Lurves Me Some Jon Stewart

Just a quick post in case you haven't seen this yet.  America's boyfriend, Jon Stewart, recently slapped around (verbally) former Education Secretary William Bennett on the topic of gay marriage.

You can see the clip, along with another Daily Show clip and one from the Colbert report, on The Malcontent.

Loving hatred, hating love

The AV Club's Inventory of 13 Memorably Unpopular Characters from Popular TV highlights the worst of the best, a truly sickening group of depressing characters from mostly otherwise fun and/or wildly popular shows. 

I like the idea that we're so attached to characters and the dynamic between them that the whole series can be shaken off course by the addition of one irritating child. (Many of the characters on the list are children, or are aimed at children. Do we dislike being talked down to?) 

Notable people missing from this list:

  • The entire cast of 7th Heaven
  • Jay Leno, Bill O'Reilly, Donald Trump (not "characters," but certainly hate-able)
  • Any number of female ADAs on Law & Order

Who do you hate? Share!
