My Awesomeness is Vital! To Humanity!

Forgive me... I have been reading Toothpaste For Dinner. Now I am stuck in a very primitive way of writing. It is like when I hear british accents and have to say things in a limey way like hey guvnah and bloody hell. So I will write like the toothpaste for dinner guy has his cartoons. I can not help it I am goofy that way.

Okay, I'm partly better now.

Seriously, a very bad TV show is The Cut. Tommy Hilfiger is quite the jackhole, isn't he? Does he not know that all the people he has as contestants are talent-free dinguses? The one guy actually said, "If I don't win, the world will suffer for it."

I'm sure he meant this in the non-violent way, of course. That would be pretty freakin' scary otherwise. But it's still scary, even though he means that the loss of his talent to the world would be such a tragedy. Oy! Yes... because it would be so TERRIBLE to not have his, whatever, new denim jeans designs? That would be a loss to the world? Geez, it's not like he designs SHOES... That would REALLY be, uh...

Okay, I'm not exactly into clothes. I've never cared much about fashion. But even if you were focused on clothes and styles twenty-four hours a day, how self-involved do you have to be to think it's vital to the Welfare of The World? That's all I'm saying.

And the catchphrase of the show, because they all need a "You're Fired?" Tommy sneers at the person he's booting and cuts them with, "You're out of style!" And they do the walk of shame down the catwalk.

The show is so cheesy that it would be great if it had any self-awareness at all. Instead, Tommy Hilfiger is utterly serious about it all. This show makes a great example of what not to do for the other famewhore celebrities pushing their brands. But... I guess that's kind of the level you sink to when your name is also your brand identity. And you're a dingus, of course.
