While waiting for the Hell's Kitchen finale (best. show. ever) tonight I decided to watch The Moment of Truth...sometimes TV is just fuuucked up. If you're not familiar with the show, it involves a person sitting in a chair and having (the non-funky) Mark Walberg ask them questions which make them squirm. Questions such as (real answers in parens...with pizazz!):
Have you ever cheated on your boyfriend? (no...awww that's cute and almost makes up for answering the next question)
Have you ever woken next to a guy in bed and not know his name (abso-whorely!!!)
Do you think your father is trustworthy? (hell no!)
Have you ever gotten in an accident when you knowingly drove drunk? (who hasn't?)
When working at Hooters did you have have sex with one of your customers? (you better believe it)
Do you blame your father for ruining your childhood? (of course he did)
After answering 21 of these questions correctly (before the show they ask you 50 questions with a lie detector in toe) you get $500k. Good thing it's only you, the host and the audience...ooops! Actually, 5 of your closest family and friends are sitting right in front of you (Mom sure was shocked you about that sex thing).
Believe it or not I'm not here ranting about the content of the show (though it's totally rantable...and I guess I did a little). My beef with this shiny example of the downward spiral of humanity into idiocracy involves the damn commercials. About 30 min in to the show I realized there was a commercial every 7 minutes...and the commercials were 4 min long!!!
Want more commerical douchery?
When returning from commerical they replayed the last 2 minutes of the show leaving the content:commercial ratio was 5:4.
Oh, thank God. Gordon Ramsey is swearing at someone...now that's quality TV.

I have seen that show. The commercial breaks are easily the best part.
