One More Reason Why The View Sucks

Just for the record, I can't count the reasons that come before this particular reason. This is because there are just too many to count. For one thing, who wants to listen to a bunch of whiny bitches complain for an hour? Today the reason for The View sucking more than usual is Whoopi Goldberg. On her first day on the job, she decided that it would be a good idea to defend Michael Vick. I don't care how many days you've been working, there is never a good day to do this. According to her, he can't help it because dog fighting is part of his culture. This is because he is from The South and dog fighting is not unusual in The South. Well, I guess everyone from The South is a hillbilly, toothless, yokel that likes a good dog fight on the weekends. Didn't you know that we all fight our dogs and marry our cousins? This kind of thought pattern makes her a stupid Yankee. Last time I checked, dog fighting was a felony in every state in the United States. This in itself is argument that it is not part of our culture and it is not an accepted form of entertainment-- even in The South. Of course, on her second day at work she claimed she was not defending Michael Vick. Well, she sure is making some ridiculous excuses for him and his inexcusable, criminal behavior. Just when I thought I would never watch The View, I was just handed one more good reason to keep tuning out.

I don't have a problem with Whoopi but I do have a problem with the View cause they talk over each other so much I get annoyed. As for what Whoopi said, I dont think she was actually defending Vick as much as she was talking about what goes on in the rural areas of the Deep South. I grew up in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina and have seen places in the country where this stuff goes on. When I was a kid, my parents and I used to occasionaly take a Sunday drive (where did that go?) through the country to see the sights or find fresh peaches. I saw a lot of dog pens and rooster pens where fighting dogs and birds were kept. Do fighting and Cock fighting is popular there. Let's face it, even the University of South Carolina mascot is the "Fighting Gamecock". I agree this is a terrible thing and would like to see these guys like Vick thrown under the jail.

I disagree. What she was saying that dog fighting is part of the culture of the Deep South. I don't argue the point that it exists, but it is not a part of the general culture of the South as put forth by Whoopi. Point in fact, Michael Vick is facing harsher charges under the state laws rather than the federal laws. If it is so socially acceptable and such an important part of the culture, why is it a felony? Dog fighting and cock fighting are also prevalent in other rural places all over the country. I think it boils down to a lame argument and that show still sucks.

Whoa, Pineapple, haven't seen you this irate since our buddy Alberto was chatting it up with Congress.

I miss Alberto. Do you have any ideas for potential targets for my anger/hatred?

mad said...

Not at the moment, but I'm sure our friends the Republicans won't let you down!
