of the characters I like too; the sugar-and-spice personality of Vicky, the jerk with a heart facade of James, and goofy-yet-laid-back personality of E.Z. As I much as I will respect the decisions made by Ritter and the network, I wish this show would have go on with the 13-episode second season. I enjoy Jack’s wacky antics, the constant back-and-forth between Jack and James, the sweet scenes between Jack and Vicky, and...basically everything E.Z. does.

The show is currently in reruns on Antenna TV (for now though, you’ll have to wait for it to air since Three’s Company is currently on the schedule. I may let you know.) You may also find some episodes on YouTube, with the first episode at the top of the page. (Don’t read the comments, though; they’re kinda rough. Apparently, people remember Three’s Company fondly. Don’t blame them, but still.)

And there it is, Three's a Crowd, the fifth addition of the 1 Season Wonder segment, added to the list of 1 Season Wonders and that after show of Three's Company that didn't last...but has a wonderful theme song.

Tune in next time, when I have some special editions planned for you guys. I can't wait to show them for you during Maroon May. See ya then...

Parent Kicks Their Own Kid Down Skate Ramp

Real quickly--This is sad. And disgusting.

This is the best vid I could find on YT. The others are just crappy stills lasting 30 or more seconds. Ignore the voices of the hosts of Fox and Friends as it plays. Just click mute.

This "parent" Marcus Crossland kicks his 6-year-old Dino son down a skate ramp. This is grade B child abuse. I don't care if it's tough love or if this teaches his child what pain from falling 20 feet feels like. Yes, my parents smacked me around when I was a kid, but that was because I've done some stupid things. Fortunately I never owned skateboard and Philadelphia never had a skate park that I knew of. And my parents would never have the gall to kick me off a skate ramp. They'd rather save their energy for an ass-whooping.

Donald Sterling: Old White Man Makes Raci--Ignorant Remarks

Hey, guys. Well, let's be Glad that anything we said these past few days could not be any more stranger than what this guy said (well, except Cliven Bundy).

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is in hot water this week. Last week, a phone call went public involving Sterling and his really younger girlfriend V. Stiviano, in which he tells her he doesn't want African Americans to appears in the stands at Clippers games and doesn't her to associate herself with African Americans in general. It all gets sadder and stranger (and funnier) from here.

This all came after he sees a photo of Stiviano on Instagram with basketball legend Magic Johnson. Things get even more stranger when he mentions "removing" something, Stiv mentions she's mixed race, and that many blacks follow her on Instagram.

Here's the phone call here:


Talking to the enemy, my ass.
As much as I want to say "Oh man, he's a racist! He should be fired! The Clippers (and black people) deserve better than that!", I will say this. We're living in the United States. There are still people who are racist and say racist things, whether they mean it or not, and whether we like or not. We'll have to get used to used it. And even if that wasn't Sterling taking in the voicemail message (as he so claims it), he should've remembered something. His call would've been tapped or taped by anyone and that message will be sent online for millions to hear and be shocked by. When you're rich and famous, most things can never be private, no matter how hard you try to keep it that way. You'll either reveal something to your friends, family, and/or even the world yourself, or someone will find out about it and want to reveal it themselves with you looking blue in the face. That's something you (and in this case, Sterling) should remember.

And this stuck out to me:

If they were talking about a white man or white people in general, they would've had a completely different conversation. She should be applauded for standing up to him and his bull. To call him out like that was fantastic. She should win the internet for this. She already won me over.

Anyway, he should've just kept those thoughts to himself, because since he kept talking about it, things get even deeper and even more stupid. Remember the term "Ignorance is bliss"? Well, it fits here. Like a glove. If he doesn't want to work with black guys, he shouldn't have to work with black guys. He could've just sold the Clippers to another billionaire and not have to live life around Black people any more than he has to. And he doesn't have to say ignorant shit like that anymore, even in a private place.
But hey, money talks, don't it?

Also what he said about giving the players houses, food, cars--ect. They're playing the game. They don't get the money they earn from you most of the time. They get it from endorsement deals and sponsorships. Plus, they buy their own houses, cars, food and crap. You didn't. You only own the franchise, not the players.
And I'm sorry, but what he said about "Removing your race" was so really stupid, it's hilarious. There's no way you can "remove your race". Trust me, I've tried (JK). It's like saying "I want you to remove water from dirt", or "I must take the lighter fluid from this fire" or "I want to stop being your twin". That just can't happen. His words really put his true ignorance and stupidity out into the forefront.

Although, I will also keep an open mind. This isn't the worst bout of racism I've ever heard. There are people who have said worse things than him, whether documented or said under their breaths. It's even worse than him now and can be in the future, and it's more painful to bear. (Again, see Cliven Bundy.)

As for the Clippers, though--oh, they're in the playoffs this year. Well, I was gonna make a joke about this news not saving the fact that they still suck, but I won't anymore. Never mind. And the team did a great job staging a protest against their owner by throwing their jumper jackets on the court floor and wearing their jerseys inside out during the game against the Golden State Warriors. That took guts and bravery, and I applaud them for it.
Later...

Maroon May returns!!

Hey everyone. Remember Maroon May last year? No? Good. It was more or less terrible. But since this blog has been more or less successful straight after, I've decided to try again and do much better with the Maroon May segment and concept.

2 stories on Monday
1 story on Tuesday and Friday
and an occasional fifth on Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday.

Of course my always popular segments Short/Long Music Review and 1 Season Review will be a part so I will do something special. There will be 3 more SLMRs for the month and and TWO special 1SW will be revealed, on top of the one I already have planned. That will be released as a preview on May 1.

SLMR will be renamed Long/Short Music Review. The posts will be Longer and the songs are 1 song shorter.

So...I have a lot to work on for 1 single month. There isn't a lot of hype here, but I must live up to it.
I'm so glad to continue this and I hope you guys enjoy it too. See ya May 5.

New York Police's Epic #Hashtag Fail

Hey everyone. Need a laugh today? Dislike and/or distrust police? Check this out.

The New York Police Department is pretty well known around the country, yet because of this story, they've now become well-known around the world, for the wrong reason.

See, they have a presence on social media, and have noticed that many New Yorkers and tourists have taken pictures with officers and decided to take this to their advantage, by creating a hashtag and campaign by asking denizens of New York and tourists to send pictures of themselves with police officers (you know, should-to-shoulder, smiling, enjoying not being tasered or pistol-whipped) and tweet them with this hashtag: "#myNYPD".

Do you have a photo w/ a member of the NYPD? Tweet us & tag it #myNYPD. It may be featured on our Facebook. pic.twitter.com/mE2c3oSmm6

— NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) April 22, 2014

This happened the other night. This would seem to work, right? WRONG.

