barbara walters is the worst thing to happen to tv
i was watching the view today because i used to sometimes like to watch the view when i was younger. i don’t know why now that i think about it though . . . i think i just liked how meredith viera was always such a bitch about switching topics in the first part and today i missed the first part where they do “hot topics” so the show was more ruined than it is just by being the view. . . so anyway they have kierstie allie on first and talk about how she said ten years ago (actually 13, thanks for counting) that she saw herself as being really skinny ten years from then. she also talked about her coke addiction which was mostly amazing. i know too many people that do cocaine and none of them really attempt to deter me from it in any convincing way. alright. continuing. so then they have some royal scientist on the show (like a political scientist but instead of politix its royal drama) and they’re talking about camilla and charles’ upcoming matrimony. fun. and then meredith asks something stupid and pretty obvious: “is camilla really a nice person who has just been maligned by the media?” like what the hell. cos the media cares when people do the meanness work for themselves? and the RS said “no she’s nice.” and barbara walters is like “AUGH I’VE MET HER! SHE’S REALLY FUCKING NICE! AUGH! I’M BARBARA WALTERS! AUGH!” and i remembered immediately what sucks so much about Barbara Walters. Not that I hadn’t noticed in the first 8 seconds of the show itself (her face!) but then later there were a bunch of wives of UN delegates in the crowd and she was speaking to them and she was like “i’d like to introduce to you a lot of women who have probably never had a chance to see the view . . .” right barbara. like you’re sick face doesn’t permeate every fucking tv in every goddamn country. especially the rich diplomats. oi.
matt, i’d like to nominate barbara walters to your wall of shame. twice.
