So just a few minutes ago, on the always-reliable Today Show, Meredith Viera posed as an obnoxious, obstinate McDonald's clerk -- hassling anyone and everyone who pulled up to the drive-thru speaker -- as part of the show's new "Today Gets a Laugh" segment.
Right. Because there's nothing funnier than a millionaire TV star fucking with the guy who just got off a 7-dollar-an-hour shift at the Stop & Shop and wants nothing more than to get his Big Mac and go home.
Oh yeah, and that was followed by an interview with Jodi Sweetin, who admitted that A) she was satellite-high the last time she was on tour boasting about kicking drugs (but, you know, this time you can, like, trust her, since she's got a book to sell and all), and B) she was drinking and doing drugs while pregnant with her 18-month-old daughter (a revelation that was followed up with nothing more than a perfunctory, "Well, gee, that's interesting," from Matt Lauer -- as opposed to the immediate phoning of child services).
Man, every time I need a quickie topic to write about -- something to frustrate, infuriate, confuse, or otherwise leave me wanting to crawl into a bottle at 7am -- there's the Today Show, like some kind of gift from God.
