I Watched TV Today

Today, I watched Anderson Cooper reporting from Haiti due to the tragic earthquake last night. It was a terrible image, and terrible motions that transmit through the screen, that tell of fear and losing control over your own survival, overwhelmingness of the situation and of hundreds of bodies lying in the rubble. Hope for the situation to change but hopelessness that you have any power to change anything, except find alive souls and shout for others to help you get them out. And this will only last days, else the stuck undead will starve and thirst to death.

I hated this guy with his own dumb show, Olly, (it's "Saving History with Olly Steeds") who basically used a single religious question into a travel-around-the-world investigative journey that offends people with his ignorance along the way. Where is the holy ark, the ten commandments that God gave us, now residing?!? Who took it in the war 2500 years ago when some Jews escaped Jerusalem holding this priceless artifact? Did it even make it out? We'll never know! But in case it made it out, let's investigate how it would be possible (Of course it's possible!)
Is it possible to lug the 60 pound object through the tunnel to get past the old city's walls, and then to cross the desert with the Bedouins?? Then go down the Nile? Can you float on the river with the commandments? Can one do it? Can you then hike to this Ethiopian temple and find a dude to dedicate his life to guarding it? Well I'll try this all out and see! And yes, $100,000 later we discover that yes, indeed this is possible. Indeed a Jew or two could have smuggled the ten commandments themselves into Ethiopia, where it is now guarded by a single man in a fenced-in sanctuary who calls himself The Guardian. No modern-day security, sure. Sure it's there. "They didn't let me in with my camera? Then didn't let me in?!? What shit is this? I'm so disappointed I didn't get to see the holy grail of God's relationship with man, the ten commandments tablets. This trip is complete bollocks. We can't even see it through." -Pretty much what he said.
What a bunch of shit and a disrespecful man, this Englishman Olly. He brought his laptop out into the desert and went on it to look up some facts for us watching TV. So we watched him scroll some facts on his laptop. Meanwhile, the small children were gaping at his device, never having seen it before, not knowing what it does and not speaking his language. And I bet he spent more time on it off-camera instead of socializing and respecting the locals who were showing him around and helping him make this show... Who sacrificed a goat in the desert to feed the crew, and offered him the testicles. They were welcoming him, making him feel warm and at home and comfortable, helping him survive in the foreign desert he would inevitably die in, while he browses the internet! On his glorious 2008 silver Mac. Then he expresses his disappointment in not fulfilling all his questions and finding the answer. Find the answer, ha! And he didn't even have all his facts right! He kept referring to Jewish holy men as priests. What a BONER.
Ha! I just looked him up on google and found out this was the PREMIERE, January 13, thank God, I just hope it's his last show. It was terrible and a waste of my time, and all the travel money, emissions, andwasted breath of the interviewees. Sorry you thought your interview would be special on American TV. Not your fault this one was a flop. Olly, you seem like a stuck-up, selfish brat who can smooth-talk his way out of things but ran out of a vocabulary after more than a few sentences. Sorry man, get another job and this show needs to not make it.
