Back from the Dead

Hello everyone,

It has been awhile, and we believe it is time for the W.O. members to come out of hiding once again.

The blog is alive and well… okay maybe not well, but we’ll get it there.

Thanks for your patience,

Barry and the rest of the W.O.

They picked a Morrissey song? Seriously?

‘Everyday is like Sunday”…..After The Smiths broke up, Morrissey moved into a solo career and sang this song about, well what all of Morrissey’s songs are about… life being miserable and just trudging along to the finish line. God, is it any wonder that his music was the anthem for teen angst in the 80’s? I believe it's also quite popular with the closeted Mexican youth of today (I read this in Esquire). I'm not judging... well, I might be, but that’s a different story. I suppose it shouldn’t be shocking, I mean, he is talented. He is just mostly depressing. I still have Smiths songs on my computer, so I guess I’m just pointing out the obvious. I don’t know. I didn’t really write this to bash Morrissey; I guess I still like him. I have been humming the song to myself for a couple of weeks now, so it’s not that I think its crap, but that brings me to my point……


For those of you that live in caves and aren’t aware, the NFL season started a few weeks ago. Needless to say there are endless commercials on Fox, CBS, ESPN, etc for the NFL, and specifically the NFL Network. The NFL Network is a channel owned and operated by the National Football League. I didn’t think this channel had a chance. I was wrong. Anyway, they are pimping the channel everywhere they can… the ‘theme’ song for the channel??? Yes, its Morrissey’s ‘Everyday is Like Sunday’. I was… ummmmm… confused? I don’t know what I thought when I heard it. It’s ridiculous. Granted, they only sing the part where he says ‘Everyday is Like Sunday’ and I get that, but the song actually isn’t saying that Sunday is a good thing… he is saying that Sundays suck… and that is how everyday feels to him. Not exactly the message they are going for, right?


With that said, I have a few issues:
1. Morrissey/Smiths fans aren’t really the demo they are going for, are they? I hope not…because I don’t think that would work out well. From what I remember, the vast majority of Morrissey fans like to sit around and talk about how the world is pointless. I can’t see them wearing cheeseheads or carrying D-Fence signs.
2. If they aren’t going for that demo and they just liked the line of the song… was this like a joke by the advertising company that pitched the idea? A bunch of ad guys in their mid 30’s that got picked on by the jocks in high school, said ‘We can TOTALLY win now, let’s make the f-ing SONG of the NFL a Morrissey song!’ So they went to the very guys that stuffed them in lockers and dropped this on them… and it wasn’t Motley Crue or Zeppelin so they had no idea. If this it what happened, that would probably be the greatest thing ever in the history of advertising.
3. Morrissey was such an anti establishment bitch in his heyday, has he finally turned to the darkside and starting selling his songs for commercial use (and legitimate profit)? I think that makes me sad on some level (we will call this level, annoying teen Buford)…but, on the other hand I am all about making as much money as you can (grown up Buford). I don’t believe in artistic integrity. I mean, he wrote the song and it became popular 20 years ago… its not like HE changed the meaning. That was done by some slick ad execs on Madison Avenue. I don’t know though, I figured he was destined to be just a cult icon… and not a corporate slut. I guess this proves that ‘selling out’ is inevitable if you want to continue on in that business. This is something that should be pointed out to all the stupid emo kids that make me want to homeschool my children.

I just can't see these guys listening to 'Louder than Bombs', can you?

Barry Watched the 60th Emmy Awards

I noticed a few things about the Emmys that I wanted to share. Sure it’s not an eloquent opening, but I really don’t care.

Side note: I really wanted to edit out the accidental rhyme, but part of the beauty of the WO is the willingness of it’s contributors to jump on the grenade or perhaps under the bus. I should be slapped for that rhyme. I’m just going to let it sit there, and torture myself with it. I really really do hate it. Anyway back to the blog.

Tina Fey is up first. What can one say about Tina? Ms. Fey is hot, smart, funny and just an all around perfect woman. Can people please stop comparing her to Sarah Palin? After all Sarah Palin is none of the above. Why? Have you ever heard Palin during an interview? Not a speech prepared by a team of people trained to shape her image. I’m talking about a legit interview. I honestly think my dog is smarter than her. Tina Fey is amazing. Sarah Palin is a governor of a state no one cares about. Stop the comparisons.



