The Soup is one of the best half-hours on television.  Their mockery is brilliant.

I totally agree. I’ve had a TiVo Season Pass set up forever… hilarious.

I don’t get the pricing strategy.  For example, the Girls Next Door complete first season (censored?) is available on iTunes for $18.99 + tax for a low-resolution iPod compatible version.  You can get the complete (uncensored) DVD version on Amazon for 12 cents more and no tax.  Seems a no-brainer to me.

3rd Eye:  Are you serious?  He meant they were 12 cents more in cost.  An additional 12 cents on top of the $18.99 if that makes sense.  It should…

Are you kidding me..The Soup, that show is HORRID. He is not funny at all, seriously, that’s the lamest show EVER. That guy needs to take a look at himself before judging others, he seems like a joke himself.

But yay for The Simple Life..that show is HILARIOUS..well Nicole is :p

Jesse,
You’re actually going to knock The Soup, yet get excited over The Simple Life!?

I’m sorry, but American’s like you are a HUGE part of what’s wrong with this country.  Have you ever thought about the fact that watching shows like The Simple Life only encourages the horribly degrading behavior of people like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.  Providing them with ratings, profit from buying their shows on iTunes, reading the tabloids, etc. is nothing short of telling the youth of america that it’s “Ok” to be idiotic, trashy, egotistical, self-absorbed, and slutty.  What kind of self respect could one possibly have while living their entire adult-hood expecting everything to fall in their laps on a silver platter just because you starve yourself, wear skimpy outfits, and offer yourself up to anyone that pays attention to you.

I’m sure you can find much better things to do with your time then encourage and contribute to our next generation to grow up without morals.

too bad E! doesn’t still have the Stern programs.  I might have downloaded a few of those.

iScott, i didn’t feel like reading your rant. Theirs a difference between enjoying a show, and wanting to be like the people on the show.

nevermind, i did decide to read your rant. Scott i am apart of the american youth, i’m only 15. And last time i checked i’m not “idiotic, trashy, egotistical, self-absorbed, and slutty”. I’m just a teen enjoying a program. It seems that you adults (i’m guessing you are one) seem to overthink things a little too much these days. It’s just entertainment, that’s all. It is the E! Channel after all

I would suggest rereading the post, you seemed to miss the whole point entirely.

What’s the point then, because how i see it, it seems as if your blaming Paris and Nicole for kids doing stupid things, and thinking that they don’t have to work hard to be successful.
