I want a beat behind this

if it's possible to read it to the tune of carameldansen you should, but if not listening to it at the same time will be fine

the only good thing to come out of the food network, by the way, is the one picture where a bottle of estradiol is photoshopped onto a counter next to ina garten and the caption says "if you can't make your own estrogen store bought is fine"

I just watched like four videos of that and it solved the existential question of last week, namely "why does Persona 5 exist", but I am no happier knowing.

The only good thing to come out of the food network is the goddamn Kwanzaa cake and you know it.

the persona 5 blame chain is the void that one guy was talking about when he was staring into it or whatever

i like the kwanzaa cake because it gives good insight into the cultural death of middle-aged white americans, but my personal favorite that i just remembered is the "two shots of vodka" video

also the fact that every ripoff of chopped is more entertaining than chopped - did you see that one show on netflix where it's basically "chopped but everything is an edible"? i watched that whole series

    it gives good insight into the cultural death of middle-aged white americans

Hang on there, missy - the whole problem is that middle-aged white Americans have never before been required any awareness of culture other than their own. This is the principle reason they all hearken back to '67. Certainly: there were minorities around but they weren't required to care about them, let alone empathize with them.

You also need to keep in mind that for the past ten years, that's what Andrew Cuomo went home to. Then she traded up to the CEO of KB Home because of course she did.

I'm a reality TV snob. I don't watch the shows at the level I work, let alone those beneath. Chopped can't pay me half the rate I expect to be paid. Back when we had cable we'd wake up on Saturday morning and argue with the Food Network but we haven't had cable since 2006.
