Last nite I watched 1st five mins. of O'Liely, and my mind was blown.
On his "memo" segment, he came up with this whole rationale about how the case of this missing girl (Her name is Natalie or something) should be front and center in all our consciousness because it is a huge tragedy BECAUSE SHE WAS SO NICE AND GOT GOOD GRADES etc. So let me get this straight. If she had been a C student, or a dropout, it would be less of a tragedy and we shouldn't give a damn?

And then he prattled on about how it's a cautionary tale because there are these killers all around us and kids need to be on the lookout (even though crime rates are at historic lows), and he tried to tie it to some kind of collegiate shenanigans that happened in Arkansas with mud wrestling and boxing, and he actually said with great portent "the stakes are much higher today, as you will see from the shocking video from Arkansas. This sort of thing just didn't happen 20 years ago."

What is wrong with this idiot? Anyone ever heard of Charles Manson, the Hillside strangler? Has this idiot never seen "Animal House"? He thinks insane partying by college kids is a new thing?

Please, someone take O'Liely out behind the woodshed and BEAT SOME SENSE INTO HIM!


And no, I don't care about the pretty white girl missing in Aruba! Tell me about some poor, ugly minority kids with bad grades, and get a nationwide manhunt out for them for a change. SHIT!

3. My kids are going to wear explosives-lined jackets
with a self-destruct button - and a failsafe self-destruct if a different button isn't pushed once an hour.

That'll show em! :eyes:

17. Better Make It Nuclear
Can't take any chances DS! If the thing has to self-destruct, might as well take out several city blocks. That's the way to keep your kids safe!

6. "Missing White Girl du Jour"

Heard that on one of the Air America programs in the last day, and chuckled. (No, not at the poor girl currently missing, but at the concise summation of our affliction.)

14. I never heard anything about those 2 precious little girls...
Why the hell wasn't that in the national news? this is the first I've heard of it.

Those two girls are adorable - how heartbreaking for their mother -

FUCK THIS COUNTRY

9. You mean that you don't enjoy
what Talking Points has to say? I can't go a day without the opinion of Talking Points. I wish Talking Points would show up on other shows. Talking Points does have some interesting things to say.

I just wish I knew where Talking Points lived. How much does Talking Points travel? Where would Talking Points go? What does Talking Points eat? What does Talking Points enjoy doing? Any hobbies for Talking Points? The favorite color of Talking Points? Who is Talking Points?

10. hot white chick is news, like Jessica Lynch vs. Shoshana Johnson
Johnson was black, overweight, shot in the ankles, and was shown as a captive on TV.

Unlike Lynch though who got the special forces TV rescue, I think Johnson had to hitchhike out of Iraq.

11. O'Liely goes home and ...
Edited on Fri Jun-10-05 01:12 PM by TahitiNut
... smears his body with falafels while watching "Girls Gone Wild."

They're all good students and church-goers, didn't cha know?



On a more serious note, for those whose sarcasm senses are atrophied, the very popularity of such videos makes it a certainty that such teenage excursions (and alleged escapades) will attract all manner of perverts. Who the fuck could possibly be surprised??

12. It was 20 years ago today
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We hope you will enjoy the show,
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and let the evening go.
Sgt. Pepper's lonely, Sgt. Pepper's lonely,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

It's wonderful to be here,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.

I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer's going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears

And that whiny know-nothing falafel abusing Bill O'... Nowhere to be heard/seen.

13. You know, he first thing he'd do if he found that missing woman
in Aruba- first he'd get her into the shower as quickly as possible. That's the first thing. Then he'd take one of those falafel things and...
