Condescending Crybabies

Welcome to the 150th post of Thinking Hard! By this time, Andy and his expectant wife are back in the U.S. of A. So, welcome back, Andy and V!!!

You know what I have difficulty putting up with? People who think they're far better at their job than they really are. You know the people I'm talking about...those who would be gazillionaires if they were paid in self-worth instead of a yearly salary. Those who come into work late, leave early and expect others to do the bulk of the work for them. I'd like to take a moment to focus on one of them now...Megan Fox. You know this chick from...well, I guess mostly just the Transformers movies and that shitty horror flick she did...what was it, "Jennifer's Body" or something like that? Anyway, you can expect to see this trashy-looking chick in MORE shitty movies because she has officially bitten the hand that fed her. Yes, Fox apparently ripped on Transformers director Michael Bay after the second film. Check out what she had to say and make the call for yourself:

"He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward."

If I may, that's really a backhanded end to that statement. That's basically saying "Well, he's a total dick on the set, but get him away from the set and he's socially hopeless." The crew of the film then released an open letter condemning Fox's statement, calling her the "grump of the set" and "thankless, classless and graceless." (Though, let's be serious...how much grace does she really need to make a pouty face on cue, scream for Shia LeBouf and pose in her undies in Maxim) Look, here's my take...I work behind the scenes in television. I know I can be difficult to work with. But that feeling STARTS with the a-holes who come into work and act like I haven't done a damn thing until they've walked in. I realize those people aren't watching me like a hawk to see what I do all day, but c'mon...how about a LITTLE credit?? Same for you, Megan...you might want to take a look at your attitude on set to see if there's anything YOU can do to improve the atmosphere before ragging on your director. Sure, you SAY you've decided not to be a part of Transformers 3...I'd wager they were halfway through filming before you even HEARD about a third movie. Although, with that attitude, I'm sure we could find you a high-ranking job in a newsroom somewhere...

Speaking of vapid news people, I LOVE when they're caught on camera doing something stupid. It generally means their lips start moving BEFORE they think about what they're about to say...like this (trust me, it's worth waiting for the end of the clip):



(Also, when did THIS start being classified as NEWS? They might as well have done some bullshit fluff piece about a NASCAR Hall of Fame opening...which qualifies INSTANTLY as "fluff.")

Hey, you know who likes to read? Pretty much anybody BUT the cast of MTV's "Jersey Shore." So it only makes sense, that the Jersey Shore...ers are coming out with a book of QUOTES from the show! Y'know, just in case you forget such classics as "I'm gonna fuck ya motha right in front a ya if ya don't get yo face outta my face" and "So what? I'll hit a fockin' chick!" I'd kinda like to see it outsell Palin's book.

Hey, I pushed a NASCAR through a "pit" this week. Check it out at this link!

Are you looking for a new job? Well, there's hope. If THIS kid could eventually find a job working at a Texas TV station, then news site, ANYONE can get hired (yes, this IS the "Boom Goes The Dynamite" kid):



You can find him at the Waco City Buzz Examiner.

Hey, stay tuned for the program immediately following Thinking Hard:



Just goes to show you don't need a brain to be on TV.
