The easiest way to become a millionaire is to be a right-wing cretin, a yammering stooge for dysfunctional fuck-ups, or openly gay.
Several on the list are openly vicious, pig-headed hate-mongering scumbags...Beck and Limbaugh. They have no conscience. They make their fortunes by tapping into redneck stupidity and racism, and into America's brand of fundamental religious lunacy.
Then you've got drawling, crazy-faced Dr. Phil, whose agony show is mostly full of platitudes, Band-Aid advice, scolding, and the lurid thrill of watching mental cases crack up and fall to pieces. Similarly, the incredibly noisy and psychotic shrew "Judge Judy" runs the most embarrassing court program on television. It's just a platform for an obnoxious cunt to shout, scream and yap like a bitch. What's the message here? Opinionated rants and rudeness is how a courtroom is run? What happened to dignity, and the plaintiff and defendant being heard by someone who listens, and is fair and impartial and not prone to menopausal braying?
What else...you've got the openly gay Ellen on the list. OH, do we ALL love Ellen and her incredibly phony humility and her little-girl coyness. Then there's gay-girl Ryan Seacrest, a true over-achiever. He's got to host EVERYTHING. He's never uttered a witty ad-lib in his life. But he's GAY GAY GAY GAY, WHEEEEEE, GAY! Whether he comes out or not. Ryan Seacrest=GAY, and so he's FABULOUS and we must see him EVERY FUCKING DAY.
What a list. Some of the others...not even worth ranting about.
Because this blog is run by a misanthrope, you won't be surprised to find that really, the only two who are worth a dime (not millions) are the nasties Simon Cowell and Howard Stern, and that's ONLY...and I stress ONLY...because as talent judges they have been truthful (at times), and at times even somewhat amusing in their put-downs of mediocrity. But that's not why they are nearly tied for the top spot of making the most obscene amount of money.
Cowell has made his off shitty music acts and weasel business dealings. Stern has made it by being the flip side of Limbaugh, and doing a radio show that appeals to ignorant cretins...although a different species of spaz than Rush's rednecks.
Stern's been very good on "America's Got Talent" but last time I checked his radio show, he was still wasting everyone's time with porn morons, and call-ins from low class stooges, drunks, and certifiably pathetic people with brain damage. His interview style...very pushy and often tasteless...doesn't bother me much and doesn't bother celebs much. He's just sort of a gynecological Mike Wallace in that regard. It's his pandering to an army of guffawing dimwits that disgusts me and enriches his bank account so much.
Liberace used to talk about laughing all the way to the bank. Fine. He was laughing. He wasn't doing any real damage to anyone, not even himself. You can't say that about a bilious ball of dirt like Limbaugh, or dangerously inept role models like "Judge Judy" or fuckheads like Trump with his "birther" bullshit aimed at Obama. And lastly...what have these Top Ten millionaires done with their money that is at all admirable? "Judge Judy" buys antiques and fine china. Trump throws himself lavish parties. Oprah wants a $38,000 purse. Dr. Phil sets up his son to become a publisher...publishing Dr. Phil books so that they can control all the profits from their hypnotized viewership. Cowell's on a yacht somewhere knocking up some whore or other....I don't see a lot of intelligent philanthropy here. But I don't see a lot of anything here except reasons to be cynical....because...
..being a total prick and appealing to dumb worthless swine is the quickest way toward being a millionaire.
