I was going to add my lessons recently learned but this just irritated me...

I’m flipping through channels on my metal break from my book moments, I spot bits about Levi Johnson.  (Bristol Palin’s Baby Daddy)  In one, he’s reported to be posing nude for Playgirl.  Another, he’s on a commercial for Pistachios.  He has a body guard blocking groupies from getting at him (ew, who would?)  and the line is…. ‘This time Levi does it with protection.”  Then Levi eats a pistachio. Then "get crackin'" voice over.

Can that get anymore crass?  I don’t care what you feel about politics, that’s just plan rude.  And what does it have to do with pistachio nuts?  Ya know, that says one thing, he’s riding the fame carpet, not on talent, but on (misusing) his man junk.

Worse is someone paid him for that.  Johnson can do what he wants to make a living, but at the expense of another, crosses the line.  I’m sure people will disagree, and you’re welcome to, but this shows me we are a society that has lost its manners.

Luckily, I've only seen this late at night.

One more irritant... I am so sick of reality TV I could scream. 

I can’t tell you how much I HATE this stuff.  Its like waiting to see who will draw first blood.  Hollywood writers can’t come up with a fresh idea?  (I know a few hundred in OCC RWA who could)  Reality is cheaper, I get that, no Screen Actors Guild to contend with, no costumes, writers, and minimal sets, but because of that, its not worth my time.  My husband likes watching Survivor.  I have no idea why. To him, they’re all idiots ignoring the obvious because he can survive in the wild with nothing.  I surf over these shows and think, why would you put yourself through that, behave that way, on national television?  Oh yeah, the million dollars.  Sorry, not enough money in my book.

I like my privacy, and I have manners and moral standards.

Since I've gone off topic...join the rant.

Tell me, what's pushed your button lately?
