Folks,

Is anyone else sick to death of these VH1 "I love the [insert decade here]" shows? Let me rephrase that, is anyone who is as big a loser and watches as much tv as I do sick of these shows? God damn.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the format of these programs, VH1 gathers up a bunch of never-was pseudo celebrities to make really condescending remarks about people who used to be famous but are now apparently worthy of contempt.

The problem with all of this for me is that for someone to be laughable now, they have to be memorable and therefore had to be appealing to millions of people in their heyday. And no offense Michael Ian Black, but ain't nobody remembering you in twenty years, so maybe you should go a little easy on Warrant.

I think my even deeper problem with it is that about three years ago I was incredibly relieved to think that the age of irony was over. It felt like it was ok to care about things again and not be so afraid of life that you needed to make a joke of everything.

Who knows?

Anyway, screw these shows, but bring on the Surreal Life and the Flavor Flav Show!
