Just When You Thought The World Couldn’t Get Any Weirder…

Just when you thought the world couldn’t get any weirder… Celebrity Apprentice. The show where “who’s that guy again?” celebrities face off to impress the biggest celebrity of all, Donald Trump. (Bet The Donald’s getting a serious kick out of that!)
Nothing new here. Hot dog stand instead of lemonade stand. Omarosa saying dumb things instead of Omarosa saying dumb things. The big issue in the first show was whether the celebs should use their celebrity to huck the most pathetic looking hot dogs in history or rely on “solid business principles”. Project Manager/part-time Rocket scientist, Omarosa, insistrd on the latter, ensuring her opponents, the guys, an easy victory.
But the most pathetic part of the whole ordeal is the promo above, where people we’ve never heard of, or barely remember, try to convince us that they’re important. OK Gene Simmons and The Sopranos guy are kinda cool. But the rest of em? In the good old days, these guys would have just gone quietly off to pasture on Hollywood Squares and be done with it…
