OK, I tried to watch that NBC show “Stars Earn Stripes”<\/a> last night. I really tried, but between the voice over of that smoldering turd, Wesley Clark and Nick Lachey telling me that “Nothing prepares you for battle like being in a boy band”, I only lasted about ten seconds into the intro. So if you’re looking for a review of the action last night, you won’t get it here.<\/p>\n

I did, however listen to Dean Cain this morning on Fox & Friends who couldn’t stop talking about how much he admires the troops for going through that stuff everyday. Of course, some of us might disagree with him on that. Most of our days are filled with mind-numbing boredom, cleaning weapons, checking fluid levels on our vehicles, tightening bolts, replacing track pads, scrubbing TA-50 and then getting it all inspected.<\/p>\n

Anyway, leave it to a Nobel Laureate to call it all a glorification of war<\/a>; <\/p>\n

Besides Tutu, signers of the letter are Jody Williams, Mairead Maguire, Shirin Ebadi, Jose Ramos-Horta, Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Oscar Arias Sanchez, Rigoberta Menchu Tum and Betty Williams.<\/p>\n

The Nobel laureates also declared their support for a protest against the show outside NBC’s Rockefeller Center headquarters in Manhattan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NBC counters that it’s not a glorification of war, but rather a glorification of service. Well, we all know better – it’s glorification of profits for NBC. They wouldn’t have put the show on TV if there wasn’t an audience, and that’s more to the point. I’m sure there were a lot of people who enjoyed the show last night who weren’t me (I have trouble staying interested in any “reality show” anyway, because I already know that I’m surrounded by assholes, I don’t need TV to remind me).<\/p>\n

Now I’m sure that morons like Tutu think Stolen Valor was about free speech, but they want to influence what Americans watch on TV with their pointless lamentations about the glorification of war and violence. <\/p>\n

Tutu and his band of idiots should go back to their own shithole countries and change things there. I’m sure they have more problems than TV shows which are probably easier to change than anything they think is wrong with the US. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
