The Giveaway

You know what really annoys me? These holiday giveaway shows. Oprah used to do one. She gave away the coolest stuff. One time, The View tried to copy her but gave away shit like "Domino's Pizza" deliveries and crap. Well, Dr. Phil is doing a spin-off of the show, and let me tell you, these people are walking away with thousands of dollars of stuff - awesome nintendo equipment, a computer, music entertainment centers, tons of kitchen appliances, a dyson vacuum... you name it, they're getting it. They also gave away a queen-size mattress and bed spring. Waterford crystal containers. Shoes and bags and make-up sets and guitars and CDs. I'm actually pretty impressed by their giveaways.

Doogie Howser just showed up and gave away free airline tickets.

Fucking hell, everyone also just got a $500 credit card gift card.

So why am I annoyed? Because I'm watching it, and what joy is there in watching a bunch of people receiving gifts when you're getting absolutely nothing?

Let me tell you: there's none.