Apparently, people took this some other way by posting pictures of random people being beaten and arrested by police officers and use the hashtag alongside them! Some of them aren't even the NYPD! They're just random police officers from somewhere in the world! Because of this, #myNYPD has become the #1 trending topic in the WORLD! Mind you, this happened LAST. NIGHT. Here are some example straight from Twitter:

I could put so many here; they're just too rich.

I'm sorry, but I just find this hilarious. How some random people take pictures of busts and arrests by police officers and embarrass the NYPD in the same breadth just makes me laugh hard. As sad as the pictures are in context, the tweets, along with the situation, make them worthy of Conan or Arsenio or @midnight or The Daily Show or anything else on Comedy Central. Although the NYPD will not stop with the SoMed presence, they need to rethink the "show us how much you love us on social media" thing. This is a huge black eye for them, and a huge belly laugh for us.

I'll end this one with this: The people who made these tweets with the pictures and the humor and side-splitting and the [stammer] (Jerry Lewis joke)--well, they won the Internet yesterday.

Powdered Alcohol: Convenient or Convenient?

For those wanting to know what the title means, I was watching this report on Today yesterday and I saw this about powdered alcohol, the appeal, how it costs and if it's worth drinking. Some people say it's convenient to have alcohol right upon your reach to make and drink, while others say it's convenient (in a bad way) because children can notice a packet like those quick juice packets you get from the dollar store, make one and drink one; very unhealthy, but very easy to get.

I definitely agree with the people who say the latter. Not only will children grab those packets for no reason other than to find the answer to "Ooh, what's that?", and drink it; I think it's not healthy to drink for adults, either. Who knows what kinds of ingredients in mixed inside? That could cause internal injuries or bleeding or cheap high everyone's going for these days. I wouldn't drink this even if it'll save my life, unless I read the the Nutrition Facts first.

The company Pal-cohol, the maker of the puffy drink mixes, cleared a hurdle getting them past the federal agency that got it approved for sale. But it later changed its mind. Creator Mark Phillips says he's optimistic that these powders will be sold soon. He says that "The label issue doesn't mean that Pal-cohol isn't approved, but that the labels aren't approved".

On it's website, its makers say they're experimenting with adding it to food, but they don't know its potential. I kinda do; it means don't drink it with food! Either drink before or after! Obviously!
It also warns "not to snort the powder", as it's not a smart or responsible way to use the product". I've never heard of that happening (yet), but it was smart for them to say this, as there are some really stupid people who have found random everyday household items and use them for a cheap high (see: Hairspray, Whip-its, whipped cream cans, nail polish, bath salts, cat piss, Raid [the bug killing spray], ect.) so there's no telling when someone will take a Pal-cohol, start huffing, and make a video of it to send to YouTube.

I don't drink, but I do think Palcohol is going to be a thing of the past very soon. So this post may be the last you'll hear of it. Well, until something of an alcohol candy bar or mint or vitamin might come in the future. We're in for a sad future.

Portland Water Supply Flushed because Some DunbAsshole PISSED In It

Hey, again, everyone. If you want more American male stupidity and shame from his fellow man (and woman), keep on reading!
Last week in Portland, a guy walks by the city reservoir with some friends, then stops and looks around. He then decides to do the unthinkable: unzip his pants and begins begins to whiz. That's right. This dude urinated in the entire city water supply. Uhh, gross. One of the friends climbs the gate and reaches the water; he doesn't do anything.

Here's video of the whole thing.

I don't blame you if you don't see the actual moment when the dude starts pissing. It's very bleak.

Everyone already knows this, but I'm saying this straight up: this is stupid, disgusting, asinine and a complete waste of water. There are people in this city that truly need the water for everything: drinking, cooking, washing up, washing hands, and yes, going to the toilet. Now this dipshit ruins it for everyone. No one (at that time, anyway) will use fresh, clean water for their important needs. All because this guy wants to empty his bladder in a reservoir, of all places. He and the fake kidnapping guys should be on World's Dumbest just because.

They should lock this dickface up for for 3 years for ruining an entire city's worth of water supply. If this would happen in Philly (and that's a BIG if), the idiot who did it would be arrested the minute he pulls his zipper up. I'm honestly so glad the water supply has been flushed; I'd be damned if I ever let water with some guy's semen mixed in go through my system. I'm also glad the city of Portland has a lot of water left over. Who knew its usual rainy weather conditions would come into good use someday?

Men Kidknapped Child; Later Revealed to be HOAX

Hey, everyone. We all have something that sickens us. Some places in the Internet sicken me; including Porn websites, pop-up ads, ugly, messed-up sites, memes featuring body parts, ads featuring disgusting body parts, NetZero and prank videos that hurt people and ruin lives.
This is a reason the Internet sickens me.
Prank videos involving people hurting themselves, other people, or doing things to look as if they're pretending to hurt themselves or other people, and ruin others' lives. Something like the latter occurred last week when a video of a kidnapping hit YouTube and every female parent was outraged.

The vid took place at this park in Washington state. A guy runs up to the playground, kidnaps a young boy, and runs to his truck, where his cohort drives them and another dude away and to someplace and do God-fears-what.
Here's the twist: the 'napping was a prank, everything was videotaped, and the child was a relative. Yep, the boy is related to the idiots who made the video. They told police about what they were planning to do as clearance to make it happen, but word never got to everyone at the park. As soon as they went back to the park to take the child back to the swings and slides, angry parents were waiting and berated them for the stupid task. They said it was all fake and for awareness on child kidnapping, but they still were angry.

I didn't have the real thing, but here is an ABC News report that aired on Good Morning America:


The two knuckleheads (or lack of dirtier term), cousins Jason and Jesse Holden, taped the video. They claim that this is a "Public service" for child kidnapping, even though a disclaimer never appeared during the duration of the video. I don't buy it. I've seen many PSAs during my childhood, and, as cheesy as they are, I know what they are and what they teach me and other kids from the second they start. This looks cheap, cruddy, and not a generally-noticeable PSA.

I don't know who would find these pranks (especially this one) to be funny, but those who do are sad people indeed. I admit, I do laugh at some things I shouldn't, but this I will never laugh at. This crossed so many lines that even a real kidnapping wouldn't cross, And I think the guys responsible for it should get arrested and sent to jail. I don't care if they have a popular YouTube channel with hundreds of subscribers who expect a new video every week or month of them making other foolish videos of them hurting themselves of other people. This is stupid, and they know it, regardless.

