Broadcast Bitchiness - CBS v. ABC

This is pretty amazing. Now, I am the first to admit that Colbert and The Onion have become my primary means of news intake - not sad, but very true.  It looks like CBS is following suit, because after a legal battle over some shitty reality show (The Glass House) that is a ripoff of some other shitty reality show (Big Brother), they have decided to draw a very mockingly hilarious line in the sand:

CBS ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT OF “DANCING ON THE STARS,” AN EXCITING AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL REALITY PROGRAM THAT OWES ITS CONCEPT AND EXECUTION TO NOBODY AT ALL
Los Angeles, June 21, 2012 – Subsequent to recent developments in the creative and legal community, CBS Television today felt it was appropriate to reveal the upcoming launch of an exciting, ground-breaking and completely original new reality program for the CBS Television Network.
The dazzling new show, DANCING ON THE STARS, will be broadcast live from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and will feature moderately famous and sort of well-known people you almost recognize competing for big prizes by dancing on the graves of some of Hollywood’s most iconic and well-beloved stars of stage and screen.
The cemetery, the first in Hollywood, was founded in 1899 and now houses the remains of Andrew “Fatty” Arbuckle, producer Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Paul Muni, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, George Harrison of the Beatles and Dee Dee Ramone of the Ramones, among many other great stars of stage, screen and the music business. The company noted that permission to broadcast from the location is pending, and that if efforts in that regard are unsuccessful, approaches will be made to Westwood Village Memorial Park, where equally scintillating luminaries are interred.
“This very creative enterprise will bring a new sense of energy and fun that’s totally unlike anything anywhere else, honest,” said a CBS spokesperson, who also revealed that the Company has been working with a secret team for several months on the creation of the series, which was completely developed by the people at CBS independent of any other programming on the air. “Given the current creative and legal environment in the reality programming business, we’re sure nobody will have any problem with this title or our upcoming half-hour comedy for primetime, POSTMODERN FAMILY.”
“After all,” the spokesperson added, “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”

Yes CBS, we are laughing. At you? with you?...what does it matter?

The Martians are here...

...and they have come to save Detroit. Also, I learned they don't take no orders from no woman. And they want to give the Polish their fair due.

But seriously, I love how fame whores try so hard to get on TV, and it only takes this nutbag 10 minutes of crazy to make the national rounds. Or, as the top youtube comment says...

"Why the fuck is this news? Oh, dude dropped some logs, HURRY GET THE FUCKING CAMERA, THIS IS BREAKING. Fuck you humanity."

The unthinkable catcopter...

...it truly is unthinkable. Until you think about it, at which point you can't unthink it at all. Terrifying. NSFB - not safe for brain. It's sort of like when you find out that one of your most unlikely of friends used to be a stripper-prostitute, and you are disturbed. And maybe you forget about it, but each time you are reminded, it becomes, once again, the most terrifying thing you have ever heard. Catcopter - you are in a place few minds have gone before. The fact that I am proliferating this is a sure sign of the downfall of society, and I apologize in advance. But I can't help myself.....the disaster draws me in....
