GoDaddy.com and Other Thoughts

So I spent the day with Ms Joanna Younger aka the baddest MOFO on either side of the equator. Case and point: she is the only one who reads my blog regularly. This one is going out to her.

The day has been filled with pedicures, Indian food and the most amazing television ever. Such MTV programming gems include: "Teen Moms" and "Real World DC". Let us discuss Teen Moms. Just FYI Joao just fell asleep while I am typing this sentence with the mac propped on his legs, but I know if he were awake he would be intently discussing these shows with me whilst I type. My theory on Joao's fascination with crappy reality programming is that he never had it in Portugal and thus, the fascination. But his viewership is not like mine; Joao watches it all with a type of detached ponderousness (is that a word?). It is as if he is thinking, "Do I believe these shows are a real representation of America?" I try to explain to Joao that these shows MUST be scripted but he remains diplomatic in his observations. What Joao has made me realize is the following: Whether or not these shows are scripted is just not important. What is important is that they provide TV-watchers with the opportunity to reflect on our own lives and the type of people we are and would like to be. Don't laugh, I am serious! Why am I so deeply touched by the stories on Teen Moms? I think it is because I honestly, truly, do not think I could survive what these individuals have gone through. Watching reality television helps me put my life in check: because if these people can make it work, we all can.

Okay, Teen Moms:
Straight up, the most disturbing, saddening program I have ever witnessed. What really drove me over the edge was the couple that was fighting because the morbidly obese boyfriend purchased a Nintendo or some such gaming device for $500 and his pregnant gf got angry with him for wasting money. He said he worked hard and should be able to buy whatever he wanted and she continued to state that he wasn't properly preparing for the impending birth of their child. So the young man returns the Nintendo at WalMart and proceeds to the WalMart jewelry counter, where he purchases a $20 ring which he is going to use to propose to his girlfriend. The WalMart sales associate referred to the ring as "bling". As we have progressed in the season, the couple's relationship has deteriorated since the birth of the child. The mother is frustrated because she is trying to get her GED and feels as if she never gets to leave the house and he is frustrated because he has to work and she doesn't clean the house.
In conclusion, this show will most likely make you consider the option of having your tubes tied, and it will most certainly make you think before you complain about how frustrating your life is.

On to Real World:
I havn't watched Real World since Seattle. Seattle was the bomb; does anyone remember Irene who had the tick disease or Lymes or whatever and when Stephen slapped her? Anyway, because we were watching Teen Mom we decided to watch RW as well. All I can tell you is that it has nothing on Jersey Shore, which is quite possibly the greatest creation ever. I refer to Jersey Shore as a "creation" because it is clearly the result of a benevolent genius. Do you think Snooki just inherently knew how to bring home a hot "guido" who would projectile vomit all over? Did J-Woww just happen to pick out outfits that only a cracked out prostitute could love? Clearly someone explained to these individuals that they would be well-compensated for being walking, talking hot messes.
In closing, I would like to refer to a quote from Mike, "The Situation", who has taken the country, and no doubt soon the world, by storm. "If you don't love The Situation, I am gonna make you love The Situation." I mean that is really all there is to say. I literally laugh out loud when I think about this show.

P.S.- What the hell is GoDaddy.com? Doesn't anyone else find the commercials strange? Is Danica Patrick or whatever her name is hitting on the other girl in the commercial? And if so, how is this relevant to GoDaddy? What, exactly, is GoDaddy? Do you buy website names from them? If so, why are there lesbians in the commercial? I don't know guys, I feel like I'm out on a limb here.

And also: has anyone seen the new Dominos commercials? I don't exactly know if it is Dominos or Pappa Johns or Donatos but when I lived in Ohio I think my pizza palette was much more refined and I would have been able to differentiate between the brands but I digress. Anyway, they claim they have "re-done" their pizza based on consumer opinions and have added a better sauce with more herbs and better cheese, etc etc. You can now purchase two pizzas for $5.99 each. If I didn't have IBS I would totally be all over this. So, friends, if you have a stomach that can tolerate such risky dining ventures, go grab two pizzas from Dominos (I think?) and report back on what you think, because I truly wonder if their pizza is any different or if it is just a marketing ploy. Smart, those pizza people...

That's all for now.
