Very late…

1. It’s all but impossible to beat the pig wanking (I’ve thought for a long time about how to phrase that differently but in the end just can’t be arsed) so as a different kind of thing I will suggest the Frank Skinner show interview with Matthew Kelly, on which Kelly pulled Skinner up on the jokes he and David Baddiel had made about him when he was questioned on some sort of child abuse charges (photographs, I think – he was exonerated completely, whatever it was) – Matthew Kelly came across as incredibly dignified and seriously threatening, in a calm and quiet way, and Frank Skinner looked like a complete undignified turd. It was a very brief moment of ‘actually real’ television, the kind of thing which is very rare indeed.

2. Nobody could do better than some of Alan Partridge’s wilder moments. I’m still looking forward to Monkey Tennis. Actually there were also some Roger Mellie ones that were rather good too, notably ‘Celebrity Genital Mutilation’ and ‘Bargain Cunt’.

3. I don’t know where to start. Well, Simon le Bon, obviously.

4. See 3, but without the ‘Simon le Bon’ bit.

5. I’d like to thank Laura for that ’sorry love’ about Germaine Greer – I’ll say her too.

It didn’t look like he was gloating exactly, more just a very sharp put down when she tried to be a smart-arse. It is a little mean to laugh because what he said was so very true, but it didn’t look like he went looking for it. I don’t know his show though, so he could of course be a dick all the time – I have no idea.

I don’t disagree Matthew but you have to factor in the %10 increase in cool added to anything by the inclusion of William Shatner.

The Kimmel thing made me laugh right up until it made me cry. There is something sick about the exploitation of people who a are chronic attention addicts and gloating over their downfall.

Sarah Palin is actually her own parody, surely. Who needs to send her up, the silly old mare is already a cartoon.

Jimmy Kimmel vs Sabrina the Teenage Hooker was the fucking bollocks.

1. Janice Dickenson and her backed up colon.

2. I’m A Celebrity, Use Me For Target Practice.

3. Brody Jenner. He’s a third-tier character on roughly 15 different reality shows. Brody, Natural Selection has chosen you to die.

4. That Girls Gone Wild guy. Despicable sleeze that he is, he will at every opportunity try to convince you that taking pictures of drunk, underage women is somehow really feminist and will benefit society in some indecipherable way. He’s certainly convinced himself, at any rate.

5. Lou Diamond Phillips. You played fucking Ritchie Valens man! Stand and Deliver! What happened?

Jimmy Kimmel was good but, watching Shatner read Sarah Palin may have been the closest thing I’ve ever heard to pure comedy gold. Only William Shatner could capture the perfect comic absurdity of Sarah Palin.

The Jimmy Kimmel video was funny.
The only reality show thing I’ve ever seen was something called Spy School I think which trained people to be spies. It was quite good actually.

I didn’t identify with him in any sort of compassionate way.

He just did what I would have done in his position; volunteer for the show, then do my best to subvert and disrupt it.

Ah right – I think I have to change the site’s time settings manually, that’s why. Whoops.

Also, where the fuck is everyone today?
