Phyllis Siegel, 76, and Connie Kopelov, 84, were the first same-sex couple to get married in Manhattan over the weekend when marriage equality became legal in NY. Yes, these two little old ladies are what all the fuss from the radical religious has been over. Lock your doors folks because the one in the wheelchair is probably making a beeline to grab your kids while they sleep.

[Lady Gaga's] “Born this Way” is bullshit, gay is a choice, and the reason he knows this is exactly because “God don’t make no mistakes”

if his son that was gay he better come home and talk to him like a man and not [he mimicked a gay, high pitched voice] or he would pull out a knife and stab that little N [*gga] to death.

Tracy Morgan is a comedian who is known for making offensive and ridiculous comments like the ones above. He isn’t a teacher or a politician or a religious leader so I don’t get why people are so worked up over his latest routine. What offends me is that it isn’t funny and I would pissed if I paid good money to be in the audience to listen to someone rambling about their own prejudices. If anything, Morgan stole this routine from Archie Bunker and added a contemporary spin to it.

To everyone who is disgusted by Morgan and his comment’s, you have the ability to get even where it counts the most – ratings. Don’t watch 30 Rock or Morgan’s TV stand-up routines. Don’t purchase his DVDs or go to his movies (they tend to blow so that’s not a big sacrifice).

I’m not defending what Morgan said, his comments really were detestable. But that’s what he does and as long as people support him, shy should he stop?

Last night was Survivor’s final episode and Live Reunion Show or as I like to call it, the painted ladies parade. First, the final episode. The bamboo shoot that served as a bed for Jesus Jones on Redemption Island was getting crowded as four people were now exiled to the island. Jesus Jones, Army Pete, The Dreadlocked NFL Dude and Andrea. The Fartastic Four were summoned to their final duel, which would decide who the one person to rejoin the game would be. It was one of those tense, balancing acts and for the first time, I was sort of rooting for Jesus Jones because after spending nearly one month on Redemption Island, he truly deserved to reenter the game.

So Andrea shocked everyone by winning and then there was an overly sappy moment of sending the three guys to the jury room. Andrea reentered the game where she quickly lost the immunity challenge and was then sent off to the jury pool at tribal. That left us with the final four – Boston Rob, Phil “Don’t-Call-Me-Crazy” Sheppard, Professional Dancer Natalie and the girl who is obsessed with arm pits – Ashley.

The four had another immunity challenge where Rob won and secured his spot in the final three where he would have to beg the jury for money. Arm-Pits Ashley was blindsided at tribal and became the final member of the jury.

The final three were rewarded with a champagne beach brunch and then Phil “Don’t-Call-Me-Crazy” Sheppard ceremoniously burned his pink panties and fashioned himself a fairly impressive Native American ensemble to wear to the final tribal where the three players would beg for money. At the beggar’s ball,  the jury was filled with anger and spent most of their time telling off Natalie and Phil. Phil didn’t seem to understand the beggar/beggie system and yelled at several jury members further cementing his loss. The votes were cast and it was time to time warp to the live reunion show in NYC.

So we get to the live portion of the evening and it was really no surprise who received most of the jury’s votes. Boston Rob won Survivor and he deserved it for playing an amazing game. He dominated the physical challenges, masterminded the plans that put him in the final three and was a top-notch participant in life at camp.

The rest of the reunion show was ok. One of the jury members proposed to his girlfriend in the audience who had been a Survivor cast member on a previous season. The proposal was awkward and her reaction was even worse – she didn’t look like she wanted to say yes but it was on live TV so she sort of had to accept. There were the standard questions to the whole gang and then it was all over…until the next season, which will take us to some shitty island in the South Pacific this fall. I can’t wait!!

News Lady: “I don’t get this Thor thing”.

News Guy: “He is the god of thunder and used to be one of the big Marvel characters with Spider-Man and Captain America”.

Weather Guy: “Was he made out of rocks”?

At that point you could see the look of extreme disappointment in News Guy’s eyes.
