Just a Public Service Announcement



Don't do it.

Don't agree to do a reality show about Curling, of all things.

Reality Show. Look at those two words. Know what that means. They're ugly words when applied to the TV screen, as well as 'older stars'. You do not need to join 'can't keep a girl once I fucked her because I need a second season' Micheals. You don't need to bring yourself that low. No, seriously you don't.

I'm begging here. From one New Jersey native to others.

Please don't do it. Don't fall to the evil.

Don't make your girl cry.

Love,
Anne.

....nooooooo.

Will I need brain bleach, or will it just be the guys playing? (I know what curling is; the jugs are cute. :) ).

Nah. It's just a bunch of variations on the same article I posted. I mainly noted two main things: all the newspapers reporting the story were Canadian*, and that an "unnamed source" is the one who claims that Jon and the Boss rent arenas to go curling in their spare time and that the wannabe producers of the show are "said to be in talks" and "courting". While this may or may not be true, and I'm sure both Jon and Broooose have enough spare cash on hand to do whatever the hell they want on their days off, it just sounds...odd. You know? And why no mention in the American press?

I picture the conversations going like this:
Producers: Please?
Jon: No.
Producers: Pretty please?
Jon: Send me something in writing.

Also, it's been done before. Hasn't any of these guys seen Help!?


*I am not Canada-bashing here.

Yeah, they may have seen help, but that was years ago...and going 'retro' seems to be the big thing this year.

LOL at the 'conversation'. :)
