This may be the most ingenious comedic satire I will ever witness

Who are these writers? And good Lord, they are so underpaid! Honestly, who thinks up this shit? Hey, so we booked Rosie O’Donnell, queen of all that is lesbian chic, modern-eyewear, and gothic inspired clothing to performan on The Late Late Night Show with Craig Ferguson. And you know what? Lets do a Robert Palmert spoof. Lets throw a black dress on Craig and oh yeah, let’s bring in some midgets. Let’s deck ‘em out in the music video garb and throw them on stage beside Rosie O’Donnell and hell--let them rock out the full performance in our opening act! Craig’s pasty white legs on stage during this performance—not a problem!! I mean, really? Who comes up with this shit? And you know what, I will raise my glass in a toast to that man on any given night. It was sheer comedic genius. To all you Ferguson haters out there—how ‘bout them apples?

Dragging your name through the gutter

This afternoon, like any other day, I checked my Facebook account to see what my friends were up to, and get the latest buzz on events/music/etc. I was horrified to find an invite by a certain promoter who will remain nameless berating a woman for her sports views. He created an event specifically for people to add this woman as a friend, and write "boo" on her wall. I was and am horrified. This is so unbelievably unethical, and furthermore, why is it necessary to publicly defame someone?

I sincerely believe that social media needs to be used for good and not evil. I can't even imagine the humiliation and shame that would go along with an experience like this. Mean-spirited content just doesn't have any place in a public forum.