The chief of police in Washington state says that "There's no law against stupid". Oh, if only. If there really was a crime, nearly half the nation would've gone to jail years ago.

Crazy Kid Stabs Fellow Students in Pittsburgh area School

Not to be humorous, but it's always the quiet ones that end up crazy.

Last Tuesday, in the Pittsburgh suburbs, a male Sophomore student at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, Pa., went on a violent rampage, stabbing 20 students in classrooms and in the school hallway. At least eight were hospitalized with serious injuries, many with deep puncture wounds to the abdomen, hospital officials said. Doctors said a 17-year-old male student was in critical condition after being stabbed in his liver, diaphragm and major blood vessels; thankfully, the blade missed his heart and aorta during the attack. The school's officials said a fire alarm triggered the incident, with students and faculty fleeing the school, and the almost-killer going for the attack. Murrysville Police Chief Thomas Seefeld said the suspect, 16-year-old Alex Hribal, who is in custody, was being treated for injuries to his hand. The 16-year-old sophomore was tackled by Assistant Principal Sam King and handcuffed by a security guard.

Hribal was taken into custody and treated for a minor hand wound, then was brought into court in shackles and a hospital gown and charged with four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault. He was jailed without bail, and authorities said he would be prosecuted as an adult. At the brief hearing, District Attorney John Peck said that after he was seized, Hribal made comments suggesting he wanted to die.

You know things like this are really sad, especially when you get into the details. No one knows why this young man committed this crime, and how the weapon got past school security. But this, nonetheless, baffles me.

You know, I was once also a quiet and shy kid in high school. I did have friends, but it was kind of a surprise that I had any. I was even in the school yearbook superlatives as..."Most Shy".

Yes, that was a thing. Ant the haircut? That happened. (Sigh)

I don't know if they had that sort of thing for years or felt so sorry for me, that they put me somewhere in the book. Oh, and that girl standing next to me? Didn't need to be there anyway, but thank God I wasn't the only one, I would've been embarrassed until I turn 50.

Anyway, I feel shocked that a kid like me and him could snap so hard and do something so shocking to people he doesn't know. Even if they were bullies to him, it's still no excuse to take even a pea shooter to school and shoot some people with it. As much as I want to somehow hate the dude for pulling such a crime, I can't help but feel sorry for him. He went to high school probably have a safe time, making friends, being on good terms with teachers, and hoping to make this some of the best years of his young life. I was just like him. High School life isn't perfect all the time, so we can't expect a good time every day, and expect the worst all the time.

Thank God no one was killed. I feared this would turn into an American version of the incident in Oslo, Norway in 2011 or another Sandy Hook or Dark Knight Rises shooting. Fortunately (and miraculously), it didn't. I wish the victims and their families a safe and peaceful life ahead, the dude the best in the jail he'll be staying in for a few years, if not decades.

1 Season Wonder - Marvin Marvin

Welcome to 1 Season Wonder, a segment of Maroon Mondays. Here's how it goes.
I scour across the Internet and find TV shows with only 1 season, watch them, see if I enjoyed them, talk about them here and put them in a list of 1-Season Wonders. It sounds easy as it looks, right? No, you actually have to find these shows, watch through them hoping they're not as painful as they were the first time, and debate with yourself to see if it makes the list. If that sounds challenging and you want it that way, then let's do it.

This time around, It's Aliens in America--no, I'll work on that some other time--but this show does have an alien, and does take place in America, but this is-no, was-for the kids. So we couldn't expect anal probing, mind reading, alien-vomit-spewing or the occasional learning of American culture--at least until after the first episode. This show is basically My Favorite Martian for the wrong demo (and decade). Oh and Fred Figglehorn's in it. It's Marvin Marvin.

It's kinda...Meh? Seriously though, it's basically your run-of-the-mill kids' show: a mix of odd characters: The Weirdo, the Smartass, the Idiot, the other Idiot, the Bumbling-as-F*ck Dad, and the Older and therefore Better Than You Mom. It happens with every other Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and maybe Cartoon Network show since That's So Raven. These generic elements (along with a laugh track) really annoy me among other things (including the fact that all DC sitcoms kinda look the same to me now), but I get used to that.

I pretty much have a love/hate relationship with Nick shows that aren't created by Dan Schneider. The "love" part because they don't have the Schneider Sch-pecialty: pretty much making humor from anything: cranky, kooky old people; greedy, annoying, snot-nosed kids; people with "special" problems; mentally retarded people; pudding; ointments--anything. That annoys the hell out of me. And the "hate" part is they all kinda suck in a sense. This show is one of them. It's not terrible, but it's not really good either.

Marvin Marvin is about an alien named--well, Marvin--who comes from the planet Klooton, sent to Earth by his parents during an invasion from the evil Klerg, a rival race in some battle with the Klootons. After successfully landing on Earth, Marvin gets scared and moves to some Auntie and Uncles in Bel-A--just kidding. He meets a family from

I do enjoy this show. It's not horrible (but not great too), and it would've been nice to see at least another season. I'd kill through good time for that. If I can get through two seasons of iCarly and Victorious, then I guess I might get through one season of this. Unforturnately, I'm wrong at times.

I can't find episodes for this show, because Nick removed all traces of this show since its cancellation (or people find it so repulsive, they destroyed all traces of it because it's that bad. So I don't blame anyone either way.)

And there it is, Marvin Marvin, the fourth addition of the 1 Season Wonder segment, added to the list of 1 Season Wonders and will forever be known as the second straight series Lucas Cruikshank starred in for Nickelodeon...that is short-lived.

Tune in next time, when I review a spin-off of one of the most iconic (and sexiest) shows of the 70s. In fact, I enjoy the spin-off better than the main show itself. And then there's the theme song...WOW.
I'll see you next time, but until then, keep your television shows close and the pieces of crap closer.

POST #101: Sam & Cat-roversy

You don't see this happen every day. Or maybe you do.
Nickelodeon's hit series Sam & Cat is probably in disarray and its star Jennette McCurdy is on full damage control...because of this.

and this
 

aaaand this.

Mmm-mm-mmm.

These pictures of her were leaked last week. Jennette claims that an ex-boyfriend, Detroit Pistons star Andre Drummond, leaked them after hearing her mock him on a local podcast for being a bad kisser. (If that's true, this guy's a disgusting jerk, and probably deserves the wrath of Jennette's fans.) Because of these pics, the show has been put on hiatus with McCurdy being in a painful and public battle with Nickelodeon, the network that made her a star. The crux of this came when Jen didn't show up at last weekend’s Kids' Choice Awards. Some sources say that she was pissed when she and co-star Ariana Grande were nominated for the same award in the same category: Favorite TV Actress. Ariana won.
I honestly think she didn't attend because she didn't want to face questions about the leaked images. Some have said that these pics would ruin her career, but I think these will help her for the better. The pics being shown all around the world more than a typical episode of Sam & Cat will probably make her more well-known like Ariana's song music career has helped her.

