TMZ POSTERS. GIVIN' THE LOOOOVE TO GOOD DAY SACRAMENTO.

So, I had missed the Joan Rivers "F-Bomb" episode of Good Day Sacramento (musta gone to work already?), but caught it on CNN tonight, with the, ahem, comedienne providing further comments on the incident. So, I nosed around on the Internet frontier for some more info, and of course, the trough for media pigs everywhere, TMZ, had a story posted right after the whole sorry spectacle aired. Out of the comments, looks like Joan Rivers took the brunt of the bruising (I got sorta bored reading "old bitch" and "old hag" so many times- please, people, invest in a good ol' fashioned thesaurus sometime, 'kay?).

But the comments on Mark S. Allen (who, naturally, triggered the Rivers meltdown) and, occasionally, the rest of the Good Day staff were at least a bit more interesting, to put it mildly.

I thought that comment 50 was intriguing.

"Mark S Allen is the sort of unchanging, incompetent juvenile delinquent that the degenerate subculture in media loves, since it allows them to greatly lower their standards and ethics and hence pay less, reduce the expectations of the audience and "dumb them down" all around. That is exactly the same subculture that put George Bush in government and put two missiles into the towers after rigging them and WTC Building 7 with the thermite. "

So, the Stinking Shadow Conspiracy is responsible for the election of Dubya, the 9/11 setup, and Mark S. Allen's career. No, haven't caught that one on Disinformation recently.

Commenter number 62, apparently, can't decide whether to hate Rivers or the show more:

For that dumb as s reporter ( the woman ) to keep repeating I didnt expect her to go there at all.. GIMME a break. Joan Rivers has a mouth to make sailors blush.. You have to always watch what you say with that old batalax(sic). She can dish it out in heaps but when someone dishes to her she gets all freaked out.. She's 100 years old what do you expect from a foul mouth old hag.

Comment number 64 (which is posted by the same username as number 50) really was the work of someone who was feeling the bile rise up the throat, and decided to come back for an encore:

The skank reporter in the middle is a stale suburban polyester politically correct bag of bleach. Everything except baby kittens offends people like that. The most appropriate thing to do for Sacramento is to BURN THAT TELEVISION STUDIO TO THE GROUND, OR, change the channel, or of course, the best option is to STOP WATCHING TELEVISION YOU MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

(Gentle word of advice: When holding down the exclamation key to emphasize how wild and crazy a ranter you are to the world, remember to take your right finger off of the "!" key first, and then let go of the shift, then that pesky lil' "1" isn't hanging at the end and you don't look even lamer than you have just demonstrated).

You can always tell who is posting from a "real city", or at least wants to be, as evidenced by poster number 306:

Rivers was on their rinky-dink little local show as a GUEST, and the awkward, effeminate nobody from the two-bit "Good Day Sacramento" program (or is that a podcast from someone's garage) thought he would take a cheap shot for some publicity. Talk about riding someone else's coattails, eh, Johnny Nobody?

His ass should be canned ASAP because you do NOT treat guests like that on a television show and then expect others to appear in the future. It would be no loss whatsoever to any celebrity or author to skip appearing on a program in a impoverished podunk town full of gang members and foreclosed homes like Sacramento.


I'm surprised that comment 393 didn't pop up earlier...

Wow, that loser from Sacramento looks like he's had even more plastic surgery than Joan! Of course he looks like he's about twenty or thirty years older than her, plus he has no real career, so I guess he's had lots more time to get it all in.

But 394? Now that was just wrong...

Maybe this guy took Joan's child molester joke about Michael Jackson personally. He sure has a really creepy vibe about him.

I just couldn't do more than skim most of these 571 points of light. But before I go rinse my eyeballs from my exposure to TMZ, I need to share something important with you.

You see, I am the cause of all of the controversy.

What happened is this: the F-bomb uttered on live TV the other day followed me here from Boston.

A detailed account is found on page 142 of From Rage To Reason, by Janet Langhart Cohen, the former host of the WCVB Channel 5 1970's morning talk show, Good Day! (uh, huhhh... yeah trippy huh?) Lauren Hutton, then a very hot supermodel, was asked about the keys to her success, and her reply was, "I fucked around". Well, at least she was a little more creative than Joan. (And by the way, this book is overall a pretty decent read.)
