JONATHAN AMES: I WILL GIVE YOU A TIVO!

I was tickeled pink to learn that after his pleas for help on Twitter, HBO bought our fave BK writer, Jonathan Ames, (who's new show Bored to Death I'm seriously digging), a TV to...uhm...watch his own fucking hit show.

If you thought that most writers who write hit TV shows have their OWN TV's to watch em on, well then I guess yo'd be very fucking wrong.

Anyway.

As you all know, FIPS CARES!

So I just wanted to put it out there, that we here are FIPS are actually willing to take this shit one step further: we will give you a TIVO, Jonathan Ames!

Yes, I'm totally fucking serious!

I want you to have a Tivo of your very own.

We have an extra old Tivo that we're not using, and I think this is *exactly* what you need to take things to the next level with your whole new TV watching life, Jonathan. I will even come over and show your ass how to use the thing!

So yeah...if you wanna watch Dancing With the Stars, and Glee and SYTYCD, and Million Dollar Listing, and Flash Forward, and Modern Family and all that other good shit along with Bored to Death, you best send me an email stat (effedinparkslope at gmail dot com)!

I'm here for you, brotha!

SYTYCD

Ok, so I don't really ask that much of you guys in general, right? I mean I know there is:

*read this stupid fucking blog that is funny like every third day of a leap year

*put up with my intentional bad grammar

*my whining

*my bitching

*my moaning

*my obsesh with Twilight

*etc.

But aside from all that, I'm def a "live and let live" type of gal.

Except there's this one leetle thing.

"Maybe I Don't Want To Eat Dinner in Brooklyn, OK!?"

--Ramona Singer, Real Housewives of NYC

Part One of The Real Housewives of New York City reunion was literally one of the most epic TV events I've ever seen in my life.  Part 2 is on tonight.  I would not miss it if I were you.

WHO GIVES A SHIT: CRAPPY REALITY TV SHOWS

Yet again, our homies on Brooklynian are serving as inspiration (with this thread on bad Bravo TV). So, we've got another simple question: Which craptacular reality TV shows do you watch?

That's it.

Again, answer in the comments (and feel free to go stealth anon if you want some priv-ass-y).

Here are mine:

• Real Housewives (all locales)
• Millionaire Matchmaker
• Tough Love
• Celebrity Rehab
• Sober House
• American Idol
• Real World
• The City
• The Hills
• Make Me A Supermodel
• AND the best reality show on TV PERIOD: So You Think You Can Dance

(note to self: you have a serious fucking problem)

Suck It Chet

If I see one more Real World: Brooklyn cast member wearing a Brooklyn t-shirt, sweatshirt, or zip-up hoodie, I am going to lose my shit.

Example? Chet (my arch-nemesis), wearing that F train subway t-shirt in last week’s episode (even though he and the cast members drive everywhere in a brand-new SUV)? Can we say P-O-S-E-U-R?

Hey, MTV: if you want to show a bunch of self-absorbed dicks what it’s really like to live in Brooklyn, they should be required to take the subway during rush hour, pressed up against someone who hasn’t showered in weeks while the conductor (aka: Queen Latifah) screams about a signal malfunction and implores you to be patient, even though you’ve already been holding your breath for 40 seconds to avoid breathing in the stankonia coming from your new boyfriend, Mr. NoSoap.

Then, and ONLY then, can you wear an F train t-shirt. You can wear it with pride, as it highlights the war wounds and battle scars you’ve gotten just trying to make it the fuck home every day.

(ed note: YEAH!  What she said! Also, Chet: I don't give a fuck what you say...you ARE gay (see pic above)).
