In the light of the $78-million price tag attached to the royal wedding, mainly attributed to British taxpayers, and due to its potential cost of $47 billion to Britain’s economy, I must state the obvious: It’s entirely unfair that celebrities have to pay for their own weddings, and dare I say, their own homes too.
Now, before you get your knickers in a bunch, allow me to explain…
As with many markets around the world, the British have been subjects of an historically feeble economy. High unemployment, a weak consumer, and rising inflation, all crave one thing: a strong investment.
The other night, much of the world was oblivious to the horrible suffering endured by 1 billion people, and I'm not talking about the poor and disenfranchised.
I’m talking about the estimated worldwide audience that watched the Oscars telecast …
In hopes of conquering such strife, back in February, I called for a metaphoric colon cleanse of society - “
Fodder-Free February.” The mission was a month-long moratorium on famous people who are well suited for passing through our bowels.
It would be a month free of banal celebrity gossip. (Luckily, I chose the shortest month of the year.)
There has been a lot of backlash over an
article by
Marie Claire writer Maura Kelly. Her story focuses on
Mike & Molly, a sit-com about two overweight people, and her disgust in watching fat people … do pretty much anything.
First, I want to congratulate
Marie Claire on a successful PR strategy. Publish an unfavourable, media-grabbing, society-polarizing, controversial piece, then counter with a series of stories opposing it, siding with the public-at-large.
Well played, Ms. Claire. Well played.
Second, I want to take this opportunity to voice my disgust in watching skinny people, do pretty much everything on TV.
The Little Couple: Bill & Jen
If you haven’t already watched
The Little Couple on TLC, allow me to explain the brilliant concept behind this show: It focuses on the everyday life of a dwarf couple.
If you haven’t already watched shows on TLC, allow me to explain the brilliant concept behind the network: it focuses on super tall, super skinny or super obese people, and, of course, lest we forget, super fertile, and super
medically-induced fertile people. But mostly it’s either about people who make cakes, cupcakes or confection - little people who make cakes, cupcakes or confection - or little people in general.
I say, enough with the over-tall and extra-small. It is time for average. Allow me to present my official pitch to TLC,
The Medium Couple: starring,
Dahlia Kurtz and
Launy Schwartz.
Sometimes I can’t think of anything to write.
This is one of those times.
So I’m going to write about nothing: Kate Gosselin.
Go ahead, pretend as if you don’t know who she is, and I will pretend as if I never wrote this.
While we’re at it, let’s just say I’ve grown four inches and I’m the dreamy, modelesque height of five foot four.
Oooh, I like this game.
