ryan seacrest must die.

i watch more tv than i probably should, in fact some days i get to thinking that any tv is too much and that i'm just feeding the desire that i have to be passively entertained. one of the bad habits i've picked up is that whenever i get home from work, one of the first two or three things that i do is locate the remote and turn on the tv. it didn't use to be that way, in the past i'd be able to show enough restraint to wait at least an hour or so until the simpsons came on.

the trouble started when i got cable and discovered that "walker, texas ranger" came on at five, and became compounded when fox put "king of the hill" on at the same time. i've still got walker to contend with, but what fox has done with their five o'clock slot is nearly enough to sour me on tv. it would be bad enough if they took king of the hill off in favor of "dharma and greg" or some stupid shite like that, but no, their designs were far more sinister, because now we get that douchebag of the highest degree, ryan seacrest.

the commercials i saw for his show were, i thought, pretty innocuous, i thought it was pretty funny that he said the show would be "dangerous". what's so dangerous about a hollywood studio where an irrelevant, freshly finished with puberty dj turned talk show host fraternizes with the spare celebs who can't get on with wayne brady or regis and kelly, i sill haven't figured out.

i think if someone were someone to force me into the studio audience for a taping of that show, that would be dangerous.
