I caught a piece of Scarborough tonight and-- well no surprise, the Oscars have been compromised... And some preacher thinks Rock made the event "ghetto" (by the way is it me or did Joe play Chandler in friends?)
I've never watched the Oscars cover to cover before as I did last night... Because Rock hosted the thing... He was tame (compared to the real Chris Rock...) But still hillarious. Is it that pundits can't handle a strong black opinion (so as to go out and get strong black opposition to return fire)?
I mean, the oscars have always sucked... Rock's inject at the Magic Johnson theater poked at that (AVP best movie GAH!) No one is interested in Hollywood's self masturbation... As rock alluded to before the big show (Drudge was all over
Rock the past couple weeks)...
And now Drudge and others are pointing to a slump thanks to "more popular[ity] in the big cities than rural areas" viewership.
No surprise the fine people at fox are pissed (i think it's time Zach De La Rocha admits he's nowhere near as pissed as the folks at Fox News and hands over the angry man mantle to o'rielly)
And the Post is Pissed...
I personally think he did a good job of putting lipstick on the Oscars... He took shots at Kerry and deflated liberal zealots Robins and Penn. He took shots at both ends and was very very funny...
The scary thing to me is even if you do flop artistically or in the public forum these days... You are equally (if not more) flopping in the political forum (read those rat bastard screaming heads)... We are cannon fire at this point.
