What We Let Into Our Homes

Pet Peeve of the Day: Entertainment Weekly. I’m a subscriber, and when I got the latest issue in the mail yesterday, I couldn’t believe my eyes. There’s Kiera Knightly, her backside all exposed and covered with Oscar writings, and James McAvoy, canoodling in the rain, all sexy-like. Hey, EW, when did you enter the soft porn business?? I don’t need that kind of thing in my house. Heck, I keep my EWs in the bathroom for some light library readin’, if you know what I mean, and now for the next week I have to look at Kiera staring at me all come-hither like while I’m brushing my teeth? Who could put up with that? And McAvoy – what’s he lookin’ at? He ain’t lookin’ at her face, I tell ya that. He’s lookin’ down. Hey, McAvoy, there ain’t nothin’ to see down there! Really, there’s nothing to see down there. That’s Kiera Knightly.
I can’t believe EW is peddling this stuff, in a shameless attempt to sell more magazines. I don’t have kids in the house, but what if I did? I would have to explain how frolicking around half-naked in the rain leads to pregnancy and drugs and tattoos and motorcycles and brussels sprouts and all that, and no adult wants to give that speech and no kid wants to hear it. It’s just another nail in the coffin of polite society, thanks to Hollywood and those who report on it.
I have half a mind to write EW a letter. But first, I have to go… ummmm… put the magazine in the bathroom. Catch you tomorrow.
Latre.

Ooooo, I bet you’ll be hearing from the pro-tattoo-and-brussels-sprout parents about this entry. We don’t need EW to help us raise our children!

I never figured out how people have time to read on the toilet, until I realized most don’t eat very much fiber…
Anyway, my wife puts calendars in the toilet. So you think this Kira chick is bad for a week – try having Napoleon Dynamite staring at you for a full year…

I’m working my way through that issue as well. It’s tough to read all the insightful entertainment news when they keep insisting on running pictures of scantily clad stars.
