I have been a watcher of the Today Show for years, but I'm about to throw in the towel. I can't throw a brickbat through the tv set, after all. Not only are my eardrums assaulted by horrendous noises (rap music), but my eyeballs and my sense of propriety are offended. Flo Rida this morning, in an effort to win over all the moms of little girls everywhere, bellowed and stomped around on stage while pinching his penis the whole time. What IS it with these guys? Are they so afraid it's going to fall off that they have to hold on to it?
That was followed by a segment on high heels. I detest the entire idea of women wearing heels. And where do they find these podiatrists who ENDORSE them?!!! This little tart of a woman, the podiatrist, was even endorsing foot surgery so women could wear heels more easily! And lately the show seems to be trying out some new people/hosts. This one little twit was pooh-poohing sensible shoes and saying she never wears anything shorter than a four-inch heel. I've seen third-graders do better on camera than this woman. Where did they find her? Hooters?
I'm not normally so grouchy, but the Today Show really is falling down around its own ears. How many more recipes (using ingredients found only in foreign countries we've never heard of) can we endure? How many more "concerts" featuring the insipid girl band or offensive boy band of the moment can we stand? How many more interviews with self-important actors, directors, politicians? Quentin Tarantino was on this morning touting his new film with the most disgusting title to come along in a while. He's nowhere near half as funny as he thinks he is. And he's isn't even one-tenth as witty as he thinks he is.
Okay, now I've bitched and moaned enough for one morning.
