Fox & Friends Needs A Reality Check

"Fox and Friends" is mostly known for being spoofed on Saturday Night Live in expert fashion for their constant falsehoods and crazy statement, but they've just taken their latest to a new level.

On Friday morning, they critizized NBC's "Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together" concert which aired later that night. They wondered whether it was all a ploy by NBC to help out President Obama. They also questioned why it was before the election and not after. Gee, maybe because people need HELP right NOW? These benefit concerts air every time there is a major disaster...but because "Fox & Friends" is so ridiculous and so obsessed with the election, they of course had to make themselves look like complete idiots.

I'm pretty sure when I watched Jon Bon Jovi perform, he didn't yell "vote Obama!" into the microphone. And I'm pretty sure there were no political ads, just stories showcasing the devastation and people who are in need. All the artists had ties to the areas. Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen are New Jersey staples. Mary J Blige is from Yonkers, NY, Christina Aguilera was born in Staten Island. Aerosmith spent a lot of time in New York City, though their career kicked off in Boston. Billy Joel is another New York staple.

Get a grip "Fox and Friends," maybe you should have your own benefit and actually do some good like NBC did.

Rush Limbaugh Is Insane

Its pretty much always been a given that Rush Limbaugh is insane. Apparently he must be hitting the pills again. He said that the villain Bane (Tom Hardy) in The Dark Knight Rises, is named because of Bain Capital and it's part of a pro-Obama agenda. Anyone who listens to Rush Limbaugh's radio show is a complete moron. Meanwhile, he called the people who will see this movie "Brain-dead".

The character of Bane was first created in 1993; The Dark Knight Rises was written in 2008 & 2009. Apparently the creators time-traveled to 2012 according to Limbaugh. By the way, Limbaugh is increasingly looking like Batman villain Solomon Grundy. I wish Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) would go kick his ass with those steel heels. It wouldn't be hard since he's too fat to run away.

Anyway, Rush Limbaugh is a fuck-face. I'm wondering now if the only reason Limbaugh says these crazy things is to get publicity and tap into the "insane" demographic. Its nice that someone can say stupid things and have a cushy job...I should try it.

In an update, Chris Nolan has commented after being asked about it. Nolan said, "I’m not sure how to address something that bizarre, to be honest. I really don’t have an answer for it. It’s a very particular comment to make." Morgan Freeman also responded, calling it "ridiculous" and saying, "Chris wrote a fictional story that didn’t have any political thoughts in mind, so it’s like art or something you know, it’s all in the mind of the beholder." 

And people really need to stop comparing fantasy/action/adventure films with politics in general.
