Year: 2005

Mitch Evans stated on another thread:

“Unfortunate, but true. There are no easy answers to to the question of divorce, either, but that’s another topic for another time…”

So I figured, let’s make this another time. Sure there’s an easy answer for the question of divorce. There’s always an easy answer for everything; that’s why they’re so attractive.

The easy answer for divorce is the same answer for gay marriage: ban it. Make it illegal. You want a divorce? Not in our country, Sunny Jim. Save the children. Save the family. Ban divorce.

So many people claim that being opposed to gay marriage has nothing, no NOTHING to do with the same type of prejudice that once prohibited marriage between blacks and whites or Jew and Catholic. Heavens no. It has to do with concern over saving marriage itself, even though not one shred of evidence has been produced indicating that gay marriage would somehow threaten straight marriage.

There’s the simple answer, then. Ban divorce. Put it on the voting referendums of every single state that banned gay marriage, watch it go down and flames, and expose them for the screaming hypocrites that they are.

Anybody else have simple answers they’d care to float about for difficult problems? War? Poverty? Terrorism?

Make him stop shouting. For the love of God and the spirit of Johnny Carson looking down and wincing, make Chris Rock stop freakin’ SHOUTING. Will someone please tell this guy that if your material sucks, then kicking it into high decibels doesn’t make it better; it just makes it louder.

An occasional amusing line is tossed in here and there, but most of what he says is achingly unfunny. During his man-in-the-street interview sequence, the twenty second appearance of Albert Brooks made it clear that Brooks is infinitely more qualified to host than Rock. Jesus, Edna Mode is more qualified to host.

It is painful to see time-saving bits like lining up all the nominees or bringing the Oscars to people’s seats, like pizza delivery, with a caste system that says some people belong on stage and others don’t, and then watch the show hemorrhage time with Rock’s routines and other lugubrious presentations.

Not to go all Comic Book Guy, but this is going to go down in history as one of the worst Oscar broadcasts ever.

Peter will be at the PBA Cambridge Credit Classic today which will air on ESPN at 12:30 (Sunday Feb. 27, 2005). If you watch the broadcast, he is wearing a shirt with the Fantastic Four emblem on his chest and a blue bowling shirt. Ariel will be sitting next to him in a simular bowling shirt. We’re cheering for Chris Barnes who is a really nice guy.

Remember Peter’s run on X-Factor, where he discussed the implications on a test that could determine if the fetus would be a mutant?

Welcome to the future:
