John Goodman’s Appearance On ‘DWTS’ Sparks Controversey

John Elway Has Relaxed His Training Regimen Since Retiring From Professional Football.

John Goodman’s appearance on the 2011 season of Dancing With the Stars has ruffled some feathers.  The transsexual former actor has joined the cast of DWTS, along with such other dubious talents as David Arquette, Ricki Lake and the mildly-retarded Nancy Grace.  Although Goodman will be dancing with a woman, it appears that his presence on the show is enough to disgust some sensitive viewers.

"I Got You Babe." Goodman's Parents May Have Been Unusual, But They Loved Him Nonetheless.

Most of these viewers are of course repulsed by Goodman’s manatee-like physique, which should impart his dancing with all the grace and beauty of an Oompa-Loompa hoedown.  A smaller portion of fussy shut-ins, however, is concerned with the message the actor’s unconventional lifestyle will give to viewers.  Goodman is simply not physically attractive, and modern television audiences prefer their members of the LGBT Community to be at least moderately good-looking.

"No Fat Chicks."

It would be foolish to count Goodman out just yet.  Despite his corpulence and complete lack of coordination, the former Chastity Bono knows how to navigate the tricky shoals of show business.  The child of singer-songwriter Janice Ian and U2’s Bono is a survivor, and will pull out all the stops to win the competition, including, if events demand it, devouring the other contestants.

Moronic Song Inspires Moronic Death Threats

Once Upon A Time, Psychos Shot Public Figures To Impress Acclaimed Actresses. Today They'll Do It For Kirstie Alley.

The world has changed a great deal since Mark David Chapman was convinced by overrated teen-angst novel The Catcher in the Rye that John Lennon was a “phony” and needed to die.  Although Chapman will be forever hated as the man who killed John Lennon but didn’t kill Yoko Ono when he had the chance, it must be granted that in selecting the former Beatle as the target for his psychopathic rage, he was certainly aiming high.

Still Alive. Why, God? Why?

In 2011, fringy weirdos are apparently under no compulsion to set such lofty goals for themselves, as evidenced by disturbing news from Anaheim, California that imbecilic viral sensation Rebecca Black has received two death threats.  An unnamed source with the Anaheim PD confirmed the report, saying: “It’s baffling that someone should be upset over this song.”  While admitting it was insipid, aural crack, he added, “But Rebecca has an IQ of 73–she literally doesn’t know what she’s singing–or Auto-Tuning, rather.”

The offensive video:

There are those who remain unconcerned about this incident, denying any link to a wider social trend, reasoning that, after all, Friday is a pretty shitty song.  But a growing number of cultural watchdogs see this as symptomatic of society’s devolution as a whole.  “A few years ago,” says Dr. Emil Haagerdäddi of the Cambridge Institute for Stalker Studies, “This nut would have been gunning for Bono or Kurt Cobain.  But those pukes in Good Charlotte are too highbrow for today’s headcase.  It’s sad, really.”

A Literary Work No Longer Needs To Have Cultural Resonance To Inspire Pathetically Crazed Fans.

It’s too early to tell if the doomsayers are correct in believing that humanity has fallen to such a level that the effect is evidenced even in society’s outliers.  True or not, it’s best to err on the side of caution, and provide a little extra protection for such pop music footnotes as Susan Boyle and that pouty little gay kid from American Idol.

Did You Know?: Earth's Spiritual Leader Was Once In A Band.

Bono isn’t just the earthbound embodiment of all that is earnest and righteous in the cosmos, He’s also the world’s most famous Irishman (there are eleven other famous Irish people, four of whom are living).  Although He is by no means representative of the Irish people as a whole, He does put to rest a number of stereotypes.  For example: He’s not particularly quarrelsome, isn’t known for the drink and has money coming out His ass.

Good on ya, Mate!*

Lucky, Ireland's 2nd Most Famous Person. "If Ye Think Yer Havin' A Go At Me Lucky Charms, Then Yer In Fer A Right Fookin' Surprise. I'll See Ye Dead First, I Will."

*Australia and Ireland are entirely different countries.  No, they’re not even near each another. ∞T.

Mullets Are Slightly Less Heinous Than Fauxhawks

Blame His Parents, His Community Or Even TV, But Leave The Kid Alone. He Don't Know No Better.

The mullet and the fauxhawk, two uniquely odious hairstyles which perch like fur gargoyles atop less-discriminating pates throughout the United States and Europe, are not often mentioned in the same breath.  The two could not be more dissimilar, and yet they are united in pileous* ignominy.  Along with the frizzy perm, which fortunately has grown rare in recent decades, these hideous head sculptures comprise a hairy Axis of Eww.

The mullet is by far the oldest of the three, its origins described in hushed tales of a land in a time long past, where the rivers were said to flow not with water but Corona, and where every spring the methamphetamine trees would bloom.

Briefly in vogue during the 1980s, the mullet has been returned to its ancestral practitioners, typically fringy rednecks or sweaty European soccer stars.

Happily, Like Small Pox And Polio Before It, The Frizzy Perm Is Quietly Going Away.

By comparison, the fauxhawk is a new arrival on the fashion scene.  Lacking the balls to be a mohawk, but still too douchey for polite company, the fauxhawk is a coward’s hairstyle.  The fauxhawk’s relative newness coupled with a lack of media access among the poor and the stupid allows the hairstyle to spread in places ignorant to its deleterious effect upon the community.

Achtung, Mullet! Elvis Presley Brought Black Music To A Wider Audience, And The Beatles Introduced Us To Crazy Drugs And Beautiful Ideas. Bono's Gift Was A Hairstyle.

Fauxhawk apologists claim this limited acceptance as evidence of the hairstyle’s superiority over the mullet, reckoning it to be the lesser of two evils.  As with the medical community’s resistance to Joseph Lister’s insistence on  sterile medical equipment, simply because someone is unaware of the fauxhawk’s insipidity does not exempt them from same.  Not only are these wearers of the fauxhawk wallowing blissfully in their own suckitude, but their ignorance renders them into objects of pity.

Britney Sports A Thoroughly Modern Femullet For Her Appearance At The Festival For Traditional Southern Culture, Folk Art And Rasslin'.

People with mullets, or mulletards, may be mouth-breathing cretins of dubious lineage, but they have  a semblance of honor.  To the rest of the world a mullet may simply say “dipwad,” but to the mulletard it is epic poetry.  By choosing to wear a mullet, a man is making a proud statement that runs the gamut of human experience, from I know where I was when Dale Jr. died to My heart’s a little achy-breaky right now, thanks so much for askin’ and everything in between.
