Happy Valentine’s Day

A while ago my husband asked if I wanted to do anything in particular for Valentine’s Day. I told him, “Since it’s an entirely invented holiday, I’m not too fussed about it.” And it’s true. I don’t really care about Valentine’s Day. It doesn’t mean anything. I spent about £3 on a present for husband and I will make him a cheesecake he requested. But even that much isn’t entirely necessary as far as I’m concerned. So if you’re single and have no one on Valentine’s Day, feel free to ignore it as much as I do. It doesn’t matter.

I saw part of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics here, but not when it was aired. It was on at 1:45am here. The one thing I didn’t want to see was the tragic death of the Georgian athlete Nodar Kumaritashvili. When I saw the video footage they showed him flying off his sled and into the air, and then cut away. But I’ve heard what NBC did. They showed every moment of it in slow motion. Three times. If I didn’t hate NBC because of Conan, I definitely hate NBC now. There are a few shows on NBC that I like (The Office and 30 Rock), but I can live without them for the sake of boycotting NBC. I will not watch any NBC shows until Jeff Zucker and Dick Ebersol (the head of NBC sports programming) are fired. And I’m not the only one.

It you hate what Jeff Zucker did to Conan, join I’m With Coco on Facebook. And if you hate what Dick Ebersol did to Nodar Kumaritashvili’s loved ones, join Another disgrace at the hands of NBC on Facebook.

Also I found out that there is a fan group for this web site on Facebook. Weird. I had no idea.

Anyway, enjoy your made-up holiday or whatever.

  1. The fact that they showed Nodar Kumaritashvili’s crash bothered me, and I didn’t even see it. I just think that there are certain things that demand a level of respect. I feel the same about car crashes. It’s not about whether or not people want to see the bodies or the crash itself. Its about the people involved and their families. That’s why police and firefighters will hold up blankets or stand in the way of cameras when they can. But, if they can’t, or like in this case, it happened too fast, the network should have some sensitivity.
