If you have been alive in the last few days, you have undoubtedly seen the following clip that shows outraged hosts of The View, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, got so upset with guest, conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly, after he said that Muslims killed Americans on 9/11. Many have been outraged by this and say that the co-hosts actions were uncalled for. However, I have personal experience on trying to get through to "the crazies," as I call them (I do live in Illinois south of I-80 after all) and therefore can completely understand the situation that Joy and Whoopi were put in. Bill O'Reilly refused to acknowledge that yes, while the terrorists who happened to kill Americans on September 11, 2001 did happen to be Islamic, they also happened to be extremist. Now, while that may seem like a petty argument to some on the right who would back up O'Reilly no matter what, let me put it into this perspective for you: this is exactly like saying that John Brown killing the men at Pottawatomie Creek and Harpers Ferry, Virginia was an act that was done by Christians. Both are nothing but offensive and ultimatley untrue. Therefore, despite Bill's lack of manners by way of his starting a yelling match, Joy and Whoopi should be nothing but proud of their positions to simply not let the man that so often uses his media platform to put his spin on his shows so-called, "No Spin Zone," get away with doing it once again. Now, I would also love to hear all of your opinions on this topic so please give me your ideas and comments in the comment section below this posting.



In other celebrity news, (or in this case a sorta kina celebrity) on the count of three let's all say "aww." Ready? One, two, three, "AWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!" Poor Snooki! (which yes, even I am somewhat appalled for having written that) Everyone's favorite Oompa -Loompa is being teased and made fun of... for being fat. While this of course is horrible, (you guys at South Park are jerk-doody-head-meanie-butt-faces!) it does however even get worse. After the episode making fun of the Jersey Shore star was shown on South Park, Snooki was given an offer to become the new spokesperson for an acai berry diet to try to make her become the next Kirstie Ally or Valerie Bertinelli. Now, while to many Snooki appears to be overweight, it is my opinion that this is simply because of her short height and that she doesn't have a need to lose any weight. Furthermore, this issue is not helped by the fact that it has been reported that Snooki struggled with anorexia during her high school years. Therefore, who are the bigger bullies: South Park for making fun of her, or the diet company for trying to make a buck off of it?
This brings me to today's reason that the world is coming to an end. This week the news came out that after violating the terms of his probation by being found carrying a controlled substance, rapper, T.I., was sentenced to eleven months in prison. "Now, why would that be a reason for the world to end J.C.?" you might ask. This is because this news came in the same week that T.I. was heralded as a hero for stopping a man from committing suicide by jumping off of a ledge. Therefore, it would almost appear as though in our modern-day world it means nothing to be a good Samaritan and that nice guys truly do always finish last.
