2003-01-11 | TV PARTY

I'm not a huge fan of Korn, but I don't NOT like them. I like a lot of their songs from Follow the Leader, and I used to like them a lot when their first album was out, but I was a lot younger then.

I guess their last couple albums haven't done it for me, but I still think they're ok.

I really liked the song and the video for that song "Alone I Break", though.

Great concept.

If you haven't seen it, the video shows the band getting frustrated with each other during rehearsal, and then shows Jonathan Davis progressively killing off his band, one by one, for the rest of the clip.

I like the video even more now, because I found out that it was done by an amateur.

Some guy won an MTV contest and his prize was to direct their video.

The guy was an even more massive tool then Carson Daly, but the video was great.

He was dressed like Ryan, a.k.a. emo from head to toe.

And he was walking around with a Starbucks cup half the time.

I don't know about you, but I can't take anybody seriously anymore, if they're walking around with a Starbucks cup.

Especially people trying to be authority figures.

If I see one of my bosses with a cup from Starbizzucks, I lose all respect for them.

Usually I lose it before that, but if I still have respect for them, the Starbucks cup pours hot liquid on it, and watches it go up in smoke.

I was watching the classic game show "To Tell the Truth" the other night. (the original version from the 50's-60's)

I always think this is funny.... I don't know why.

Must be the Beavis and Butthead on me.

Back in those days, every tv show had sponsors names all over it. There was even a show called the Texaco comedy hour or something like that.

To Tell the Truth's sponsor was Helene Curtis.

On game shows back then, the hosts and panel would have name plates in front of them, because they didn't have fancy graphics like they do now days.

So sometimes if you turn it to the Game Show Network in the middle of To Tell the Truth, you see a huge HELENE CURTIS sign below the host of the show.

It's funny for a second, because it looks like his name plate.

"His name is Helene......what a dumbass"

I had an embarrasing dilemma the other night.

I was sitting there thinking "there's too many good tv shows on right now!... Which one do I pick?"

Here were the "good" shows I was talking about:

Nicholas Cage Biography

Emeril Live

Pardon the Interruption

Seinfeld

Celebrity Mole in Hawaii

Donahue

Saturday Night Live w/ Steve Martin

Granted, some of those shows are acceptable, but some are downright sickening.

Yet I still watch them.
