And then TV Take-ith Away

.
Just when I thought "The Cougar" was the nadir of television and civilization, television has lowered the bar yet again.  (Although not civilization - the fact we live in a world where "The Cougar" doesn't have her children put in protective care is scarier than Kim Jon Il.)
.
"I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here" is the latest "must see" television on NBC.  
.
How bad is it?
.
It is so bad, that the two contestants above, Lew Diamond Phillips and Patti Blagojevich, are the ones to root for.  Really.  Patti Blagojevich.
.
And jungle fever has set in really early.  Last night was oddly disturbing as some psycho (for those of you how don't know or care who Spencer and Heidi are (or "Spidi" as the tabloids have called them)) this psycho couple quit, rejoined, quit, rejoined, screamed at people, knocked things out of their hands, got about 2 inches away from a older woman's face as he screamed, and then prayed for Governor Blagojevich to have the truth told and his day in court.
.
Really.
.
If people in space are watching our TV, this would convince them there is no intelligent life on the planet.

Pushing Daisies - cancelled.
