Al Gore and Hollywood...
This is not meant to be a polical post, I just want to express some personal thoughts on Hollywood award Shows, and the absolute reverence for Al gore by the Hollywood establishment. Last night on the emmys, I had to sit through a standing ovation for Mr. Gore after he received an emmy for an "Internet network" in which normal folk can post their own videos. First of all,I have never heard of this Internet site, and don't we already have one called "You Tube?" I don't see their owners getting an emmy! This emmy was basically a free commercial for Mr.Gore, on prime time, to promote it. Millions of dollars of free publicity... WTF????
Earlier in the year I had to sit through a similar homage during the Academy awards, and I think the Grammys even slobberd over Gore. I am perplexed here, To me...The man has absolurley no charisma, and his co opting of the environment cause is a joke..Not surprising, he is one who purports to be an architect of the Internet in General.
I am glad award season is done, If I have to sit through another Al Gore pimping I will be sick..
