I desperately want to be outwardly annoyed with Chuck Lorre's vanity cards. For those of you who don't watch television obsessively like I do, at the end of all TV shows by Chuck Lorre Productions, Chuck Lorre writes a note that flashes on the screen for less than a second. If you want to read it you have to force your tivo do fast forward, go back, go slow, go back acrobatics until you get to that exact third of a second. To see some samples you can go here, or you can
just skip them totally after my ringing endorsement.
The whole thing is ridiculous. So ridiculous, it could be called ridic.* I find his ravings to be self-important and sometimes boring and occasionally stupid in a brow-furrowing, should-I-waste-the-time-to-read-that-again-so-I'll-understand kind of way.
But it occurs to me that this is a perfect description of this blog. So I guess that means I have to keep my mouth shut.
If it is called a vanity card
I had in mind it wouldn't be hard
To understand that it's vacuous and vain
And abstain from doing it again.
* I really like the "word" ridic because it is, in itself, a bit ridiculous. But sometimes something is so inane that you really have to hit others over the head with the ridiculousness of it. And so was born ridic.
