For months I’ve been perplexed, trying to figure out what is was that made the Leno show suck so very, painfully badly.

Confession: I used to enjoy Leno on the Tonight Show. I’ll even admit to being a bit of a fan.  One that even followed Kevin Eubanks on Twitter. I actually was excited to watch the premiere of his prime time show.

I didn’t make it past the first half hour.  Leno’s performance in his new time slot was so bad that I couldn’t even tolerate it as background noise.  I found it to suck to such a degree that its extreme suckiness was a distraction. It’s douche chill bad.

Did he lose his writers? Is it the lack of a couch?  Did taking so much time off impact Jay’s confidence? How could a show be THAT bad? What happened?! These were the questions that buzzed around my brain each night at 1opm since September 14, 2009.

Mystery Solved
Based on recent events, I finally have a theory. Sucking that badly was no accident: Leno’s been sucking intentionally!

It’s all part of his master plan to get his old spot back hosting the “Tonight Show” and NBC execs were in on it too.

How else do you explain the chain of events that boils down to NBC rewarding Leno’s abysmal ratings by giving him exactly what he wanted all along? read more

For those times when you catch yourself thinking how much YouTube has enriched our lives . . . Just perhaps, maybe we don’t need to be this enriched!

Probably, possibly NSFW* (depending on where you work, at least!)

(Filed under: random, WTF)

*NSFW is internet lingo for “Not Safe for Work” (i.e., maybe wait ’till you’re home to watch it!)

Ok. Not really, but it would explain a lot.

To be fair, we can’t expect everyone to be a rocket scientist.  But when a person starts talking about how the East Coast has slavery and the “New California” believing in the Union (with a healthy dose of silkworms and “made in China” added for good measure), I guess it kind of leaves them open to ridicule.

sadly, no joke

If you read my most recent blog post, then you know I’m a fan of Rainn Wilson’s tweets.  It was through one of said tweets that I became aware of what I am about to share.

Warning:  What I am about to share is not for the faint of heart!

Close your eyes (humor me for a moment, if you will) and imagine the year is 2003 (cue “In da Club” by 50 Cent or Clay Aiken singing “Invincible” – your choice).  On second thought, don’t close your eyes, because then you won’t be able to read this.  Instead, just use your imagination with your eyes open (Train’s “Calling all Angels” is now playing).

Your friend (to keep it gender neutral, let’s name your friend “Pat”) calls and invites you to catch a movie.  The flick Pat has in mind recently debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and features Kate Beckinsale, Matthew McConaughey, Patricia Arquette, Peter Dinklage, David Alan Grier and Gary Oldman.

Pat has a coupon for a free popcorn and even offers to drive.  Of course you accept the invitation.

Fast forward six years to now (hopefully this doesn’t require too far a stretch of your imagination – cue Lady Gaga singing about her Pokerface if it helps).

Question:  Pat calls today and invites you to a movie.  Based on Pat’s track record, do you accept?

Need more information before you answer?  OK – I’ll indulge you.

Ladies and gentleman, for your viewing pleasure, I present the trailer for the movie you attended with Pat back in 2003:
