Clash of the TV Trash

Oh God, in Your imaginary heaven, hear my prayer ... Settle the writers' strike, please. I'm begging ya. Clash of the Choirs was on for two freakin' hours tonight. To make matters worse, I overheard some workplace nitwits discussing this show. Discussing it. They were talking about a show where Michael Bolton runs around picking up singers and they ... compete ... in some sort of singing game with judges and (my God) viewers. I'm sure this nonsense was resurrected from the trash bin at whatever network it's on, since they can't think of anything else to run. Add in the Xmas season and you get ... Clash of the Choirs. Egad.
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 1: Jesus, we're out of shows.
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 2: Really? I thought we had five more World's Most Amazing Cheese Molds in the can.
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 1: No, we ran them during the Super Bowl.
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 2: We could run that American Gladiators show.
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 1: Isn't that like, 10 years old?
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 2: Who's gonna know? Are you going to tell them? People love to watch other people beating each other up.
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 1: What about that choir show we paid for?
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 2: Oh, you mean the one with Bolton? What did he do with his hair?
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 1: He lost it when he lost his career.
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 2: How about if we let people beat Michael Bolton up?
NETWORK EXECUTIVE 1: If they can do it while he's singing, I think we've got a winner!
My guess is that there will be another baby boom, right around August or September of 2008 from all the bored couples who have been turning off the TV and doing something else. For those of us without that luxury, we thank our imaginary God for radio and the Internet.
In an effort to give you something to watch on something resembling a TV (your computer screen) this might entertain you. It's a band called Back Door Slam:

A choir show? Are you fuckin' with me? LOL...

Next they'll have a show about people sitting on the toilet taking a dump.

But I think I'd rather watch that than a show about a choir. Michael Bolton. Uh uh....

they sort of have that whole 70's vibe to them. of course i'm sure none of them were even thought of in the 70's yet. their parents were prolly smokin' weed....lol.
