Annoying Television Personalities

Yeah, but Dr. Ruth is cool and she was sniper in the Army. Unlike Mr. Rogers or John Denver.

You might wanna specify whose army it was.

For me it was her relentless plugging of The Secret, and her obstinate refusal to see the Unfortunate Implications: that if (as the author said) "when you think a thought, you are attracting like thoughts to you", if "everything that's coming into your life you are attracting into your life" -- then Oprah herself attracted her grinding childhood poverty, her chronic weight problems, and her repeated molestation. She must have been thinking about them, so they manifested in her life. After all, as the author said -- in these exact words -- "The only reason any person does not have enough money is because they are blocking money from coming to them with their thoughts."

Self-Help's Slimy "Secret"

Interestingly, 'Christian' proponents of what's known as the 'prosperity gospel', 'name it and claim it doctrine' (or, more crudely, 'blab it and grab it'), say much the same thing: that if you fear things and speak about this fear aloud, you cause what you fear to happen because words have power and so you've created the very problems in your life that you're trying to avoid because you're talking about them.

Mary Murphy, one of the judges on So You Think You Can Dance. Good god, someone make this woman shut up. I don't care how much ballroom experience she has. In professional sports, your opinion of the performance can be summarized with a fraction of ten. There is absolutely no need to scream yourself hoarse after every single performance. Shut up. Just... shut up.

THIS. They're showing the US series over here now, and as much as I love that show to bits, I have to change the channel as soon as the routine is over. The Hot Tamale Train has come so many times the ticket isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Thirded ...

Fourthed. I want to duct-tape her screeching mouth shut. :hair:

I am really getting tired of Oprah Whinfrey. She comes across to me as stuck up, and her ego rivals Bono's.

Umm... does Carlos Mencia count?

Probably. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Lil Mama. She's younger than half the dancers that she judges on America's Best Dance Crew. And she's not exactly a prodigy, either.

She's got a bit of an ego, too, if her jumping on stage during the VMA's is any indication.

Obviously she did. I mean, who can't control who they're born to? And her fatty fat fatness is CLEARLY because she refuses to stop inhaling every marginally edible object placed in front of her. And we all know that 10 year old girls are ALL asking for it.

But seriously, her weight problems are her own fault. As Brian Griffin said "PUT DOWN THE FORK! FACE!!!"

That's true. Whenever I see someone in a good mood, prancing about with their eyeballs all up in their heads, spouting sunshine from every pore of their body, I feel like I have to fix it.

And there's probably a WEE bit of truth to all of that dude's bullshit. I make many more putts when I have confidence that I'm going to make them and believe that it's as good as sunk than I do when I'm nervous and doubtful about it.

However that only goes so far, my pessimism about the weather doesn't likely cause it to rain. If it does, I'm joining the X-Men.

No one has mentioned Tyra Banks so far? Her mememe bullshit has grown exponentially over the years, until now she can't go five seconds without endless showboating and turning the conversation back around to her. "Oh, you were molested? That reminds me of the time that someone ripped my Gucci dress at a show in Milan..."

Not to mention that lately her show has become all about how much she hates sex. Premarital sex, lesbian sex, teenage sex... All of it is awful, STD-ridden, ungodly badness! And if you do it, you're a slut who'll never get a man to marry you!

I didn’t like Tyra much in the beginning, but I stopped watching her completely when I saw her blew up at Tiffany. Maybe the way Tiffany tried to lighten up the mood was not the right way, but Tyra turned the situation to her and that was disgusting to watch. My sisters love her shows. I have to step out most times because I keep going back to that one scene.

When did she ever give the message that sex was bad? I would’ve hear my sisters yap about it if they’ve seen it.

Who the piss is Tyra Banks?

Is she the one who clocked some people who took her photo while she was sleeping on an airplane or am I thinking of someone else?

I believe that would be Naomi Campbell, but I'm not 100% positive.

Went to wiki again. Yeah, it was Naomi. Woman's got problems.

Supermodels were always annoyances, if not massive.

Heidi Klum isn't.

No other exceptions come to mind.

Mikey, sweetie, you're mixing up "being hot" with "not being annoying" again.

Saying that, Heidi is slightly less offensively annoying that Tyra. This does not stop me watching America's Next Top Model at all. :whisper:

I'm pretty sure Klum isn't annoying.

I haven't heard of her doing anything annoying. Just VW and Guitar Hero commercials. And that one episode of Spin City.

She doesn't seem to have NEARLY the ego of Tyra Banks (or maybe Klum has the sense not to spray a massive, unearned ego all over network television), and she hasn't beaned anyone with a cell phone. AND she isn't fucking Tom Brady.

She's also the host of Project Runway. She carries herself very well and is gracious even when critiquing people's awful crap.
Tim Gunn is also not annoying. He is a god among men.

I hate that lady with the red lipstick in the Progressive insurance commercials. And words cannot begin to describe the depth of my hatred for Tyler Perry. How the hell does that guy have a career?!

Does Tyra Banks think she's funny when she does all that weird shit on "America's Next Top Model"? Because she's not.

I think she might have gone a bit nuts. It certainly seems to have got more surreal as the years wear on.

Yeah, Tyra has lost it. The seventeen squillion photos in the house of her is kinda creepy. And her weird buzzwords. Fierce is out. Tension is in.

Fell flat on your face? Needed tension. Took your eye out on a hairpin? Not enough tension.

It's so bizarre how quickly she can contradict herself. You should take risks, but not be weird. How any of the poor models are supposed to follow her advice is anyone's guess.

And she champions those unusual faces. You know, the ones that look exactly like someone from an earlier cycle. And all the bizarre "minorities" - OMSquee a size 8 and a girl with a scar! Run away!

And those weird shorts before judging. Tyra with children, saving the world! Ick.
