Obama Gets the Finger in Russia, Same for Mitt Romney in Video From Democrats

November 28th, 2011 No comments

OK so President Obama gets the finger from a Russian TV newscaster.  So with RealTVCritics.com believing in equal time for getting the middle finger, how about flipping the bird to a candidate on the Republican side to a guy that would like to replace Mr. Obama?

Why not, you say!  It certainly is more fun that doing a story about a bunch of stanky old men who like to molest little boys or even stories about the people in college sports programs like the old fart Joe Paterno or soon to be fired Syracuse basketball Jim Boeheim who support pedophiles.

Yeah I could write plenty of those stories but for now I would just like to have some fun.

Must be something in the water in New England.  Those boys up there just go with the wind.  If you thought John Kerry was a political flip flopper you gotta get a hold of one of the most creative commercials ever during an election cycle.

Mitt Romney’s life as the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination is kinda like this commercial running on television.  Once he’s in front, then flips up Herman Cain to change the ranking of Romney.  Then Herman Cain drops like a Tiger Woods mistress after his own touchy feely moments with a bunch of blond white women.

Bye bye Herman Cain.

Romney flops back in the lead.

Then comes the Pillsbury Dough Boy in Newt Gingrich.  Conservatives really like him.  Yeah he’s has about 8 wives, 24 mistresses and none of them looked anywhere near like Tiger Woods skanks but give Newt his props.

Newt flips to number one.

Romney flops back to number two.

Now back to the commercial which is about to ruin whatever Mitt Romney has left. Which ain’t much.  In less than two minutes you’ll see a compilation of what he supports one day and what he supports the next day.  Unfortunately for Mitt it’s all about the same issue.

This is incredible editing.  Mitt gets the finger in this commercial.  In many ways.

A Russian Television Career Ended, Reporter Gives President Obama The Finger

November 28th, 2011 No comments

So dumb.  So flipping dumb.  A top newscaster on Russia’s REN TV, Tatyana Limanova, just ended her career.  This news announcer was reading a story that included the President of the United States.  Yeah Barack Obama.  And one middle finger from this moron probably halted her career so fast that nothing or no one can save her.

The network says the finger which was easily seen and easily interpreted in any language, was really intended for her colleagues in the broadcast studio.  Even if it was, the network called her actions “unacceptable” and ‘unprofessional” which is a massive understatement.

Let’s go to the videotape as they say on NBC4 in New York to watch this one.  TV journalism, unfortunately has taken a mighty turn for the worse.  Everywhere.  What person, unless you’re in a third world country, would be dumb enough to do something like this during a newscast?

Quite frankly this newscaster looks like a smart ass as she reads the news stories but this video makes you long for the days when everyone working in TV, even radio, wore suits to work every day.

One again, an unfortunate turn of events for the TV news business even it it’s not here in the United States.

‘Occupy LA’ Getting Put Out Now, Miley Cyrus Drops ‘Occupy LA” and Everywhere Video

November 27th, 2011 No comments

Sunday night at midnight was supposed to be the deadline for those involved in Occupy LA demonstrations as police came in to remove the Los Angeles version of Occupy OA.  Cops in riot gear pushed them back off of city sidewalks.

Occupy LA is pretty much being dismantled.  But there could be more tension as tents that were supposed to be removed.  Three persons were detained for throwing objects at police.

In the meantime Hannah Montana is certainly growing up isn’t she?  Miley Cyrus probably would like to take that character that made her pretty much who she is today is getting far, far away from being the cute little girl singing and dancing on The Disney Channel and getting her brand involved in supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement that has not only taking place here in the United States but the Occupy protests taking place across the world.

The performer has now released her own video and song in support of the effort of Occupy where regular, everyday people are protesting against the lack of any government in any country to provide jobs and a good economy so that we can all get back to making the same bucks we used to make a few years ago.  A few years ago meaning that things in this country and globally were better a few years back which kinda tells you how things suck pretty much today.

