You stupid blockheaded dung pile, America. Stupid! You didn't
watch Arrested Development and now it's gone. They've
cancelled it. Do you realize what you've done?! You're watching,
what, CSI: Raleigh,starring Ned Beatty and a buffed
up Jonathan Silverman and taken away the greatest show on
television. Nice move, America. It's like you were in an art
gallery and instead of walking up to see Van Gogh's Sunflowers
you chose instead to see Ned Steinbutz's velvet painting Clown
with Kitten. It's like you walked into a restaurant and
ordered nachos instead of Beef Wellington even though they
were the same price. It's like you went to see Alien Versus
Predator instead of Sideways. Oh, wait, you did,
America. Stupid dung pile.
Arrested Development was hilarious. It had winning
writing with smart, unusual plots you don't find anywhere
else on television. Sort of like Sports Night did.
And Freaks and Geeks. You didn't watch those shows
either. Shame on you. Those shows are not your sensibility,
eh? According to Jim. That's more your style. Fantastic,
thanks America. Why try and elevate ourselves when its easier
to sack out on the sofa with Jim Belushi.
The actors were first rate too, you know. Sure, it's not
Paris Hilton, or Matt LeBlanc, or everyone on UPN, but it
had Jason Bateman. THAT Jason Bateman. Yes, he's gone now.
I hope it's not the last I see of him. He was Rick Schroeder's
friend on Silver Spoons. Remember? Ricky got busted
one episode when he went with Jason Bateman to a Duran Duran
concert. That episode was awesome. Jason Bateman also has
a nice haircut. Next time I go into Yo Lin Dong's Hair and
Nails on 85th I'm going to ask for "The Bateman."
And Portia de Portia, or wha tever her name is. The hot girl
from "Ally McBeal" who's a lesbian in real life
but is really hot anyways. Lesbians can be hot. Straight women
can be hot, too. A lot of women are hot and you missed your
chance to see Portia in her best role. Oh, don't fret, America.
You can probably find hot people on American Idol and
vote for them (more than you vote for your politicians, you
rejects). Henry Winkler and Scott Baio were in the show too,
you know. And Ron Howard narrated the whole thing. Yes, Henry,
Scott, and Ron. Happy Days happy time right there on
Arrested Development. Pat Morita wasn't on the show
though. He won't be any time soon. He just died. You, America,
are probably to blame. And Charlize Theron was in it. That's
right. Better turn off the TV. The sight of Charlize Theron
makes one queasy. You dumb chumbucket.
I'm full of rage, I am. Really. It's your fault, America.
All you had to do was watch the freakin' show. Would it have
been so hard? You would have laughed. You would have loved
it. I did. But you've ruined it for the rest of us. You're
to blame. The finger is pointed at you. Yeah, that finger.
I'll survive, sure, but can you, America? I mean, how dumb
do you have to be before you're no longer a country but a
collection of bobble headed sheep eager to see whom the next
Bachelor chooses? If the world was a classroom and the countries
students, America would be the one with the pointy hat standing
in the corner staring at the wall. How stridently uncultural
can you make yourself? You're worse than a velvet painting.
You're a faux velvet painting. No, strike that, all painting
is art no matter how bad and you're terminally artless. You're
just faux. That's it, faux, sitting in your suburban home
with your Wal-Mart belongings happily nestled in your Pottery
Barn sofa eager for another episode of Joey. You're
stupid.
