(now I'm in the mood for some RAWBERRY!!!)
Optimus Prime supports POWERTHIRST:
Now, here's the video I was really meaning to post. I hope it doesn't frighten anyone too much...and my apologies for having to tarnish my lily white blog with something as base as The View.
Let me just get this out there: Oh...my...god.
Other than the conversation itself, what really killed me is that the audience chuckled when Whoopi asked, "Is the world flat?" People thought she was making a joke, apparently, because that seems to most people to be such a silly question...though sadly her co-host did not get the memo. Sherri Shepherd then goes on to try to make a point; some bizarre, twisted point that it is not of her concern whether or not the world is flat, because she needs to worry about more important things, such as how to feed her child.
Now, let me attempt to work with this logic. Mrs. Shepherd believes that the scientifically proven fact that the world is round is irrelevant to her, because there are more immediate concerns in her life, such as the welfare of her son. That would be understandable (to a degree); however, she is a co-host on a national syndicated TV show. What, is this paycheck not enough to ensure that you can feed your child? Good lord, how much does he eat?! This woman probably makes more in one year than my father does in three...but whatever, either way. She is clearly doing well enough right now, so one would think she'd have a little bit of time on her hands mulling over the earth's shape...not that there's much to mull over, seeing as there are photographs from freakin' space showing its shape. Sherri obviously has had the time, though, to think about evolution, so wouldn't you think that somewhere along the line, she'd think about an earth...a round one?
Alright, suppose we'll let it pass that as of recently, she hasn't had the chance to mull over the shape of the planet that she lives on. What about in elementary school, where we learned this? I certainly hope she wasn't worried about whether her son was going to eat then. So, with the child out of the picture, she's at school, learning about the planets and the solar system. Inevitably, one has to draw the solar system...but how did she draw the planets?
Perhaps she drew them like this:
(my apologies for the tiny, tiny text...but you get the idea)
Now, that's more than a little scary if she got away with drawing the planets as colored lines for her entire academic career. Didn't some teacher, somewhere, notice that her planets weren't colored circles like everyone else's? Didn't some teacher, somewhere, say, "Sherri, don't you know that planets are round?" Didn't some teacher, somewhere, say, "Sherri, you're an idiot?" Apparently not...either that, or she just recently adopted the idea of the flat earth theory, and I hear there's a cult for it out there somewhere.
But really, in all seriousness, the point that she's trying to make is rather disturbing: she's too busy playing housewife to pay attention to known science. Is that why she refutes evolution? She's too busy scrapping for food with her six-figure paycheck to pay attention to modern science? I don't want to attack any non-evolutionists personally, so I'll just leave it at this: Sherri Shepherd is a very, very bad representation of you.
My conclusion? Whoopi is way too smart to be on that show. I suggest that the new View host be Britney Spears. Now that I would watch.