You know, I heard everyone say stuff like what I'm gonna say for a long while, but Jennette McCurdy is NOT a little girl anymore. She was still barely a girl when iCarly was in its last two seasons. Any female on a kids' show or teens' show isn't and won't be a little girl for a long time. You can pretty much expect one to make sexy pictures either when the show is in its final season or when it ends. She may be playing a character on a television series, but even the youngest of fans know that Jennette is not playing a teenager on this show. She's almost a grown adult here.

Same with Ariana. In fact, she already has a successful career as an R&B artist. She’s gonna show off some skin in a music video sometime or another. And the prototype cover of her debut album looked like this.

It could've been sleepwear, but still...

There's also no way you'd think a near grown adult would still be referred to as a little girl just because she plays one (with the grating voice, brain capacity and attention span of an 8-year-old) on a kids’ show. Hell, even Lisa Simpson acts more grown than usual too, and not just because her voice actress Yeardley Smith is pushing 50. Ariana will get through this the same way Jennette will.


It's hilarious that some people still act shocked that a girl from a kids’ show is acting risque now that she’s an adult. It's happened to Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, Raven-Symone (she's a lesbian now!), Vanessa Hudgens, Britney Spears, and some others. And it could soon happen to other girls like Zendaya, G. Hannelius, Cymphonique, Keke Palmer, the girl from The Thundermans, the other girl from The Thundermans (sorry for the cheap joke, if you think it was one.), Laura Marano, Raini Rodriguez, Olivia Holt, China McClain, Sierra McCormick, Brigit Mendler; you get the idea. I bet you, any of the girls mentioned here, and many others that make a kids' show, might, in the next few years, do exact same thing; and the pic either they show themselves or get leaked, will either make or break their careers. And if they don’t do this, then thank God. They really don’t need to.

As for Sam & Cat, this is a real shocker. This show is a huge (sorta) hit for Nickelodeon. Every other kid watches it and likes these characters (well, except me; I find them irritating). The fact this show didn't get second season earlier instead of having this 40-fucking-episode 1st season shocks me. And understandable too; because of this, the cast and crew have been suffering a lot from the pain of working 40 straight tapings of these episodes. In fact, I think this is a blessing for them. This taping schedule is so damn absurd. I also enjoy the show for its other characters Dice (he’s not creepy or annoying), Nona (not a kooky, cranky old bitch) and even Goomer (Meh. He’s fine...and stupid). I hope everything sorts out between Jennette and Nickelodeon and that the show comes back well. I don't care for a TV show for my personal gain or close-ness to it; I just hope she get through this--like the show’s theme song--Just fine.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

POST #100: Mets Star Misses Opening Day for Baby's Birth; Radio Hosts & Fans Pissed

Man, people can be absolute callous dipshits.

Example: New York Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy took a leave from the team to go to the hospital to help his wife Victoria Ahem give birth to their first child. When news broke out, New York sports talk hosts got angry about it, and took to their mics to voice their utmost displeasure.

Here's how WFAN host Mike Francesca discussed the "controversy":

Hire a nurse, my ass, Mike.

And CBS Sports Network hosts Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton had this to say:

I don't know who Skinhead was before, but I hate him now. And really, Boomer? Make your wife get a C-section? Screw you! I know in my relationships, the women always had the upper hand. So I never make the female do anything this painful and absurd.

I may hear them say these words in ears, but this is what I hear in my mind:
Boo-hoo!! Daniel Murphy's left the Mets to fend for themselves while he goes to the hospital to give birth to his and his wife's baby!! And now they're gonna lose and we're so saaaaadd!! Our second-best player is gone!!

The person who wrote the article at a website called SportingNews.com put it best:

While opening day is held in high regard among baseball aficionados, it really is nothing more than the first of 162 games.

I mean Seriously? You do know your favorite team loses a game, too, right?

I have a question for the talk show hosts and their listeners/fans:
If you were a part of the Mets or any other MLB team (and any other sports team, for that matter), with you believing that this job is so important to you, nothing will stand in your way; and your wife is about to give birth on Opening Day, would you leave to help give birth?

If you said "yes", you're a fucking hypocrite. Not only are you stupid to say that this man should have put his team first rather than his family, you're a hypocrite for saying that because you yourself are doing that. I know that you all have kids and a radio show at the same time; so by the same logic, implying that if your wife would give birth while you're doing the job that you believe is so important to you, you'd probably stay at that job. Because Sports stars need to stay doing their jobs, while many things come their way: a birth, death in the family, tornado, fire, murder, whatever.

If you said "no", you're the saddest motherfucker in this country. How could you miss one of the most important days of your life, stranding by your wife's side giving birth to your baby, while you're out doing stupid shit God-knows-where? I'm not saying anyone should force you to go through this. I'm saying going to MLB Opening Day with the rest of your team or your friends, while your wife is giving birth, is really the dumbest thing you'll ever do in a marriage. And when it all ends, she'll be pissed, you'll sleep on the couch, if not the park, she'll talk about it to all her friends and label you a pathetic husband, and then you two get a divorce. It might happen, I don't know.

Sports stars also have families, too, you know. Their jobs are important for the most part, yes; but so are their families. Just because you want to give birth on the day that happens, and then go straight to work the next day, doesn't mean he should. You all can't force him to do what you think he should do. You are not him.

The thing is, the radio hosts and the fans were stupid to openly discuss this in the first place. And I should be stupid to waste my time with this subject in the first place. And I'm a baseball fan; Thank God I'm not a true fan.

An Editorial from Grandpop

Hi everyone.

Today I make a rare decision, and release a post with content from an outsider: my grandfather Andre Pollard II.
He wants to release this editorial to everyone to share his disgust in a certain subject in this country: Youth in America today. On his behalf, I hope you enjoy his op-ed and learn that from his point of view, that teenagers are shit to deal with. Enjoy.

Hello. My name is Andre Robert Duvall Pollard. I’m 67 years old, and I come the city of Philadelphia, PA. And today, I am making this message, with the help of my grandson, Andrew, to tell about my disgust about this new generation of people in this country.

1. Their Behavior- Oh, dear Lord. I’ve never seen a generation of whippersnappers (not a word I’d use to describe them) act so callous and rude. Every time I see one, it acts rude to its parents; talking back, saying curse words, making actual threats. It’s sickening. It makes me want to go over there and hit it over the head with my cane. They act like they’re grown-up, like an adult. I think they’re more like overgrown babies. And even babies have more common sense and tact than them.

