Don’t & Don’t Just Take Or Word For It
May 17th, 2007 . by contemptsterIt’s Don’t Just take Our Word For It, the clunkiest “blog links” title on the internets. Here are a few links that are pissing me off or making me laugh, mostly pissing me off.
Deadspin
The Mike & Mike in the Morning show annoys me to no end yet I listen to them every morning. I don’t know why I do it but I do. I’m a sucker for bad radio and self punishment I guess. There are many things that annoy me on the show. First, it sponsors everything, and when I mean everything I mean e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. It’s email inbox has a sponsor, the “Michelin Inbox” and the phone line has a sponsor, the “On Star Hotline”. It’s shameless. Second, Mike Greenberg makes the most idiotic points and talks like a complete spazz and Mike Golic should not be on radio and should have the nickname “Stammers”. Third, they give their station ID every two seconds and break for commercial every five seconds. It’s almost like they are more concerned with making money than putting on a good show, which fits the ESPN mold perfectly.
The thing is the higher-ups at ESPN love these two schlubs. First, they gave them the Arena Football League announcing duties, not that big of a deal because I know two people who watch Arena League Football. Wait, scratch that, I don’t know anyone who watches that pointless junk sport, but this news is just too much to bear: Mike & Mike have been given announcing duties for the National Spelling Bee. I for one liked the two nerds who currently announce the competition, but now Mike & Mike will come in and “jazz it up with their own brand of humor and know-how”. Fuck. You. Other than that, I’m not passionate about Mike & Mike at all (This link was brought to you by Massengill DOUCHE).
New York Shitty
It was nice to meet Heather of New York Shitty fame at the Brooklyn Blogfest, where we discussed the following post. A long time ago when we were planning this site we discussed doing a “Bad Public Bathroom” Contemptster, but now we don’t have to because it can’t get any worse than this. Get ready to be grossed out. Pictures included!

Does anyone want two tickets to the gun show? I got them and now I realize I can’t go. I have to slam my face into a wall repeatedly.

This is proof that everyone has their own little quirks and pet peeves, even if it’s only a matter of two hundredths of a second.
