Grammys anyone?

Well, no one really seems to be talking about the grammys this year. I hardly ever watch them but I watched more of them this year than ever before....I wanted to really see Madonna and it was boring. She looks pretty darn good but it wasn't too exciting.
I like the new album a lot though!

I am sick of seeing the same old people. It is just the way I feel about seeing Jack "flabby ass" Nicholson at the Oscars. How they kiss his flabby one huh?

So call me insane but don’t we have a country music awards show?
I prefer that they keep to their own……….

I have to give credit to U2. They will never need to stop. I once heard Bono say when he wasn’t talking about Aids in Africa, that they considered splitting up or quitting when they couldn’t write another good album……well they aren’t having any trouble.

Larry mullen needs a serious haircut or oil change. Maybe he can donate some hair for a hair transplant for the Edge. Also, at this age, doesn’t the edge feel silly being called the Edge?
See that is what happens when you get into a band when you are young……….sticks with you. Although Mellencamp was successful changing his name overnight and Prince too.

I still call Mellencamp—Cougar and I still called Prince, Prince…..in other words, I will still call the Edge, the Edge when he comes out next year asking to be called Karl or whatever his name is.

I caught only a second of the tribute to Sly and the Family Stone. Again, I have to go with my friend Scotty on this one…what the heck was joss Stone doing there? She is 17. Do you think she knows who Sly is? She probably thought they meant Sly Stallone only he didn’t have an album his brother Frank did.

I looked to see if she was barefoot and I couldn’t tell.

I came to a few conclusions or epiphanies if you will:

Outkast needs a new album.

What is Santana still doing hanging around?

If they are going to bring back has beens, how about Robert Plant or someone cooler.

Ozzy and his big mouth wife fell off the earth huh? Same with next big star daughter Kelly.

Who is Maroon 5?

I thought Gwen looked nice. I loved her dress. She needs a new hairdo though......

Funny how people can be so “in” one minute then gone the next.

I heard that Christina was going to be there…didn’t see her on the “green” carpet on the E pre show. What about Britney? Jessica Simpson? Avril whatever? Where are they??

Another side note: I do not need to see old “desperate Housewives” skanks there either.
Are they that "desperate" to fill seats? I hate that show and every single person on it. I must admit. Don’t even get me started on that show!

We need more Disclaimers.....in our lives!

Not long ago I blogged about commercials that annoy me. Now, I am guilty of paying too much attention to commercials. Whatever happened to going to get a snack, going to the bathroom during commercials??

Now, I watch them with this critical eye as if I work for the top ad agency.

The other night I saw a few ridiculous commercials. They weren’t ridiculous for content necessarily but for disclaimer reasons.

One commercial I saw this weekend, showed a kid, duct taped to a large firecracker, like a rocket if you will. At the bottom of the screen it said “Do not Attempt”. I became immediately red with rage. Again, everyone has to CYA. If kids aren’t throwing large items off bypasses a la Beavis and Butthead, they are engaging in “Backyard Wrestling” or regular wrestling techniques that end in the death of millions of school chums. Actually that one boy from Florida did kill a friend doing some move he saw on TV.

Anyway, after my rage subsided I was glad that this company (can’t even tell you what product they were peddling…so it is a lousy commercial) added the disclaimer on the TV. I don’t want my young cousins or friend’s kids strapping the neighborhood kids to explosive devices which they bought at Walmart. Disclaimers are one thing when you watch a car commercial or someone doing some extreme sport activity. Kids are morons and people are morons so it is best to be safe from the company point of view.

The print is so small I can’t read half of the disclaimers. Is there one for using a walkman or Ipod and dancing across a street? There should be. Or what about using your cell phone to download ITunes or watching the episode of Lost that you missed while eating a Gordita and crossing the street? What about eating at Taco-Bell? That can cause high cholesterol not to mention a gob of GI problems. What about a disclaimer about cell phones? Someone might hit you if you annoy the heck out of them with your lame ass conversation? I want more disclaimers. Medicines on TV have tons of disclaimers only they are narrated not written...."taking this medication if you have bladder control issues will cause eyes to bleed"......So, I want someone to tell me what I shouldn't do. The written disclaimer is too small and could go missed!

The other commercial that really made me crazy this weekend was the one that Burger King recently put out. Has anyone seen this one? Dr. Cheesy?
I don’t even want to explain it but the commercial involves a cheesy guy, dressed like a womanizer from 1968, depicting a doctor but not seeing patients and not prescribing medication………he just calls himself Dr. Cheesy. Like how my friend Bunny used to call himself…Dr. Suave.

Well thank heavens for more disclaimers because Burger King had to tell us that Dr. Cheesy isn’t a real doctor. I already knew it………I mean what doctor do you know prescribes eating at Burger King……..(actually he didn’t prescribe anything)