2. Television- Back then, when television was good, there were actors that gave their all so we can enjoy quality television week after week and year after year, and there was only three channels, so there wasn’t any difficulty choosing which to watch. even then, there was a wonderful variety of programs has consistently gone down the toilet. Now we have shows that ruin our brains and turn braindead mindless electronic zombies. Programs like The Jersey Shore, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Walking Dead (it’s about zombies; why is it so popular?), Teen Mom, and Sam & Cat (the red-headed one’s an airhead; at least she’s smarter than my grandson, who got held back in the 3rd grade three times!! Lord knows, whatever’s in her brain is slightly cleaner than whatever’s in his) make this medium a barren vast wasteland. I guess Newton Minnow was right.


3. Music-They music they listen to is filth. All the things the “artists” or the thing I really should
music they listen to is filth. All the things the “artists” or whatever I should call them, talk
about are money, drugs, liquor, women, how they treat said women like objects, making them dance disgusting dance moves and calling people things like “niggas”, “bitches”, “hoes”, “broads” and “slut” among other things. Idiots like Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Miley Cyrus (ugh, someone needs to put her in a chemical bath), Katy Perry, LMFAO, and Pitbull (I don’t know if he named it himself, or if that’s a part of his given name. And what’s with his mouth?!) Fill the radio with disgusting. Back then even the dirtiest songs has class, cleanliness, and most importantly, TALENT! Because you don’t have any, and you all should be lucky to have careers, and the money to survive until the 20th anniversary of your deaths, it makes me angry that you all brag about it all while we are suffering to eat soup and crackers at the senior center on Tomato Tuesday!

4. Dancing-the dancing today is putrid and vile. All the females shaking the rear end, wishing for a man to be behind them to make their days go better. Then they hope to be lucky to get lucky. Dancing wasn’t so gross back in the day. The moves may look hard, but were easier than the kids who performs such moves.

5. Clothing- Every time I go out, I see kids and teenagers dressed, they wear these tight, uncomfortable, and expensive clothes like they just left Detroit. Where they get them them, and why they wear them to believe they’ll impress other people will always somehow cross my mind like the names appear across the clothes. And don’t get me started of the heavyset females! They’re the worst. You all think you’re sexy, but I’ve got news for you: No matter what people like Mo’Nique tell you: Loving yourself won’t escape the fact that you’re morbidly fat and wearing clothes that only teenage girls wear. Do yourselves a favor, and wear clothes that can actually

6. And bedding a woman for the “halibut” (not a typo) is so disgusting. There are tricks and trades and whatnot. Back then, if your parent give you the talk first, we’d wait until we’re married to have sex and we knew that children would be a consequence if we didn’t want any. We’re not stupid.

Now before you begin to rant and criticize about my article, I get it. I get that we’ve done things similar to you all way back then. The dancing, the clothes, the attitude and behavior. We’ve done it before too. But the difference between us and you all is that what we did back then is more classy and innocent than what you all are doing today. No social media (whatever that means), no loud, bass-blasting music, no stupid, terrible television programs that run on sex, drugs and/or toilet humor than quality and talent; no anything made before 1991. Just innocence and cleanliness.
Now run and tell that, you disgusting pigs. That fact that we, the elderly (or “elderies” as that stupid redhead Cat would call them) are in a world run by mindless, crazy, ignorant, violence-driven, buttfaced nincompoops is a sad fact indeed. And I fear even more for the children of today and the future (including the wedlock love children of the slutty horny kids) to end up even worse.
God help us all.

Thank you all for reading and thank you to my grandpa Andre for the great read. And now I have an announcement to make: starting this month, this blog will no longer include opinions of random topics in the world of entertainment, national news and international, and just random thoughts in my head. Instead, I will talk of sex, the goings on in the world of soft-core pornography, bondage, the best deals in sex toys and vibrators, ninjas and why they're so cool and the occasional talk of the fantastic programming on Disney Channel. Recaps and live chats of such programming such as Austin & Ally, Dog with a Blog, Gravity Falls, Liv and Maddie, I Didn't Do It and Wander Over Yonder. I hope you all join me for the conversation in the months ahead.

Thank you and...
APRIL FOOLS.

Security Stupidity at 1 World Trade

Okay.
For the past few weeks and a half, One World Trade Center in New York City has gained a...sorta new reputation. Besides now being the largest building in the country, and a piece of welcome change in this country after the still-horrible September 11th attacks; 1WTC has now become a new target for people to scale and put in jeopardy.

Twice in the last six months, security guards were sleeping on the job while random people sneak through the security gate and scale the building. First a kid from New Jersey went to NYC and, after going past guards, scaled the entire building; scaled, from ground floor to spire. This Fortunately, he was caught and arrested.

And second, four workers who constructed the building snuck past security and reach the top of the building to do a shocking and scary stunt of skydiving straight from the top and reach the ground at a time when most of the City That Never Sleeps...well, sleeps. One of them taped video of the stunt as this happened. Here’s the video.

They later turned themselves in to the NYPD.

One time a guard (who was "half-blind", mind you) was caught on camera dozing off while work continued on the building's interior. Although it was in daylight, the fact he got hired, and the fact that he signed up for this job while he knows he's BLIND IN ONE EYE, with the other eye's vision crappy at best, is a mystery that even Dipper Pines can’t solve.

Although I love this country (I honestly do), there are reasons I hate living in it. Some of those are that anyone can be a kidnapper or murderer (even the prettiest ones), someone (anyone) will sneak past security at random places, the goddamn NAVY believes Cap'n frickin' Crunch is not a REAL captain (!!), and a kid can be smarter than police into doing anyone his bidding.
Now, I'm putting this out there for the people who are illogical enough I'm not criticizing the police; they do an awesome job, and should continue to do so. I'm criticizing the idiotic company hired the dumbasses who are sleeping on the post while random numbskulls sneak past them, scale the building, and do God-knows-what inside. Why hire these fools? It’s not cheap to do background checks and physical training on people before they even get a call to be rejected. And if that wasn't enough, President Obama made a message weeks ago saying that he's worried about a nuclear bomb going off in Manhattan more than attack from a foreign country. How calming.

Why not just hire Patrick Star?; He'll not only sleep and later sneak into the building at night, but somehow let everyone inside even for make-out sessions and weed trade. That’s how I feel, folks. Hate it? Comments at the bottom.

