I’ve been thinking about the MTV Video Music Awards. A lot. Not because I want to. And definitely not because it was my choice to watch. But, because I can’t remember the last time I saw an awards show that made me question how the human race isn’t dumber than it is.
Oh, that’s right. I forgot about the MTV Movie Awards.
But, let’s focus on the VMAs. As a measuring stick of dumb, we’ll compare the show with this year’s Republican National Convention.
| Republican National Convention | MTV Video Music Awards |
|---|---|
| Embarrassing speaker Fred Thompson | Embarrassing host Russell-somebody |
| Large groups of rich white men | Large groups of The Hills wannabes |
| Poor performance by Democrat Joe Liberman | Poor performance by lip-syncher Christina Aguilera |
| The cuddly white Palin kids | The cuddly white Jonas Brothers |
| John McCain pretending not to be crazy | Britney Spears pretending not to be crazy |
I feel dumb for having watched either. I feel even dumber for having watched both.

I like the new design – very clean. I re-posted this entry on my “best of posts” here http://www.johndarko.com/2008/09/tasty-goody-blog-time-best-of-posts-pt2.html made me laugh. Was also wondering if you change the blogroll info for my site to http://www.johndarko.com don’t use the blogspot addy anymore. No biggie though : )
Awesome!
