Working For A Clown

Get a load of this.



Are these people serious? Apparently they must be. And why not. They stand to make a few bucks. I would be on a lame ass TV show for a few bucks too.

But really - imagine having a boss named "Diddy". I would have to laugh. I could not take anyone who wanted me to call them "Diddy" (not his real name by the way) seriously. It would be like working for Bozo T. Clown.

But the boss wanted you to call him "Mr. Clown". And if you were employee of the month, the boss makes you a balloon animal of your choice.

I would choose a giant squid, just to see if the boss could make a giant squid balloon animal. And if he could I would be impressed.

But it gets better! Your boss wants you to call him "Diddy" AND your boss also walks around wearing one of those microphone head set things.

At this point I would be laughing so hard I may wet my pants.

I think Diddy really needs a secretary. You know, someone to answer his phone for him and say "sorry, but Diddy is away from his desk. I would be happy to take a message".

And then there is the "this is what is like in the heat of battle" comment.

What the hell could that be? Someone hooked the DVD player up to the THX home theater incorrectly? Someone hot him confused for MC Hammer? The recording studio ran out of blank CDs?

This may very well turn out to be the worst TV show ever. Which would be an accomplishment, as there have been some really terrible TV shows.

But I would still be on it. For the money. I doubt I would last too long on it as I would have a hard time taking it all seriously.

Unless the money was really good. For enough money I can take anything seriously.

You Sir, Deserve A Pimp Slap!

This is a video of the Taiwan Parliament. Over there, political debates are often heated. Sometimes TOO heated. So every now and then a brawl breaks out.

A real brawl. With real fists and hair pulling and eye glasses flying all over the place. Tie vote? FIST FIGHT! The side with the last person standing gets to cast the tie breaking vote. I wonder what all those signs say. My guess is "Round 1" or "(party name) for kicking the ass of (opposing party)". Maybe they need to ban signs from Parliament.

I think this is the element that USA politics is missing. A good old fashioned fist fight. One is long overdue. I know the revisionist out there are always trying to make it sound like the USA is this perfect nation founded on high ideals and grand principles, but the fact is that at one time the USA was the world's best place to get your eye gouged out. Or to be killed in a duel. Or get stabbed by someone wearing a raccoon skin hat.Or maybe just get into a massive bar fight.

It is the British that were all civilized with their tea time and funny sounding curse words.

So I am sure that the hallowed halls of Congress have seen fist fights before. The White House too. I mean it HAD TO have happened. Back before the invention of TV and the film camera - what was to stop a law maker from getting shit faced and kicking someone's ass? Even a President. It is said that President Grant - the dude on the $50 bill - was a known drunk. Long before Bush Number 1 puked on the Prime Minister of Japan Grant was puking on everyone. But without CNN to show the video nobody knew about it. And even if they did - EVERYONE was a drunk back then! Drinking water was dangerous because bacteria that could make you sick or even dead lived in that water. Whiskey on the other hand was bacteria free. So was beer. Wine was for those wussies in more civilized nations - Americans were into Rye Whiskey, Burbon, and beer.

So get with it Congress! We the people demand a knock down drag out bar room fight in Congress. And we want to see it on CSPAN. Why should Taiwan television viewers get all the fun?