YouTube Preview Image

It’s A Liberty Walk is a compilation of all demonstrations taking place worldwide.  It features the protesting and the clashes with police.

Is Miley going to head down to Wall Street to join the protestors.  Not.  And quite frankly most people who are protesting probably have no clue as to who is Miley Cyrus.  Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie are perfect to join since they pretty much need the public relations effort.

Anyway the video is below for your viewing.

No Pro Basketball, Not on Thanksgiving Night? Finally a Deal, Lockout Ends

November 27th, 2011 No comments

OK so for the record at a certain point I brought myself to the reality that having no NBA games to watch on television was OK.  But after this holiday, after consuming a lot of turkey, stuffing and very expensive scotch, Thanksgiving night came along and the tradition of watching at least one pro basketball game, the max of two.

Nothing.  Nothing.  Not one game.  No LeBron.  No Kobe.  Nothing.

Boomer, Back to Work in NBA's Indiana Pacers

Thanksgiving was a heck of a deadline for the lockout of players in the National Basketball Association.  The loss of NBA games being televised over this holiday is a huge public relations nightmare for the NBA.  Huge.  Holidays as Thanksgiving and Christmas as is watching every team play a daytime game on Martin Luther King’s Monday holiday is nothing more that fantastic.

Losing Thanksgiving night games is a disaster for the NBA.  There may not be the return of any interest in the NBA at expected levels until the league gets past this supposed 62 game season and the 2012-2013 season of a full 82 game season begins.

But no matter what there is Christmas.  The league is expected to broadcast three national television games that day to get the season back on track.  And today no matter what the time-out cheerleaders look like as seen in the photo, it may be a long time before this big basketball fan comes back to watching NBA games as I have in the past.

Greed is not good.  When people fight over millions of dollars while the regular rank and file is struggling it takes a minute to get back to supporting a bunch of rich, spoiled basketball players and team owners who today want to make money rather than seeing the ownership of an NBA franchise as an ego builder.   But I, like a lot of sports fans, like the NBA for the sport of the game.  But it’s going to take a minute.  A long minute.

Expected & Projected, J. R. Martinez, Karina Smirnoff Win ‘Dancing With the Stars’

November 23rd, 2011 No comments

So was there any other outcome?  Nope.  As expected and projected, no other couple had America standing behind them during the finale of the ABC smash series Dancing With the Stars than actor/war veteran J.R. Martinez and his partner Karina Smirnoff.

Karina Smirnoff and J.R. Martinez, Season 13 Winners on 'Dancing With the Stars'

The couple walked away with the grand prize after Season 13 concluded as J.R. and Karina took home the title.  “I want to say you (Karina) are amazing,” said Martinez of his partner on Dancing With the Stars for the last 10 weeks of competition.  “You are amazing and I’m so grateful that I was able to be part of your first mirror ball trophy.  Thank you very much.”

Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke picked up second place on Dancing With the Stars while Ricki Lake and Derek Hough came in third.

You can check out the link below for more details on Dancing With the Stars Season 13 finale.

The Roots ‘Questlove’ Smacked by Jimmy Fallon After Diss of Michele Bachmann

November 22nd, 2011 No comments

So Lou Dobbs introduction song on Jimmy Fallon’s late night show from The Roots was Illegal Alien from Genesis.  Lou has said some interesting comments about the immigration issue during his time on CNN.  Kathie Lee Gifford got Red Red Wine since she’s a regular red wine drinker when she sits next to Hoda Kotb when they host the Today Show on NBC.

OK not bad so far right.

Keith Olbermann was greeted by the Philly band The Roots with I Miss You from Klymaxx.

Still OK, ya think?  Even if MSNBC fired Olbermann and The Roots get paid by NBC.

'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' bandleader Ahmir Khalib Thompson aka "Questlove"

Enter Michele Bachmann.  Oh my.  Her position on, well just about every topic has pissed off a lot of liberals and when she appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, she was brought on stage with the music from Fishbone’s 1985 tune Lyin’ Ass Bitch.

