JACKASS MARK SHAPIRO LEAVES ESPN
Mark Shapiro–the man who brought you the Hollywoodization of ESPN, along with punchline ESPN film “3″–has left the network to work with Daniel Snyder. Good to see a wicked deed punished accordingly, since working for Snyder will surely result in his firing and public embarrassment. Adios, jackass.

Fuck him and everyone else at ESPN responsible for the horrendous shift away from sports and towards entertainment that has occurred since it was acquired by Disney. ESPN used to be about sports, just like MTV used to be about music videos. Now ESPN is trying to draw non-sports watchers into the fold and the results are just embarrassing.
They should all be locked in a room for one year and forced watch nothing but Nancy Grace while listening to Bette Middler non-stop.

I was going to watch Quite Frankly, but then I found out that Small Wonder repeats were on during the same time slot.

Speaking of Small Wonder repeats…was I the only one who “hit puberty” watching that show? Even now, I still get a dirty little thrill from white knee-highs (seeing, not wearing). Between that and Out of this World, any chance I had of viewing women as equals in adult relationships were pretty much trashed. TV taught me that chicks were either robots or aliens.
Come to think of it, TV wasn’t lying.
