Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Can The Blog That Nobody Reads poke fun at reality-show contestants who “aren’t here to make friends”?
Eh — I’ll leave the question to the philosophers. After all, we’re not here to…

Could somebody please raise the money and gather the will to put all of these pathetic assholes in one single location and call in an overwhelming napalm strike on it? Please?

- vanderleun | 07/09/2008 @ 16:41Without devoting too much time to it, can we compare who says these words with how well they accomplished what they WERE THERE for? I assume they “came there” to win, but most, if not all of them did not. Perhaps their proximity to the winners circle was inversely related to how much they were NHTMF.
What I believe (and I haven’t watched enough reality TV to be an expert) is that the winners never said INHTMF, but they acted like making friends was within their skill set if they needed to. Furthermore, the ones who said INHTMF, are unknowingly admitting that they don’t have the skills to win, because invariably being liked was what got you the win.
The early reality TV (game shows) didn’t reward those who could make friends; in fact, the producers looked for broken personalities to guarantee conflict. But after a few years, making friends (or the ability to be likable) was essential to winning. The bitter ones thought they could go far without it, causing the catch phrase to catch fire.
Hasn’t there been enough proof that saying INHTMF would doom your chances of winning, such that no one would say it anymore?

Bill: Good Lord, those are some questions worth pondering. I wish I could come up with something, but of all the subjects on which I’ve had opportunity to educate myself, reality TV shows are close to rock bottom of where my effort has went. I am Sergeant Schultz…I know nothing…