MaroonMondays Awards Review: Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2014

I'm not a kid anymore but I still watch the Kids' Choice Awards. It's the brightest, coolest, most colorful and humorous awards ceremony on television. I can't miss it every year and I change the channel left with a gut-busting feeling inside. Now...it feels like a light mixture of the Video Music Awards and the Teen Choice Awards, with the slime and as much craziness kept in for very good measure.

This years' host is action film superstar Mark Wahlberg. And right off the bat, Mark claimed that he would be the first KCA host to NOT get slimed. I made a bet with a friend that he would get slimed in the first half-hour. I mean come on, no one host leaves the KCAs un-slimed. I'll get to that later.

This years' show feels so different to me. It didn't get super crazy, no unique entrances, no people in costumes saying the winners names--what the hell, it wasn't as KCA-y as it was the previously decade. I don't blame me, because I'm not a kid anymore and I see a change in perspective. But I honestly enjoyed it. Every minute I enjoyed. Except the ones where Adam Sandler opened his mouth. Dude needs to know his brand of humor isn't funny anymore.

The song choices in the opening number were really interesting. Best Song Ever is an appropriate song; Applause and Wrecking Ball are definitely not. I don't know who American Authors is before the performers were announced, but they are really good and talented. They would perform again later on.

Aloe Blacc, Mr. I Need a Dollar also performed, singing his hits Wake Me Up and The Man. He sounded fantastic. I love Wake Me Up as a wonderfully soulful, R&B-infused piece of work with a hint a bluegrass, and not the electric crap Avicii produced and released last year. And The Man is also a really cool song, although I see the line "I need you to tell everybody/I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man" sounds like some dude is bragging to someone that he's better than everyone else.
No one likes an arrogant jerkhole.
Aloe (which has gotta be a stage name) is the the only person to make me let it slide.
Although I feel that they are not very well-known to the kids, I feel these two acts were great choices for this years' show. And really age-appropriate, unlike last year. I mean, come on! Pitbull? Xtina?? KE$HA?!?

Anyway, Nickelodeon gave away its' first Lifetime Achievement Award this year. And who was the person to receive this honor?
Only the person who came to Nick, took it, put it in his hand, and molded it into appointment television for all kids for the past 20 years, Dan Schneider.

And it was a wonderful tribute; casts members of his shows Sam & Cat, iCarly, VicTORious, Zoey 101, Kenan & Kel and Drake & Josh all joined together to help celebrate this man and his amazing work.
They then presented him with this nice Blimp in gold.
He is a wonderful talent and a great storyteller and he definitely deserved this honor. This was hands-down the best part of the show. Children's television has changed for the better thanks to him, and will never be the same after him. Not bad from that guy from Head of The Class, a show I still never heard of.


Austin Mahone and Cody Simpson both got slimed!! I'm sorry; I had to put this there. The fangirls probably wanted them to take their shirts off straight after. Also, a slime rodeo? Who the hell under the age of 13 wants to watch a real rodeo, let alone a slime rodeo? with Slime Tubes? Does anyone want their limbs ripped apart doing this? Seriously, I find this stupid and dangerous.

Finally, Mark got slimed. All it took was Kevin Hart (that evil bridge troll) to turn his kids against him to get their dad drenched in the green gloop. It had to happen (it always has to) or else this would've been the corniest KCA either in years or ever. Mark did fine as a host, but not great. Usually a KCA host gives his or her all to the show, acting completely like goofballs to make the show great. People like Rosie O'Donnell, Mike Myers, Whitney Houston, Jack Black and Justin Timberlake are great examples.

Oh yeah, now I know who they are. That group with the song I saw in the pormos for The Crazy Ones. They sang Best Day of My Life, pretty much the song that makes them a one-hit wonder until their next hit. I like it sounding nothing like regular pop. Just drums, guitars, and a banjo to make indie reach the top of mainstream radio. This year will go to indie and not pop. Thank you American Authors, for helping continue to break the Pop crap barrier in mainstream radio.

Usually, one of the reason I tune in is to see what the stage would look like.
I will say, it looks beautiful.

It looked like the producers took a page from the Lisa Frank catalogue.

WINNERS (as shown on the broadcast):
Favorite Funny Star: Kevin Hart (I only find him funny when he doesn't yell like a frickin' banshee)
Favorite Female Singer: Selena Gomez
Favorite Actress: Ariana Grande (a very talented girl, congrats to her)
Favorite Actor: Ross Lynch (not related to Jane Lynch, despite first thought and both being blondes.)
Favorite TV Show: Sam & Cat (like it wasn't going to win; Nick shows rarely lose)
Favorite Movie Actor: Adam Sandler (I thought Johnny Depp would win again, but meh. Kids actually find him funny.)
Favorite Action Movie Star: Robert Downey Jr.
Favorite Animated Movie: Frozen (Best choice to win all night. Really good film.)
Favorite Actress AND Buttkicker: Jennifer Lawrence (Meh.)
Favorite Male Singer: Justin Timberlake
Favorite Movie: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Figures.)
Favorite Group: One Direction (Come on. It was pretty much a lock)
Favorite Animated Animal Sidekick: Patrick Star (SpongeBob SquarePants) (Sure, because everyone likes a fat, lazy, idiotic, immature crustasean better than this...)

Favorite Cartoon: Adven--Phinea--Teenage Mutant Ninj--Gravity Fa--SpongeBob Squarepants (I'm beginning to think Nick fixed the vote. All the other noms are better than this show now. It deserved the win back from 2000-2005, but not this, last, or for the last four years.)
--More on the show's website--
Nickelodeon Lifetime Achievement Award: Dan Schneider (the man that took Nickelodeon to new heights and never fell back to Earth. This is definitely well-deserved. Congratulations, Dan.)

So, I enjoyed this years' show. It was great. Not the same feel as years' past, but I still enjoyed it. And by the way, folks. If you've said that the Kids' Choice Awards isn't what it was way back then, I don't blame you all. But come on, it's still a show for the kids. You can still watch, but it isn't made for the generation of kids that watched it first. It's for kids; I mean little tiny humans who don't know better yet, and their snot is green. Don't criticize something you've watched back then as a kid, because it makes you look like fools for watching anyway.
Thank you all for joining me for this review. I'll see you next year and probably next week for the review of the Academy of Country Music Awards.
Later!

Man with the 132-pound Scrotum Dies; So Does Mr. God Hates Fags

Hello all.

Some sad news last week. Wesley Warren, Jr. has passed away Wednesday. But to the world, he was known as the Man with The 132-Pound Scrotum. His disease and journey to remove it has received national attention with a special on TLC. He has also been mocked mercilessly for his huge nutsack, which was as huge as Mini-Me. Warren previously suffered two heart attacks prior to his death and has not had health insurance to cover his disease among other things.

