Seriously?? Seriously???
Yes, it's another blog about another crazy ass show on TLC. I think there should be a category at the Golden Globes for the show which best exploits children. Because if that was the case then TLC would have a number of entries. They would get 19 kids and counting with the Duggers whose mom's uterus is like a clown car because the babies just keep coming...and coming...and coming! And then there is always Kate and her brood who are on their second show because she hadn't screwed those kids up enough the first go around, so she needs to put them out there again so that when they are all in therapy when they are 20 they will get their moneys worth. Plus, she has to get as many free trips as possible out of this cash cow as well as enough money to continue to get her scanky ass extensions and pay for the McMansion that they live in....all the while the kids are such brats that they get kicked out of school (oops - did I say that out loud?).
And then there is the ultimate in child exploitation....TODDLERS AND TIARAS!!!
Yep, these moms (and in some cases gay dads that aren't out of the closet yet) live out their lifelong dreams through their children by entering them into every cheap ass beauty pageant in the southern hemisphere. All of that of course would not be that big of a deal if they just put these girls in their Easter dresses and let them prance themselves around the stage. But NO - they have to do things like spray tanning....fake teeth....wigs....fake nails...and yes, eyebrow waxing. I'm not sure that I totally understand taking a kid whose body is still forming and saying that they have a unibrow, or their skin is too pale, or God forbid, they lose their BABY teeth - because then we have to get them some false teeth so that the judges will not realize that they are only 7 and are going through the natural changes that a child goes through. So let's make them look like some midget size drag queen jacked up on pixie sticks and dancing around while their parents look like idiots in the crowd making goofy ass noises and hooting and hollering like it's a football game.
The below link is a clip of one of the latest mom's that I am going to for sure nominate for the Mother of the Year award. You will see that she takes her daughter for an eyebrow waxing after the child has had a horrible experience previously. Of course the mother downplays the situation where the salon employee ripped off part of the kids skin.....so she can't understand why her daughter would be fearful to have it done again. So even though she attempts to bribe the child with a bag full of candy (which the child's jaw drops to the floor when she sees it) the child is still hysterical when she realizes that Mommy Dearest is once again putting her through this horrible experience just so she can go into a pageant and possibly walk away with a $5.00 crown and a sash made out of recycled taffeta.

My Strange Addiction.....or just crazy????
Seriously?? Seriously??
The latest in the reality junk t.v. on TLC is a show called My Strange Addition. I'm not sure if it should be called that or "I'm just crazy and desperate enough for money that I will show the world what a nut I am". But then again, that title is a little too long for those modern, colorful TLC ads.
As much as I want to turn the channel when this show comes on, it is similar to a train wreck or car accident and I'm not able to turn away. Sad I know, but of course if I didn't watch it I wouldn't have something to rant about on here!
So let me recap a few of the episodes I have seen so far. We have the "semi-normal" ones with the young girls that are addicted to tanning....that are leathery brown and will regret these decisions when they are 50 and look like one huge age spot, but continue to tan up to three times a day. So although those are a little stranger than most of us, they don't even come close to some of the others.
Like the lady that is addicted to eating COMET!! Yes, the household cleanser that you use to scrub out the coffee stains in your sink or the mold from the corners of your shower. She sprinkles it into the palm of her hand a minimum of 10 times a day and uses her fingers like a kids Lickum stick in Fun Dip to dab up the Comet and lick it off her fingers. Now this woman has been doing this for something like 13 years, which has caused the enamel on her teeth to be eaten away and Lord knows what else has happened to her internal organs. Very close to her addiction is the young girl who is addicted to laundry soap (yes, she sees Cheer in a whole different way than the rest of us) and she also likes to eat bar soap. She will either soap up her hands while she is washing them and then LICK the suds off of them, or she will cut up bars of soap to eat them like Godiva chocolates. Now what I don't understand about either of these two females is what in the world makes them try this. I mean I can't think of one time in my life, even when I have been at my drunkest that I thought it would be a good idea to eat any kind of household, clothing, or body cleanser. So is that an addition, or are you just flat out crazy?
Then there is the lady that I can GUARANTEE you is crazy and not "addicted"....her storyline is that she is addicted to puppets. So you would think "Oh, she likes to collect puppets, or play with puppets"....Nope, this crazy bitch has a collection of puppets and one in particular that she drags EVERYWHERE with her. So she doesn't every truly talk to a person, she has her puppets do the talking. Again - this isn't an addiction...it's a crazy person that has convinced the writers of TLC to put her craziness in a weekly show and pay her to show the world what a person who needs to be on meds looks like. Much like Kate did with her and her 100 children?? Hmmmm.....maybe TLC should invite Kate to be on this show.... or maybe the Queen of crazy, Sarah Palin could just nix her boring ass show about Alaska and be the weekly star of this quality garbage show!
So I could go on and on about all the different episodes and the varying crazy people that are on there, but if you need a good laugh, or just want to be reassured that you are far more normal than your momma ever led you to believe...then tune into TLC on a Wed. night and watch the loons in front of the camera.

Seriously?? Seriously??
There is something that has been bothering me for some time and I really need to get it out there. I really wish that whoever invented the blue tooth headsets could be bitch slapped into next week.......
My reason for this? Well in the old days, you could tell who the crazy people in this world were because they were the ones walking the streets talking to themselves. But now, because these damn blue tooth headsets are so small and just sit inside your ear, you can't tell who is talking on the phone...and who is talking to their imaginary friends!
I mean I have had to resort to using my quick physical assessment of people in order to try to determine if they are crazy and even then sometimes that doesn't work because now a days people are doing things like wearing pajamas out in public, and house shoes as a normal fashion statement so that just causes even MORE confusion on your decision on if someone is crazy or just has really bad/lazy fashion sense along with an expensive blue tooth that they are talking into. A perfect example of this is the latest fashion nightmare...pajama jeans - which are pajama pants made to look like jeans so when you go out in your jammies you just might fool some half blind people into thinking you are wearing something other than some cheap ass pajamas like the homeless folks down at the local shelter. (really - who the Hell comes up with this shit).....but that's a topic for another day and another blog....now back to the issue at hand...
I truly believe there are two types of people that use blue tooth's....there are the ones that truly are THAT busy (or think they are) that they have to be connected at all times to make all their big time business deals.....and then there are the people that just want to be able to talk NONSTOP without having anything in their way, like driving, shopping, having their hair done, and all kinds of other things people are crazy enough to keep doing while they are flapping their gums.
Now the second type are the ones that you can sometimes confusion with a crazy homeless person - because they are the ones that are usually taking the opportunity while standing in line at the checkout counter to discuss with their "girls" things like their latest love interests penis size....how their cousins latest girlfriend has vaginal warts.....or my favorite which is them recreating their fight with their no-good, down right lazy, no child support paying baby daddy was seen at the local club dirty dancing with that skinny ass, crackhead girl from across town! They are the ones that usually talk about 100 decibels higher than the rest of the universe and seem to think that the entire world can't hear them carrying on their conversations. They are the ones that if you even attempt to give them a "why the hell can't you tone it down" look they will CUT YOU!
So please world, if we are going to keep blue tooth technology, can we at least issue everyone with a blue tooth a shirt that is mandatory for them to wear that says "I'm not crazy, I'm just on the phone"......
