Pizza Hut
So yesterday I got in a bit late but I caught the last hour of Raw and then some. While I was watching it, I was introduced to a brand new commercial for Pizza Hut. Now, don’t mistake my eventual usage of swear words, I do, indeed, like me some Pizza Hut, however, this night I was taken aback by the sheer dumbassishness of the commercial, one of those commercials where they say the people who are acting in the commercial are real people, not actors (which can be realisticly argued since they look like complete prawns and dipshits molded like putty in the hands of the people paying them; actors would do this less obviously), despite the fact that they are acting. I was watching the commercial and thinking to myself, “Do they really have no fucking clue how retarded this shit is?” Then it occurred to me that they don’t, thus the reason for this column. See, the thing is, if they recognized the stupidity of it, surely they would change it, as making a necessary change in such a circumstance is just good business model; so, clearly they either don’t see how it might make someone like me irritated, or they do see this, but it doesn’t matter because they know that most people will just accept it and follow the induced urge to eat chicken wings at Pizza Hut. I mean, they did look pretty damn good. __________ Last edited by FutureDonkey; 10-07-2009 at 01:01 PM. |

Just a few quick thoughts:
When WWE says 'powerful' in reference to the Divas, I think they mean strong physically. You could've expanded this even more and given each superstar more than a sentence when you gave the divas a whole paragraph. And there were a couple grammatic mistakes, such as words being left out. But I enjoyed it none the less, good work.

You finally made "the Leap'; you used your unique style, yet toned down the obscurity and absurdness so that most will get it.
I had this same exact feeling, on the same exact night, on the same program; one Mike Mizanin beat Kofi Kingston for the US Title. Just like you, I know wrestling is fake, but that's what makes it so special; it's so fake yet can still illicit these responses from us is the best thing. I sat there last night and said "Yes, my boy finally did it'. I have been touting the Miz since Tough Enough, so to see him win his first singles title was like the end of a chapter, but hopefully it will not be the end of the book of the Miz; I know there's still more to come. This is why, no matter how bored or sucky wrestling gets, I will always watch, for that feeling. Great job FD. BTW, those wings suck. |

This was really good.
You pointed out all the shit that i despise from the 'E. You verbalize my hate for the crap that is shove down my throat. But at the end, with your HBK example, you make me remember why i'm addicted to wrestling. Thank you |

Haha, I couldn't agree with you more!
Like Joe said, I think this was your true 'breaking out" column as you seem to have all the basics down to succeed. Now, whether you do or you don't is all up to you but you've got some serious potential in my eyes. Awesome format, and awesome flow. Watch out for little errors like "wreslters" and you're good! |

Muuuuuuch better. You switched up the style, tryed something different and entertained the hell out of me. I finally understand one of your colums 100%, and consequently I feel it was the best one you've produced yet. Entertaining from start to finish, and with your own personal touch added to good effect.
Great job sir, keep up the good work.

Phoenix Rising
Thanks man, I'm glad you liked it; I fucking hate it when I drop words like that. Uncle Joe Maybe it is, maybe it isn't; of course, you would actually know, I wouldn't. Yeah, we both had one of those moments and it is great to see that we still can have those moments, because if we couldn't, I don't know why wrestling would be worth watching. steve bullshit Dude, I fucking love that name. Anyway, it's great to see that our thoughts are so in line. I often feel the same way about wrestling, and then there are those aforementioned "moments" that pull me back in. Super Chrisss But I thought "wreslters" was how you spelled it correctly. ![]() We'll see if I can keep it up. Freeman Awesome that I finally don't have you scratching your head. LimeFlavored Your left thumb is epic. __________________________________________________ ______________ A Letter To Jesus & Co. __________ Hey, what’s up guys? Listen, I heard that the three of you all recently married each other in one of those new “triad marriages,” so once I got your mailing address (from one of my Negro friends; forgive me Father, for I have sinned) I decided that rather than send each of you individual letters, I’d just send one letter for all of you to enjoy as one big happy family. I hope you’ll help me out, because I’m getting to the point in my life where having illicit sex with prostitutes (Negro prostitutes, usually; forgive me Father, for I have sinned) seems to be a wise decision, a decision which will kill me because of the AIDs (which though hast sent upon the Negroes for their sinfulness), but will feed my wife and kids with the insurance money. Things are very difficult for me now, and I know that you three are the only ones that could help me out of this delicate rub. __________

Glad you enjoyed, homie. I legit feel bad for Haas, myself. Don't expect anything more to be added to this endeavor. I'm not giving up, not by a long shot; however, I have realized that I'll just burn myself up if I'm not careful. Everyone can look forward to The Salvation of Bambi very soon. |

Dude, don't even fucking start. You watch these commercials, and you see awful, boring, shitty acting. Me? I see those commercials that I SHOULD BE GETTING, knowing i can do better, being in the same career, and somehow these talentless hacks are getting all the breaks.
But anyway, columnwise this was solid, you stayed on point long enough with each one to give it relevancy, until you went into the multitudes of examples and one-liners (which you were entitled to do, it proved your point that so many superstars are at fault, so kudos) And it was generally quite entertaining to read. Good stuff, hombre. EDIT: shhiiiit, motherfuckers have got to stop adding to columns with replies... i didn't read the letters shit! Ugh. |

Comical read there, Donkey. It didn't seem to have a point, but niether does Charlie Haas. You did manage to sum up Charlie Haas' problems in the last sentence.

You're getting better and better. Both of these columns (?) were thoroughly enjoyable, but cut Hass some slack! I will say, though, that the first entry was verging on redundant with the whole 'watching it as a fan thing'. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next.

I shall be dividing your columnal feedback into three neatly organized paragraphs, thus mimicking your own personal three neatly organized paragraphs. Paragraph 1: Chill, dude, chill Paragraph 2: Thanks man, I'm thrilled you're impressed with my writing evolution. Personally, I felt the one-liners were a good move to make so that I could pound out my reaction to the real (lol) world of wrestling in a more powerful fashion. I'm not Mexican and neither are you; never say "hombre." Paragraph 3: Again... Chill. Bubble Butt Great to see that you found it was a fun little read. Truth is, this Haas column was just a throwaway and I had it down in like half an hour; my real shizzle was "Pizza Hut." Andy Yeah, I was a bit worried my first column (?) (what the fuck, it was a column, don't give me any of that question mark nonsense) would be too redundant, but hey, I tried. I'm glad you enjoyed my stuff this time around. Peace out y'allzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................. ................ EDIT: That ^ last bit reeked of a ghaytasm. |

Quite true, I'll admit. I mean, just because I'm a thoroughly un-constipated white dude, doesn't mean that I can't chow down on some extremely spicy Indian curry. Thank you for your highly valuable posting skills.
