If you haven’t seen IT yet…

The original movie is one of the reasons I am uncomfortable around clowns.  This remake… is why I will continue to be uncomfortable around clowns.

Political correctness continues to go awry…

MTV is replacing its Moonman Trophy, which it gives out for the Video Music Awards, with a Moon Person Trophy.

“As revealed in The New York Times today, MTV president Chris McCarthy has decided that it didn’t make sense for the trophy to be a man, saying, “It could be a man, it could be a woman, it could be transgender, it could be nonconformist.” (avclub.com)

One… what a dumb statement!  It’s a trophy, not a representation of the social climate.  Two… No one cares that it is a “Moonman”, and the ploy to be more modern and stupidly PC still isn’t going to make people care.  I mean… they don’t even play music videos anymore!  Third… it’s actually a JUST space suit in which a man or woman could be in.  The necessary equipment needed in the hostile environment of space is not a declaration of gender… just sayin’.  In the quest to be PC, you just come out looking dumb sometimes.  You can read more about it HERE.

Also… since we are talking about dumb stuff… check out this dumb girl who got a hammer stuck in her mouth…

Apparently it was over a “boy band” conversation… details HERE.
