Pledging Purity?

Why are all these young singers pledging purity by saying they will not have sex until they are married?  Who are they kidding?  I don't think you need to wait until you are married to have sex.  Actually, if you do that, you will most likely have sex once and then never again until you get a divorce.  Why can't these teens just wait until they are 18...then have sex.  They don't have to have sex when they are 15.  Just wait a few years.  Then do it. 

Seriously...The Color Purple was like a hundred years ago.

I was watching Oprah's special today on the World's "Smartest and Most Talented Kids Around the World".  First, no matter what the show is about, Oprah always finds a way to quote the Color Purple or in some way tell the world that she was in the color purple.  It just doesn't matter what the show is about.

Anyway, every time Oprah does this special, she has the same annoying kids on.  The one who can breakdance, the one who can name all the presidents, the one who can bend her tiny body backwards, the one who can hulahoop, the one who can tap dance.  And can I just say....when you go to Debbie Allen's school of dance, you are not an "average" kid.  

Also, the one who can play the violin, the one who can sing, and lets not forget the one who can yodel.  Yes, that's right...the one who always has to come on with a red ruffled shirt, pigtails with red bows and yodel.  

Still Life

Just because you have a camera phone does not mean that you should use said camera phone for your match.com profile.  No matter what people say, you DO judge by looks.  Everyone does.  And if you say that you don't, then you are a liar and I don't want to date liars.  At least not ugly liars.  So at least put a good picture up.  

Scrub

Is there a reason that Dr. Oz wears scrubs on the Oprah show?  There was a whole show today dedicated to the obvious things that we can do to make ourselves beautiful and the low-cost CVS purchases that we can use to do this.  

Oprah decided that Dr. Oz was the best person to describe to these women what it takes to be beautiful.  But my main question is why the hell does he need to wear scrubs to do this.  I could have sworn he was hard for half the show too.  Toe fungus, frizzy hair and acne doesn't do it for me but I guess it does for Dr. Oz.

Also, my favorite quote of the show was when Dr. Oz was talking about women's eye bags and he said something to this effect, "woman care more about the bags under your eyes than the men who love and care about you."  uhhhh....why can't I go on Oprah and say that for $10 million a year?

Saturday Morning

I was watching Hannah Montana on Saturday morning and there was a commercial for these dolls that are dogs that are all dressed up...and I could have sworn that one of the dogs actually said, "you are such a ho".  Seriously...I think that might have happened.  

What ever happened to Transformer commercials during the Smurfs?  I miss Azriel.
