And everybody's doing just what they're told to*

Heh. Kimmel gets his show yanked after some unkind remarks about Detroit:

"They're going to burn the city of Detroit down if the Pistons win, and it's not worth it," Kimmel cracked to Tirico.
Quickly, first of all: IF the Pistons win? There is no question of that. Second, as crass as it is, what that lardass, lazy-eyed, couldn't-find-funny-if-it-was-hiding-under-his-nutsack douche said has grain-of-truth potentiality. Third, it *is* an insensitive comment, maybe not worthy of being put on probation for, but I'm willing to promote a By-Any-Means-Necessary tack to rid the air of all things Jimmy Kimmel.


*TTBBBE, now with 45% more compound adjectives.

Ok, I'm probably stepping in the same pile as when I said "Creed ain't that bad," over at MeFi, but I'll say it anyway: Sure, Kimmel's not that funny, and back in the Man Show days it was Carrolla who was the funny one, but I don't get why he's been elevated to everyone's personal satan. He's harmless far as I'm concerned.

Somehow he shoves his junk inside an ostensibly willing Sarah Silverman.

Let him burn.

he never bothered me much. but if he's getting naked with Sarah Silverman, then i do, truly, hate that bastard. oh, and what he said about Detroit was totally true. but these days, speaking the truth on the airwaves is about the dumbest thing a celebrity can do. what would have happened if he'd said the same thing about LA? i mean, they actually have had riots when they won a championship...

No offense Dongy, but I'm going to need some sort independent confirmation of the Kimmel-slipping-it-to-Silverman theory. Because if it's true, that's just... well, not exactly wrong, I guess, but I always thought that somehow, some way, she'd find me.

Apropos of nada: does anyone but me find the new Man Show juggies a bit more slutty (and therefore, more emminently watchable) than the old Man Show juggies?

What? You expect me to watch MacNeil-Lehrer and Masterpiece Theatre all the time? I have puerile viewing neds just like the rest of you, dammit! I'm still reeling from the departure of Cinemax from Fes Manor.

Being the cultural island that I am, I had to image-google Ms. Silverman. What's so great about her? I mean she's not ugly or anything but she does look kinda horsefaced.

some of us find attitude a sexy trait too, jmc.

We'll I've never met her or seen her work, so her looks are all I have to go on, dude.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY! those people are my future clients.

I've already discussed my hatred for Sarah Silverman and yes, she and Kimmel are still dating.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY! those people are my future clients.
Who, the Pistons? You'll have way more clients if you represent the Lakers.

jmc, i'm just messing. i haven't seen her work (?) or met her either. i just like her cause she's good at saying things in magazines that piss off the honkys. you heard me! honkys!

I just like horsefaced gals.

Careful readers will note that I've contradicted myself entirely in these two posts. I leave it to you to sort out the mysteries of dong resin.

Posted by: dong resin at June 11, 2004 04:25 PM

i got only one wrong on the verbal section of the lsta, and i see no contradiction, so i've come to believe that dong's trying to make sarah silverman think he's smart when she googles herself.

rioters. i want to work with the rioters.
