I've Got An Idea...
Let's all start sucking on Johnnie Carson's dick? Howard Stern nails it on his show today when he calls out Jay Leno for being a massive hypocrite for doing a solemn tribute show...Leno, of course, being the guy who finagled Carson's job, getting him to retire early, and not allowing Carson to name his own successor (he would have named Letterman).
I'm not a massive asshole, and I do believe in reflecting and respecting someone once they've passed - but isn't the issue really about how we treat each other while we're LIVING? Stern says that in real life, Carson was a miserable prick, treating people like a-holes, and his self imposed seclusion had as much to do with his own misanthropy as old age. And now all these sycophants, would couldn't lift a phone in real life to get in touch with their good friend, talk about how important Johnny was to them, what a great man, and all this greatest generation nonsense. Frankly, once it was said, it was said....the fact that all these old-time misogynist, racist, WASPs, keeping beating us over the head with their Greatest Generation bullshit, makes me think it may be a little suspect - that they need this noble, moral authority to feel special because they can't figure out how to work a computer.
Okay, maybe I'm tired or something, cause I'm usually not this grumpy.
