I told the bosses at BN when I was approved for this gig … writing TV features, that is … that I would find inspiring things to write about.<\/p>\n

Beavis and Butt-head<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a truly enlightened duo you know they would go around the world and do go works and leave things better than they found them during that time.<\/p>\n

“Uhhh huhhh hhuuuhhh” … “heeheeeehhheeeeehheeeee” NOT!<\/p>\n

Well, they did go around the world in some kind of movie adventure some years ago, but it was standard B&B fare.<\/p>\n

The difference this time is they catch up with current events and stars, like Lady GaGa and various MTV shows, and comment on them.<\/p>\n

I admit I watched bits and pieces of B&B in its first incarnation and mostly found it to be harmless nonsense.<\/p>\n

I was wrong … very wrong.<\/p>\n

While B&B are not responsible for the ills of this world, and there are many, they sure do reflect them and\/or put a spotlight on them.<\/p>\n

Talk about the dumbing down of America … these two are the perfect example of continuing brain rot in this country.<\/p>\n

People either not voting or voting for who they did in the last presidential election and guessing that everything would be OK either way is a perfect example of that.<\/p>\n

Returning B&B to television is a little like electing Jimmy Carter to be president in 2012 … when what we need is a lot more like Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n
