Mac & Cheese Pizza? VOTE NO!
A few shows debuting this week that probably shouldn't be making an appearance according to, W.M.
By Wm.™ Steven HumphreyFor some weird reason, I’ve never been invited to moderate a presidential debate. The first of three debates between President Obama and “Golden Mittens” Romney is scheduled for this coming Wednesday (6 pm PST/9 pm ET, all major networks), and if I were asked to moderate, I’m purrrr-etty sure I’d have a lot to offer! The way I see it, I’d bring up important subjects that are rarely discussed in the realm of political debate. SUCH AS:
1) What is UP with the new Tony’s frozen “Macaroni & Cheese Pizza”? Have you seen this? IT’S A REAL THING. It’s a grocery store pizza, except instead of toppings, it’s covered with frozen macaroni and cheese. And I think I speak for the rest of the American populace in saying, THAT AIN’T RIGHT. Now, I’m not saying that this “Macaroni & Cheese Pizza” is worse than the Holocaust—because that would be insulting to Hitler. He’d be like, “DUDE. I admit I hated Jews, Poles, and the gays—but Tony’s Pizza hates EVERYBODY. Macaroni & Cheese pizza? Man. That’s ice cold.” Therefore, Tony’s “Macaroni & Cheese Pizza” is NOT worse than the Holocaust. (But it is worse than anything that happened in Darfur.)
2) What do you, as the potential next leader of the free world, plan to do about this Tony’s “Macaroni & Cheese Pizza” problem? Do you plan to a) launch a nuclear strike on the Tony’s pizza factory, b) increase production of these frozen abominations and airdrop them into Iran, or c) buy one from your grocer’s freezer, take it home, bake it, and eat the shit out of it?
OH! Or d) all of the above?
3) Which of the following new TV shows debuting this week should be poisoned to death by a Tony’s “Macaroni & Cheese Pizza”:
a) Last Resort (ABC, Thurs Sept 27, 8 pm). Homicide: Life on the Street’s Andre Braugher is the captain of a U.S. nuclear sub ordered to bomb the poop out of Pakistan—but when he refuses? The government tries to sink him! (Umm… excuse me, but nobody sinks Andre Braugher!!) Obviously, there’s nothing else to do except invade a tiny island where Andre Braugher sets up his own benevolent dictatorship, and… OMG, THIS IS THE WEIRDEST IDEA FOR A SHOW EVARRRRRR!! I’m pretty sure its creator ate the newest Tony’s frozen pizza (“Macaroni & Cheese & Crank).
b) Elementary (CBS, Thurs Sept 27, 10 pm). Not at all based on the success of the extremely awesome British series Sherlock (because why would it be?), Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller as recovering addict Holmes, and Lucy (Charlie’s Angels) Liu as his sober assistant “Dr. Joan Watson.” In a related story, Tony’s “Macaroni & Cheese Pizza” tried to imitate a real pizza—with unfortunate results.
c) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Nickelodeon, Sat Sept 29, 11 am). A reboot of the pretty crappy Ninja Turtle franchise from the struggling kids’ network Nickelodeon. In their defense, while the Ninja Turtles love pizza, even they think Tony’s “Macaroni & Cheese Pizza” is a “Cowabungle.” (GET IT?!? Oh sweet Jesus, I’m funny!!)
Presidential debate committee? I await your invitation.
Ha! HAA!! “Cowabungle.” Somebody retweet that! @WmSteveHumphrey
