Well played. When you can't keep a job where MSNBC pays you to talk about your opinions, and you can't keep it for a month at least, then you're hovering around Stephen territory. Honestly I think Adam could take his shot at Number One Son position right now, and hold it unopposed for awhile.

I'm with you 100 percent on that. I was really confused, since the show plays it like you're supposed to feel at least some sort of sympathy for Doug, if not outright hope for him to get the girl. But he acts like a, for lack of a better phrase, demented deviant. It could have made for a much stronger story if they

You must have loved the super bowl last year.

That was a pretty decent episode. But I think it's telling that they had to center the story on a completely independent-to-the-action character to make for a compelling storyline.

I dunno, I feel like I would have much rather have seen the alternative cat-and-mouse game than what we got instead. It's totally personal preference but I feel like a more distinctive protagonist / antagonist plot would have felt more cohesive and followable. Maybe that's simple-minded or something, but that's just

I've literally been saying that since season one. I don't WANT it to happen, to be fair, but I think every episode that she's on screen for I think "Wouldn't it have been so much easier to have Doug kill her and dump her body in the woods?" I mean, she appears to have no family and no real friends to speak of. It's

"Eh, what was that, Sonny? Speak up! Grandpa CBS don't hear so good in his left ear ever since he canceled the Beverly Hillbillies."

Wasn't Big Brother still sort of, you know, good back then? I don't think it's that shameful. I mean, I used to watch the Amazing Race religiously, back when that was still good.

Season 2: Under the (Bio)Dome, starring Pauley Shore and whichever lesser Baldwin we can sign out of rehab this weekend.

"This week on Hatesong . . ."

I've got to admit that that's true. Although I'd be tickled to death if the article actually ran like that. "Here's some fucking guy from some band we don't know. Let it rip."

Not to mention his staggering takedowns of Beck and Hanson.

Not to mention the rapidly approaching onset of time?

I just think it's funny that the introductions always frame the interviewee / their group as some kind of gem of their genre that it's criminal to be missing out on. Even if their entire shtick is a stupid Twitter handle. Or they just, you know, suck. Not to say that this guy sucks, since I don't know him. I get that

It was probably a good idea to pass on knocking Bohemian Rhapsody.

You don't get it, maaaaan. If other people like it, then it's not punk. It doesn't kick ass like music should, maaaaaan.

What if rock millionaires took turns sniping at each other? Like, I dunno, Vince Neil talks about how terrible he thinks those three new-ish Green Day albums are, then Billie Joe Armstrong snaps back with how insipid Dr. Feelgood is. Ideally this all would end with some sort of gladiatorial games but we can work out

This makes me think; maybe Hatesong articles would be better if the subject was pushed to actually defend their choice more. Because yeah, when the interview just goes on with both parties piling on some band and talking about how lame they are, it makes them both look unfair. I think I'd like it more if the

Hey, is everyone else here forgetting that Wayne's World also included that damn Mickey song? THAT is the worst part of the movie, even if it's making fun of the song. Just by association. I'd rather have the members of Sweet take turns breaking their instruments over my head then listen to Mickey again.

I may not be a gay man, per se, but I doubt gay men aren't also intimidated by the idea of being cavity searched like that. So I don't think it counts.
