RELIGIOUS LOONEY TO PROFIT FROM CRIME Jennifer Wilbanks, the wild-eyed wacko better known as the Runaway Bride, has struck a half-million dollar book deal. She appeared on Katie Couric's show, which is on NBC and better known as the No Body Cares Network, to announce the forthcoming tome. The book will be published by Regan Books, a subsidiary of News Corp, which is the parent company of the ultra Conservative Fox News Network. The book will no doubt be promoted furiously by Fox which does likewise for the books written by its newscasters. Sounds like a circle-jerk to me. Regan Books is a pathetic purveyor of pompous poop penned primarily by right wing prigs and, Jennifer Wilbanks, who apparently takes direction from her pastor on all facets of her life, seems to fit into the mold. Now one would think that Conservatives should frown upon this venture since it was facilitated by a crime, but, aha, there's money to be made, so all bets are off. By the way, the official reason given by her for her ridiculous action is that she was afraid that she would not be, "The perfect wife." Oh, and lest we forget, this is the second time she pulled this stunt. She is described as being naive, which roughly translates into, "asshole." I guess her fiance, who describes himself as a "born again virgin," will have to settle for a "perfect asshole" for a wife.

PARENTS DON'T LIKE PARIS Here we go again with another million person march or something or another. In their never ending effort to find someone or something on which to blame poor parenting, the "Parents Television Council," has taken umbrage at the Memorial Day weekend showing of the Car's Jr. TV ad that featured Paris Hilton. These outraged parents are no doubt the same ones who sit around quaffing gallons of beer and booze as they watch their kids gleefully mow down row upon row of digital characters on the family TV via their video consoles. So now they're upset about a gal acting sexy while washing a car and eating a hamburger. Are these the same people who watch "Desperate Housewives," and perhaps engage in the same activity? The PTC has called for a million people to protest the ad, and boycott the burgers. Why a million? Why not 100,00 or 50? I guess a million is a magic number to these numbskulls. Carl's Jr's CEO responded with, "Get a life," to these people, who are now probably wondering just what the hell that means. Visit "The Independent Writer" and have a good laugh on Jim Ippolito |