OK maybe not the song you’d pick to introduce any person running for President even if it is Michele Bachmann whom I personally think is crazy and psychotic but if I’m going to blog about the trailer trash booing Michele Obama, I have to give the same support to Michele Bachmann.

Gotta be fair and a bad decision by The Roots.  Bandleader Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson apologized for his selection of the song saying “The show was not aware of it and I feel bad if her feelings were hurt.”

Yeah, righto there Questlove.

Jimmy Fallon when made aware of the song selection Tweeted that Questlove “was grounded” and the Bachmann campaign just shrugged it off as most conservatives feel NBC and its news properties are in the back pocket of this current White House.

And the show must go on right?  Yet I still think Michelle Bachmann is a nut.

“I do, I don’t, I will, I won’t!” Finally Ali Fedotowsky, ‘Bachelorette’ Boyfriend Roberto Martinez Split

November 22nd, 2011 No comments

In the who really cares department let’s say a lot of people really care because Ali Fedotowsky is probably one of the best remembered contestants on the ABC reality show The Bachelorette.  Part of her claim to fame is the on again off again on again off again on again off again wedding to Roberto Martinez that was set to happen three times yet, of course this being reality television, nothing happened.

Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez

Seems there won’t be a fourth time for Ali Fedotowsky or Roberto Martinez as the couple have finally called it quits.  Fedotowsky has already moved out of the home the two shared in San Diego and is not taking the split very well.  “She’s actually really upset,” a friend told Us Weekly about her current position.  Another person close to the couple said “they haven’t been well for along time.”

Apparently the starts and stops were not attributed to Ali Fedotowsky’s work schedule nor her kick boxing injury.  Seems they just don’t get along very well which is standard for reality television.

“Their either extremely happy or they can’t stand each other,” said a person close to the couple.

Sounds like a marriage made in hell.

Tragic Cost of Reality TV, Cops Look for Missing Mom from ‘The People’s Court’

November 22nd, 2011 No comments

You can always say “no.”  Once again you can always say “no.”  But some people are just too plain dumb and stupid, thinking that this will be their 15 minutes of fame or even thinking that they’re smart enough to outsmart the judge in a court of law.

Been there, tried that, let me say this for the record.  If you think you’re going to outsmart any TV judge or one that doesn’t have a syndicated television show you are sorely mistaken.

Michele Lee Parker may have made the biggest mistake of her life by agreeing to try her case on The People’s Court.  She felt “humiliated” by the experience and now the 33 year old mother of three who exposed her whole life on a daytime judge show is missing.  Her late model Hummer was found on the west side of Orlando which is the last place authorities can place Parker.

She had a violent relationship with her former boyfriend who was the plaintiff in the case on The People’s Court but he apparently is not a suspect in the case of the missing woman.  They battled over a missing engagement ring that she said she lost during a fight.  The show aired on national television last week.

For the last time, for the very last time, people who go on any reality show including shows like The People’s Court need to evaluate the effect such a stupid move will have on their life and lives of their families.

Is This Fiat Commercial Too Hot for American Television?

November 21st, 2011 No comments

The Fiat 500 Abarth is not going to be available until mid year 2012 but the commercial released by the company during the Los Angeles Auto Show that started this past weekend started the new marketing direction for the brand.

Now personally the Abarth is nothing for someone over 6 feet all.  It’s small, compact and may not fit in the realm of past Fiat philosophies as in “Fix It Again, Tony” but why the chatter over whether United States broadcast outlets may walk away from running the commercial is a bit much.

Watch it for yourself.  As part of the two media days where this commercial was launched, most in the audience applauded the creativity of the content and at least this writer felt no need to ban it from any domestic network.

Take the ad money I say.  Not like the advertising business is gangbusters this year.  Meaning that any network that turns down this commercial is a foolish network.

Judge for yourself.
