My friend linked to this video on Facebook. Oh CNN. Sigh. Shaking my head. I don’t even want to know how this got on the air. The news day couldn’t have been that slow. It’s so annoying when CNN reports on itself. Like, BREAKING NEWS, some comic just made fun of CNN. Let’s watch the [...]

Just Do Better: CNN

I don’t know what’s going on with CNN lately, but for the following two stories alone, the network gets a big fail, boo, and Do Better. First, we have an update with Michael Jackson’s former chimp, Bubbles on Anderson Cooper’s AC360 show. Yes, this was a real “news” story on AC360. Boo CNN. So this is [...]

In the wake of the death of megastar Michael Jackson, some have tried to take this opportunity to be self-promoting. It might be hard to believe but some taking advantage are some of Michael’s close friends, advisers and his father, Joe Jackson. The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have converged on the Jackson family since [...]

Why Lord? Why? And I saw this mess after watching the BET awards. Straight foolishness. A piece of my soul died after watching BET for 3 1/2 hours last night. The other half wept at this video. Who thought this was OK? Child, boo. Extra boo on you for doing that to yourself.

I haven’t written a Do Better post in a minute. But this story was just crying out to make it into the series. MIAMI (Reuters) – A fight broke out on a Florida bus when news of Michael Jackson’s death sparked debate over whether he should be remembered as a great musical talent, and one [...]

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, just back from a secret trip to Argentina unknown to his staff or his wife, admitted Wednesday he has carried on an extramarital affair with a woman in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “I’ve been unfaithful to my wife,” Sanford told a news conference in Columbia, South Carolina. “I developed a relationship [...]

This mess right here just may make it onto my list of the top foolery moments of ’09. A Jonas Brothers’ song about robbing a bank. With Common on it. Yes, that Common. Give a listen for yourself: If I could take the Jonas Brothers off, it might have been OK. Why was I actually [...]
Do Better: Open Message to Those Who Should Understand How This Thing Called 911 Works – But Clearly Do Not
Posted in Do Better, Foolishness, People Who Should Not Reproduce, tagged call 911, Florida, Food, Foolishness, fort worth, illegal, mcdonalds, oregon, wife called fat on May 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When the woman in Florida called 911 three times over some McDonald’s nuggets in March, I chalked that up to an isolated incident. I mean if you look at Latreasa Goodman’s picture, you can tell that something’s a little off. And the response from the Florida operations manager just added to the story’s foolishness factor: “We [...]
Yup, YouTube is the Devil
Posted in Culture, Do Better, Foolishness, People Who Should Not Reproduce, tagged bad parenting, dancing, kids, YouTube on May 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve heard this sentiment before, and I usually said, YouTube isn’t that bad. Sure a lot of craziness is on there, but where else can you go to see the latest music video or catch an old news clip? I usually treat YouTube like WalMart – I get in, get what I need and get out. [...]
