They are frigging everywhere, and yet amazingly talent-free. And I agree with you on Bump, I like that one, where&#39;s the new stuff? How many times can they show Dante&#39;s Cove?Brahm (alfred lives here)http://www.blogger.com/profile/11883394577835241921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134830813707647265.post-73813917347196197472011-01-23T23:12:53.428-07:002011-01-23T23:12:53.428-07:00New Addams Family - watched it only once and that was enough. <br /><br />Nancy Grace - I find her very annoying. <br /><br />The Jersey Shore? What is up with that show? People really like that crap? And those Kardasian people - OH! Can we talk??!!<br /><br />OutTV - good concept but I am sick to death of endless reruns. HOW many times can they broadcast the 4 or 5 episodes of the DL Chronicles?? And where is the new season of Bump??Vancouver Isle Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04717589674323744276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134830813707647265.post-14901853722143144522011-01-14T04:42:08.721-07:002011-01-14T04:42:08.721-07:00@Clare- feel better! And due to my total lack of skill in the kitchen, I tend to just be impressed by all the tv chefs when I see them. That being said, I do sometimes wonder why someone who has lived their whole life in California has an Italian accent. <br /><br />@Rick - I agree on copyright issues. Still annoying. How is that customer-centric?<br /><br />@Annie - yes, Piers Morgan takes over Larry King&#39;s daily CNN show next week and is now on annoying publicity tour. The dude seems pretty convinced he is the best interviewer ever and North America is lucky to have him.

Not available in Canada probably means copyright issues haven&#39;t been worked out yet. I&#39;m sure they will be soon. <br />7). Couldn&#39;t agree more.<br />8). Fire her ass NOW.<br />9).

I truly believe we should not alter or adapt or censor art. If the reason is to appeal to kids and to widen the reading audience, do that with conversations about language and tone and context. That is the role of parents and teachers.Brahm (alfred lives here)http://www.blogger.com/profile/11883394577835241921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134830813707647265.post-4345701704632846592011-01-12T06:32:29.836-07:002011-01-12T06:32:29.836-07:00Sorry Jim, I have to disagree. The parents should always know what their kids are reading, read along with them, and talk as they go along. My 12 year old has been hearing these words since way before he turned 12 in school, on the bus, etc. I totally disagree with people thinking literature must be censored for this reason. The government, schools and such need to stop trying to parent our children. I want my children to hear all of those words early on so that I can teach them from a very young age what they mean and how they hurt others.Nickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13877564312244508811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134830813707647265.post-25449828563860068372011-01-11T07:59:59.347-07:002011-01-11T07:59:59.347-07:00I believe the publisher of the New Adventures Of Huck Finn is doing this for the younger audience? I can see this being a good thing for kids under say under 12. We adults can still read the original version and realize and understand to put the language into an historical perspective. Kids, generally, can&#39;t do this. I do not like censorship either but I feel sometimes it is warranted when young people are involved.There is plenty of time for them to mature and wrap their heads around the fact that the world has racists in it.<br />I agree that Ms.Walters really doesn&#39;t know what she is saying sometimes.....someone should tell her that it is time.<br />You can&#39;t talk about &#39;my Nicole&#39; that way! lolJimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134830813707647265.post-8741401775758637672011-01-11T06:48:50.667-07:002011-01-11T06:48:50.667-07:00*Grumble grumble grumble* Amazon.com telling me a book isn&#39;t available here PISSES ME OFF!

I don&#39;t remember which). God I hate book banners/censors. Why don&#39;t you ban/censor history classes while you&#39;re at it friggin&#39; morons.

It was like a cop Glee or something.<br /><br />Way ahead of his time.<br /><br />I always felt there was something strange about Nicole Kidman&#39;s face and you&#39;re right, it doesn&#39;t change!!!<br /><br />She&#39;s definitely an alien.Mrsblogalothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09754196222405796214noreply@blogger.com
