I really hate that show Entourage. Yet for some reason I still watch it sometimes. It’s like people who watch Jersey Shore just so they have something to hate. A while ago I figured out a way that they could improve it. Here is the pitch. Ari Gold decides to reconnect with his Jewish roots and becomes an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi. Meanwhile Johnny Drama has sunk to a new low and in order to save himself decides to convert to Islam. He finds peace in his new faith and eventually becomes an Imam.  The two move to New York and open up a pizza place together right next to the ruins of ground zero. The name of the show would be “picking up the pieces.” The show would also star Danny Devito as a wacky next door neighbor who is also a mad scientist.  Most of the episodes would be about how their wacky next door neighbor mad scientist friend accidentally uses science to make their lives difficult (i.e. turning all their cheese back into milk with the remilk ray and the lunch rush is in 20 minutes). 

I abandoned this concept once I realized it was insane, also it would probably offend a great deal of people. It’s funny though, the big hot button topic today though is the possible construction of a cultural center a few blocks from where the towers use to stand that also features an Islamic prayer room. I am not from New York. As much as I can appreciate a bunch of red state politicians trying to score some quick points with their voters through scare tactics I also understand that if New Yorkers don’t give a shit about the whole thing then those politicians should shut the fuck up. 

In other news, Newsweek ranked Switzerland as the best place in the world to be a rapper. Now as everyone knows, Switzerland is famous for three things: cuckoo clocks, banks and a series of underground tunnels and military complexes that have an unknown yet incredibly sinister purpose. Also it might be the whitest place on the planet; it has a long standing feud with Libya and has banned the construction of minarets. So if you love to rap and hate Mummar al-Gaddafi you should head to Switzerland. 

Final random point

I was thinking of music, books and movies that have been ruined for me by break ups. For example I can no longer listen to the Black Keys or BlacRoc because of one girl and Mogwai, Jurassic 5 and the Shins has been permanently ruined for me by another. The reason seems to be that when I was dating them I was listening to those bands and so now I associate that music with them. I can’t be the only person this has happened to so I wonder what is the most common band or musician that has been permanently written off because of a break up. I suspect it’s the Scorpions.
