Billboards, Killers & Pie


She’s the Agent, he’s the Secret.

Well the secret’s out- Chuck is unwatchable.

Did I get a screener because I am a showbiz insider? Nope. I have an uncanny ability to gauge the watchability of a show, based on viewing a few seconds of a promo and seeing a few billboards.

Or in the case of CHUCK, a few thousand billboards.

In other news, do my neighbors EVER STOP washing clothes? The incessant spin cycle is INSUFFERABLE. I am fairly certain based on the newspaper covering all of their windows that the constant spin cycle is connected to a need to wash the bloody clothes of their victims before they dismember them and stuff their parts into the freezer.

I should bake them a pie.

This fella “Chuck,” who works for the “Nerd Herd.” Which is a clever play on Best Buy’s “Geek Squad.” Please. I’ve never seen a guy that good looking even shopping at a Best Buy.

If your eyes happen to accidentally fall on a billboard that isn’t Chuck, you can rest assured, it’s for this great new reality show, KID NATION.


Children live without any parental supervision for 40 days- children as young as 8.
The parents actually had to sign a waiver that released the show from any responsibility if their kids died.

The billboard reads...

"I CAN’T BELIEVE WE’RE ABOUT TO DO THIS!"

I guess they ran out of room on the ads because it should read... “"I CAN’T BELIEVE WE’RE ABOUT TO DO THIS...TO OUR CHILDREN!”

The Ellen billboards though are the most annoying, “I watch Ellen because she’s my BFF.”

This woman in Wisconsin actually believes she’s best friends with Ellen Degeneres and how does the Ellen show respond to her delusional thinking? They reward it by putting her giant crazy head on a billboard.

That’s irresponsible and sick if you ask me. It seems pretty low to stoop to get new viewers, taking advantage of the mentally ill.

Plus her giant crazy face scares me. She’s grinning menacingly over all of us on LaBrea and Melrose. That’s not pleasant.
