Love Your Selfie????

TODAY.com

The TODAY Show is running this odd thing called 'Love Your Selfie.' People are taking selfies and telling themselves how much they love [themselves].

Can you believe that Americans need MORE encouragement to love themselves???? They say that people spend an average of 55 minutes a day, primping. Yes, that poll must have been limited to America. I can't imagine that happening in the jungle of Bolivia or in the Ukraine.

As my husband says,  'We are so Rome.'

That would be ancient Rome, before the fall, you know.

Do they really think I want to know how Matt Lauer feels about his body imperfections.

Where on earth did they come up with this idea??

I'm Leaving the TODAY Show

 

Is there anyone out there who doesn't already know that it snowed on the east coast?


I had a long-standing habit of getting up, grabbing my cup of coffee, and turning on the TV so I could watch the first 15 minutes of the TODAY Show to get the news. What was I thinking? Over the past few years the TODAY Show has morphed into The National Enquirer or some other equally unsavory tabloid found at every grocery checkout.

Today, the top story, I kid you not, was about a ski lift that crashed (on the east coast, of course). No one was killed; no one was seriously injured. I couldn't believe that there was nothing more noteworthy in the entire world than Chatty Kathy standing next to her silent boyfriend telling us in that 'oh my gosh' tone of voice about their close shave with death as they hovered 6 feet above the ground. (This is while other people around the globe are struggling to survive poverty and disease, earthquakes and floods.)

After the ski lift story we were back in Brooklyn, where streets still aren't cleared from the greatest snowfall they've had in years, maybe ever, so people were angry at the government (the same government to which they earlier had sold their souls because they didn't want to do anything for themselves, including think!) for not having the streets plowed - like NOW.

People have become so unreasonable. Ridiculously unreasonable.

I'm tired of the TODAY Show never giving us real news anymore. All I had wanted was the first 15 minutes devoted to real news. Was that too much to ask??

So I'm taking the little TV out of the kitchen cupboard to make room for my mom's Christmas dishes.

So long, TODAY Show. Do you wonder why your viewership has plummeted??