I’m sure he was a nice man and didn't deserve this attention, but I think he should be happy for it. He had a disease that was grave and spread to not only his balls but the rest of his body. And since he didn’t had health insurance, his death would’ve came at any day and would’ve hit him like a moving train. At least he got the help he needs while he needed. And it didn’t ruin his life and made him a little stronger.

Also last week, someone also of controversial and sensational stardom who died is Fred Phelps, founder of the ever so controversial and ever so caring Westboro Baptist Church. Phelps died on March 19 from natural They are known as the people who hate everything that is bound to "destroy God's beautiful vision on this wonderful green Earth" or so I annoyingly say, including gays, and have also been known for having members go to funerals of celebrities and members of the military and stuff and protest their support for gays.

Look, I'm one of the many Americans who hate the WBC for their annoying stance on homosexuality and death. It's one thing to be anti-gay (which I understand and I am okay with) but to go to random people's funerals and picket for no reason is not only sad but downright stupid. Why waste your time ruining other people’s lives because they’re different? You’re not as holier-than-thou as you think. Then there's the fact Phelps' daughter said in a statement that there will be no funeral for him because they "don't worship the dead". What?! I know a decent human being doesn't do that, but to me this sounds completely hypocritical. They don't want a funeral because they're afraid that random people will show up and protest about his extreme and radical beliefs on sexuality and such, with "God Hates Fred Phelps" signs at the ready; just like the WBC protest at their funerals . I don't blame them, but I hope that this wouldn't happen. Hate shouldn't trump hate. Let's just ignore hate because they want us to feed into their craziness and let them win some battle between them and America. In their own words, they said that the media was “Gleefully anticipating” Phelps’ death, and that it’s “been an unprecedented, hypocritical, vitriolic explosion of words.“ And they also call us hypocrites for wishing and hoping for his death--just like they wish and hope for death to all gays and military servicemen. Doesn’t that sound like they’re talking like Charlie Sheen during his “WINNING” phase? Even after he's dead, they won't go away. They'll still be here. Mocking and criticizing us. (Let that sink in for a minute).

I'm not sad he died; honestly I don't care. This guy is of religion, but his religion is crazy. He’s an egotist and a big phony for taking traditional religion and repeatedly dipping it in the shitter. At least I don't have to hear his crap again (well, I rarely do, but)...at least for now, where there will be more from his family and other members ever so blinded by his unique ideology and painful beliefs. But just wait, Phelps family. If you think this would be bad? Then just wait until one of you die. The gays and soldiers and everyone else will come to picket just to protest because one of you all died. Okay, I'm kidding; let's not. Don't waste your time with this crap and move on.

Justin Bieber Acts--Is an Asshole in a Deposition

Our favorite Canadian tragedy is at it again.
In this video obtained by TMZ, Bieber is asked in a depostition by attorneys in a Florida law office about - and his relationship with Selena Gomez. And all he does is act smug, stern, and a downright ass. Every question he gets asked, he answers with smart-aleck remarks. Take a look...



Literally hours after the questions being asked, Bieber took to Twitter to defend himself:

Love how some people love to twist and justify the horrible action of others. We all have a right to defend ourselves and feel harassed

— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 10, 2014

Justin, I know rich pop star girls are hard to get and get around, just ask the guys who dated Taylor Swift. But still, if someone asks you questions, even from people of authority, you don't act like a dick, like you have somewhere to be.

Minutes later, he sends another tweet, this time to his fans for standing by him and that people of authority shouldn't ruin their mentality. (like that'll happen...)

They can't break us. They can't get us down. We are too strong. We love too much. #mybeliebers

— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 10, 2014

And if that's not enough, Bieber says he was "set up" by the attorneys to bare his feeling during the depo, because he worries of his feelings and his career enough to think that

BULL. SHIT. Justin, stop. This behavior is just embarrassing. I know I shouldn't care about you or you idiotic antics, but I have a blog and I need to continue it, so you're a idiot. This behavior of yours is-- you know what? It just came to me. Maybe this is a blessing for me. The more you make dumbass decisions in your career and your life, the more posts on you I will make on this blog.

Call me selfish, but if I stay to my original word that I don't talk about Justin Bieber, this blog would be 37% more boring (not a real fact). I need content like this to survive. And I need to air out my thoughts about this sniveling piece of crap to agree with the rest of the world and generate page-views. And in hindsight, I should thank you for it. I should thank you for breaking my (pretend) word to whine my ass off about you, why I now hate you, and how you can act like goddamn Michael Corleone to do whatever you want. So...thank you, Justin Bieber, for being a fucking asshole and having me document as much of your life as I can on this blog to make it more popular.
You're the absolute best!

1 Season Wonder - God, The Devil and Bob

Welcome to 1 Season Wonder, a segment of Maroon Mondays. Here's how it goes.
I scour across the Internet and find TV shows with only 1 season, watch them, see if I enjoyed them, talk about them here and put them in a list of 1-Season Wonders. It sounds easy as it looks, right? No, you actually have to find these shows, watch through them hoping they're not as painful as they were the first time, and debate with yourself to see if it makes the list. If that sounds challenging and you want it that way, then let's do it.

During the late 90s and early 2000s, NBC was the number 1 broadcast network in America. Almost all of its programs were huge hits in the ratings-- including ER, Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, The West Wing, Will & Grace and Law & Order. Some of their sports programming included basketball, baseball, and hockey, bringing in big ratings and big money to the network. But even the Peacock Network had low- and middle-rated shows that were either cancelled or lucky to have another season, and even then it would be cancelled. One of the former was a show so controversial because of its content and humor that many religious groups were so up in arms, that they boycotted NBC and wanted it dead. Oh, and it's a cartoon.
Here it is, God and the Devil hanging out and betting if Earth is good enough to be saved. Then they meet Bob. Blasphemy, huh? It's--well--God, the Devil and Bob.

The story is simple: God doesn't like the direction Earth is going and wants to destroy it. The Devil hears about this plan, and jumps on board. But God makes an ultimatum: Choose a random citizen to see if Earth is okay to save. If he/she fails, goodbye Earth. Devil accepts. So who's the person they choose? Bob Allman, a drinking, smoking, soft porn watching married man from Detroit. It's pretty much said much easier than done.




I don't think of the show as that blasphemous as the Christian groups perceive it to be. Besides the fact that God and Satan are major characters with their backgrounds and stories in the forefront, there is nothing else wrong with this show. It's not meant for families, it's for adults, as if the intro alone wouldn't tell you enough.

