Alright, Comedy Central just totally pissed me off, environmentally
and even more than that.

I watched the show "Distraction" for the first time, and I was laughing my ass off and enjoying it, until the very final end, where the "winner" won a laptop (a macintosh, I believe), a new TV, and a Vespa. Okay, all fine, I was excited.

But then, to actually win the goddamn things, the contestant has to answer one last question for each prize - while each prize sits under an oil barrel filled with cement. Contestant has ten seconds to answer the question, or the barrel is dropped, crushing the prize.

And people wonder why other countries hate this country.

WE've gone from the incredible evil of conspicuous and out of control consumption, to the world of just destroying the shit and calling it entertainment.

An environmental disaster of ridiculous proportion, as well as a true stain on American "culture".

Makes me sad - I was enjoying the show so much.

Now I wonder if supporting Comedy Central for anything is worth my money.

Tonight's show they crushed the laptop - fucking obliterated it - and the Vespa.
