And frankly, it pains me to explain the obvious.  Hell, we watch freezing Alaska melt, polar bears bereft of polar ice, and California drought, and some still refuse to believe their eyes and see something dire happening to our

[(The Borowitz Report)—Many Americans are tired of explaining things to idiots, particularly when the things in question are so painfully obvious, a new poll indicates.

According to the poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, while millions have been vexed for some time by their failure to explain incredibly basic information to dolts, that frustration has now reached a breaking point.

Of the many obvious things that people are sick and tired of trying to get through the skulls of stupid people, the fact that climate change will cause catastrophic habitat destruction and devastating extinctions tops the list, with a majority saying that they will no longer bother trying to explain this to cretins.

Coming in a close second, statistical proof that gun control has reduced gun deaths in countries around the world is something that a significant number of those polled have given up attempting to break down for morons.]

The Who: "Who are You"

Keith Moon's Final Song

[Keith Moon was only 31 at the time, but his endless partying had taken a severe toll on his body. He was bloated and out of practice. Nevertheless, the Who powered through a nine-song set that wrapped up with John Entwistle's signature tune "My Wife." They went to their dressing room sweaty and exhausted, but Stein wasn't done with them. The director still wasn't happy with "Won't Get Fooled Again" and he told Pete he didn't feel like it had a "definitive end." "A definitive end?" Townshend reportedly said. "What do you want me to do? Go out there and fall asleep on stage? Maybe I should go out there and die during my last solo? Or maybe I should hit that motherfucker who's been yelling for 'Magic Bus' over the head with my guitar?"

The Who ultimately agreed to play the song one more time. This time Townshend leaped in the air during the climax, did a knee slide and bounced around the stage. He wrapped up with some windmills before lifting his guitar over his head, bouncing it off the ground and then using it to knock some cymbals across the stage. Stein was pleased, and the performance wrapped up the documentary.]

Damn Youse, NBC's, Damn Youse!!!

Thanks NBC for cutting Ray Davies and "Waterloo Sunset," one of most perfect songs ever.

Now you gone and done it, NBC, cutting Ray Davies doing the quintessential British song, "Waterloo Sunset."  Just cut it, crappd on it, and aired Animal Freaking Practice instead.

That amounts to media malpractice, bastards.

They even cut it from extra bonus footage aired AFTER "Animal Practice."   Had to stay up to past my bedtime to even catch the Who, what remains anyway.

Thank media gods for You bloody Tube, even with some shoddy sound.  Die a horrible business death NBC, may you go the way of the dinosaur and print newspapers, and I will dance.

[NBC frustrated fans once again on Sunday when the network decided to interrupt its coverage of the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony to air an hour-long preview of an upcoming comedy series.

Despite record ratings and an unprecedented amount of coverage, NBC has miffed some Olympics enthusiasts by airing the games on tape delay, editing out portions of the opening ceremony, unintentionally spoiling major events, broadcasting Tom Brokaw's documentary on World War II instead of the competition, and more.

It probably, then, should not have surprised fans that the network edited out portions of the 2012 closing ceremony for broadcast, including performances by Muse and The Kinks. However, fans seemed startled when the network suddenly cut away from the closing ceremony to air a one-hour preview of "Animal Practice."]