The show features the voices of James Garner as God, Alan Cumming as the Devil,
It's edgy, but not really edgy. The Bible and demon jokes are there but it's not as provacative as Family Guy, American Dad, South Park or even 90s era The Simpsons. And speaking of Family Guy, I want to make a counterargument that Family Guy does even worse with its jokes on religion. But it premiered a year later, got cancelled itself twice (but only because of ratings) and no matter how hard they try, the groups just can't get it killed, because it's still on the air.

I think it's sad that it didn't at least another season, but for story reasons, it makes sense. Continuing the show with the storyline that God and the Devil deliberating whether Bob can save Earth would've dragged and gotten old. So thank (you know) we haven't reached that.

What I love about the show is how ambitious it with its premise. It really is groundbreaking in the 90s for a show like this to even exist. If it was made in the last decade, let alone today, it would probably be another Animation Domination or Adult Swim show. No one would bat an eye. Some of the characters are hilarious, especially the Devil. And I will watch and re-watch over and over if I had to.

You can find the series on YouTube and DVD.

Well, thank you for joining me here on 1 Season Wonder. See you next time when I might find another show to review. That is if the pageviews sustain.


Later! Until next time, but until then, keep your television shows close and the pieces of crap closer.

Man Sues McDonald's...Because He Was Given ONE NAPKIN

I'll get this out of the way quickly.

Toss this under "Stupid Lawsuits That Should've Never Even Been Thought Of". A man is suing a California McDonald's for--get this--giving him one napkin. (Shut the front door!) Webster Lucas says he ordered a Quarter Pounder Deluxe at the Pacoima, Calif., eatery on Jan. 29.

But on opening up his paper bag, he found just one paper tissue. He alleges that when he returned to the counter to ask for more, managers refused. Lucas alleges the debate turned racial when the Mexican-American boss mumbled something like "you people" and some stuff-— which Lucas took to be a reference to him being black. He did make a point about the manager not giving him more napkins; he was very assholish and a jerk. But really...

Dude, be glad you even got a napkin in the first place. Some people walked out of McDonald's without any napkins at all, and they don't complain. Maybe because they thought that if they sued, it'll make them look like idiots. Just like you are. A damn idiot. And if you really wanted a napkin so badly, go home and get some tissue, go buy some from the store, or even go to Burger King! At least they let you get some yourself.
The man also claims that the incident caused him "undue mental anguish."

"Undue mental anguish."
You loopy man-cunt!!! You go mental after bitching out against the manager for having one napkin?!? I've gotten beat up and humiliated for nearly all of my childhood, and I've never whined, cried or moaned about anything. You were given one napkin, and now you feel mentally destroyed and need to sue?! You need a kick to the head, that's what you need.

And about the "You people" comment, it probably wasn't because you were black, it was because you're a dumbass.

MaroonMondays Awards Reviews: The Oscars 2014

Hi everyone and welcome to MaroonMondays Awards Reviews, where I, Andrew, bring you my thoughts on the big awards ceremonies...and and tries to be funny with it.

Ahhhhhhh...The Oscars, the film industry's biggest night. The day everyone comes in their Sunday Best, and drink like they're in their Friday worst. The Day where the best films are celebrated, yet they're only dramas. And theyday where I have to make a review for a televised ceremony on Sunday, But I have to do most of it on Monday. CRAP. But it was worth it.

So here we go anyway.

I didn't watch as much this year as I got really bored really fast, and the stupid montages tuned me out, so here's a review of what I saw.

The show usually begin with the usual pre-taped open which superimposes that year's hos into scenes of that year's nominated films. And it tries to be funny. This year...none. Thank God.

Ellen's monolouge had some hilarious moments including telling everyone Jennifer Lawrence fell on the red carpet (after saying she wouldn't; although she already blurted it out) and they give the Oscar to her. That gave the second biggest laugh from me that night.

After the first few awards have been given out, just as the show began, Ellen did something no Oscars host ever did before...she gave the stars pizza. Yup, she ordered pizza from a mom and pop shop, Big Mamas and Papas Pizza, just almost a mile away from the Dolby Theatre. As soon as the pizza came to them, they went at it. I thought it did feel it was forced and planned a little, but it was really funny nonetheless.

Pharrell performed one of the nominated songs "Happy" from Despicable Me 2, and already set the stage ablaze. He got Lupita Nyong'o go shake, Meryl Streep to shimmy, and Amy Adams to shake her groove thang all during the second verse. He also actually made most in the audience to get up and dance with him. It was a fantastic performance.

P!nk also had a gracious performance She gave a perfect rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz. I nearly cried. Bette Midler also performed a song from Beaches, during the In Memorium segment. While I liked it, everyone else hated it because it wasn't a song good enough to perform during the segment, which usually calls for really sad or moody songs. It's understandable, I thought she did really well.

This.

As the show continued, Degeneres asked some celebs to join her in a selfie. She got as many people in the show and got Bradley Cooper to hold the phone. Joining her were Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, Lupita Nyong'o, her brother Peter, Angelina Jolie, Jared Leto, Kevin Spacey, Julia Roberts and Cooper, who has very long arms.
This picture blew up Twitter as soon as it hit the web. Immediately, retweets came left and right. And before the show even continued, it beat the record set by a pic of President Obama hugging his daughter Malia three years ago. And because of this, Twitter broke for a few minutes. I didn't really notice because I was doing less exciting things like--well, i did things. Is there anything Ellen did not do that night that didn't go viral?

John Travolta became a trending topic within seconds, not for showing up or saying something funny (which is rare in itself), but for mispronouncing the name of one of the performers. Seriously, everyone on my timeline called him out on it and made joke about it, praising "Abu Nazir" or "Idella Dazeem" or "Adel Dalzeihm" for her performance of "Let it Go" from Frozen. Speaking of, that was wonderful, performance and song. This Adimna Manzal person is really talented and should go in pictures. She'll be fantastic.

Basically, almost everything on this show went viral in minutes. So while last years' show was the classiest I've ever seen, this year's show was the humblest and funniest. I really enjoyed it. Well, except the joke DeGeneres made about Liza Minelli. That wasn't nice.
I wouldn't be surprised if Liza gets back at her someday.

Okay, speeches I loved:
Well, I loved Lupita Nyong'o's speech mentioning her brother, her family and how her Oscar reminds her of little children who's dreams can come true. That was a very sweet moment for her and the show.
Cate Blanchett's speech, which films with female leads can earn actresses a lot of money.
Jared Leto's passionate speech about a single mother/high school dropout who worked hard to give her kids a great future...who is his mother, June; that was very heartwarming and fantastic.
