I think I actually like watching things that are bad, especially bad music videos on VH1 Classic. I mean, I'll draw the line at watching Miami Sound Machine and Janet Jackson videos, but most of the other sucky ones I'll watch just for a laugh.

As far as the Pam Anderson roast, that was such a very Paddy Chayefsky-esque study in popular culture. Just like the movie 'Network' the Pam roast was a reflection on popular tastes and totally depressing at that. Interesting in some of the ways 'Network' was by making sad comments about TV and society.

Look...without trying to sound crude here, I like stacked young ladies just as much as the next guy. I'm a huge (no pun intended) Russ Meyer fan. But Andy Dick just freely playing around with Pam's tits (I couldn't beleive it...he was just having a free for all with them), all of the Tommy Lee big dick jokes, and last but not least the very pathetic and disgusting Courtney Love it's all just very sad. These are the big draws in entertainment? These people are satisfied with their careers after being part of that? Somebody please bring back Dean Martin!

One last note: enough with the gushing over how Sarah Silverman is a comic genius. Wow, a cute girl that tells offensive ethnic jokes and miscellaneous dirty humor. Gee..that's just so....amazing...

We just lost Richard Pryor. For as much foul language and ethnic stereotypes he used in his humor, he was never as class-less as Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Stern or any of the comic 'geniuses' we have today.
