Fighting The De-Dudification Of TV
Like the saint that he is, our founding editor spent last weekend slaving away in front of the computer and attending to the myriad obligations that go with being a parent on Halloween weekend.
One of which is diligently evaluating your kids’ candy.
On most Saturdays and Sundays, though, you can find Sic Willie “embedded” on a sofa watching college and professional football in glorious high definition on his prize 55″ flat screen TV – with one hand wrapped around an ice cold beverage and the other hand alternating back and forth between his salted nuts and, well, his “other” nuts.
Chhyeah!
He’s a “man’s man,” in other words.
Of course playing pocket pool to the soothing strains of Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson notwithstanding, Sic’s “man credentials” pale in comparison to those of Steve V. – our official “man-visor” here at FITS. For those of you unfamiliar with Steve’s work, he achieved a certain level of infamy recently in commenting on a story we did last month about Florida quarterback Tim Tebow’s concussion.
“He really didn’t have a concussion, he started his period on the field,” Steve said of Tebow’s injury. “Sand somehow found its way into his vagina and became infected. (Florida head coach) Urban Meyer is down there now, doing what he can to get it all out.”
Awesome!
Steve V., everybody.
Anyway, with America continuing a steady descent into (faux) reality TV hell, we figured who better to turn to in our effort to restore some semblance of spermatic balance to the boob tube than “the man” himself …
Here are a list of shows that grind my gears in no particular order….
Jon and Kate, the duggars, project runway, any housewife show, the hills, anything on VH1, top chef, property ladder, anything that has to do with baking cakes (I mean really? a whole show about cakes?) any dancing show, trading spaces … anything with little people, whatever show that is on Bravo right now with this gay dude crying, he flips houses, don’t know or care what the name is. Thats about it. I reserve the right to add more as I see fit!
Asked if we could use his list, Steve V. graciously obliged, provided we added “toddlers and tiaras, King of the crowns or whatever (and), The Bachelor(ette).”
FITS News and Steve V. – fighting the “de-dudification” of television one sh*tty show at a time!

Phineas and Ferb are a couple of cool young dudes.

The list didn’t come from Steve V.; it came from my wife’s DVR ‘TO TAPE’ list. I resent you or Steve coming into my home and stealing my wife’s TV viewing habits. Knock it off.

I LOVE Phineas and Ferb, but don’t think it should be a childrens show.
As for Sic and his manvisor, Steve, they will do as they’re told…..

Old relatives once told me that when TV first appeared in their area in the later-1940s there were three hours of pro-’rasslin on at night (I guess as cheap filler). Ah those post-WWII days, when America was at the very top, why testosterone must have practically run in the streets.