Moving on…. It’s time to scold the Emmy writers. Oscars, Grammys, Mtv Whatever Awards, etc… please take note. You can’t write. You unfunny C’s ruin everything. Why do you torture us year after year with your flat humor? I blame Sean Penn. Sean… Chris Rock was hilarious. Maybe because you don’t have a sense of humor you have to go and be an ass, but don’t ruin it for the rest of us. Same goes to Jordan Sparks. Jordan, no one cares about your opinion. You snaked a career via an ‘effin reality show. So the Jonas Brothers wear promise rings, and someone made fun of them. Big deal. I think the more humorous aspect of the Jonas Brothers wearing promise rings is the fact that they can have almost any girl now, but by the time they’re ready to get busy… their record will be in the 99cent bin and no one would ever consider ‘effing them. Especially now that we realize they can’t defend themselves, and need Jordan Sparks to stand up for them.

Along the same lines, who likes Josh Groban? Seriously? Can someone please make this over dramatic ass stop? Please?

Sorry… back to the writers. You all suck. Give your paychecks back now. You are a disgrace to every writer that was on strike last year.

Finally (and the main reason for this post), the WO’s dreams almost came true. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Hayden Panettiere present an award together. Well that may not be entirely accurate. The dream is to be in a Hewitt-Panettiere sandwich, but lets put that aside for now (perhaps that’s a whole other blog post). Amanda Beckett and Claire Bennet on stage at the same time? Be still my heart. Finally award shows seem to be throwing straight males a bone. It was a beautiful moment, and I nearly cried out of joy. What award did they announce? No clue. All I heard at that moment where birds and choirs of angels. Buford felt the same way, considering it was mentioned in the first email he sent me Monday. The WO thanks the Emmys for that. It was truly the only way to celebrate the 60th anniversary.

Questions/Comments? You know where to reach us.

I hate you hyphen and everything you stand for!

I was watching the Red Bulls play Barcelona the other night…ehhh….I typically don’t bother with friendly games between club teams, but it was in High Def…and really, what isn’t fun to watch in High Def? So, the second half starts and they bring in their backup keeper… Caleb Patterson-Sewell. He did well for himself and I’m glad to see him get some minutes….Especially with Thornton gone…good on him. Blah, blah….

Anyway, not the point I’m trying to make. Why does he have two last names? What is THAT about? Why do guys have that now? Seriously!?!?!? I have noticed it more lately too. I’m thinking this is a fad, but maybe not. Is this more fallout from the pussification of our society? Possibly. Guys are too afraid to tell their wives to take their last name and now they are too afraid to tell their wives that the kids are going to at least get their last name?? Nope, now the kids have to share the two. CHRIST. What a pain in the balls too. Did this kid have to write out both all of the time growing up? I don’t remember, does he have both on the back of his jersey? If he doesn’t, does his mom give him shit for not ‘respecting’ her? What a mess. Everyone rags on people for giving their kids stupid first names, but this is worse.

My daughters watch a show on TLC called ‘Hi 5’…Three on the show has hyphenated names. 2 of them are female, one of those two are married…the other one…yep, fella with two last names.

This is different then having a family middle name too. The family middle name is pretentious sure, but a man having two last names is just a step above actual castration.

So this is my formal request to Maddox Jolie-Pitt. I’m looking to you to take a stand little man. Your pop was very cool at a time…..Well actually; He was pretty much cool right up until he started nailing your mom (she sucks by the way)…Admittedly, she did have a time when wasn’t bad, showing her boobies in movies and letting Billy Bob go for the 3^rd input in limo’s on the way to awards shows. But something happened after their divorce. She turned into an overbearing twat that has systematically taken the fun out of everything that has come near her…Oh wait, it was you. Yeah, never mind. This is your entire fault. You aren’t going to be able to help. You are probably going to make this even trendier. You are doomed to be a pussy. A wicked RICH pussy that gets more ass than most boy bands could ever dream of, but a pussy none the less.

F-you Hyphen!

You can dance for us Tara……anytime.

Tara Reid was ‘allegedly’ rejected by ‘Dancing with the Stars’ for not being family friendly? I guess being an actress with a past history of excessive drinking and partying is not what ABC wants for one of their signature shows. I get that. Disney owned and all….have to keep it clean. I mean the girl WAS in American Pie. Dick and fart jokes are not their bag, I can totally accept that. Hell, I have never even seen the show…So, who am I to even question their methods for selecting……. EXCEPT, and this is what I have an issue with, in the same article it says:

“And speculation has been stirring for quite some time about whether Kim Kardashian will bring her booty into the ballroom — but it looks as though it’s going to be a double whammy this season. A Kardashian camp insider said that Kim will be battling against her mom, Kris Jenner.”

Kim Kardashian. I think she has a reality show, not sure how she got it. So, reality ‘stars’ are now more marketable for a show with C and D list celebrities than a certified actress with actual movie credits (and hits to her name)????
Oh, and Kim also blew some second rate dude in a home made porn. Yep. Ray J. I don’t know who he is either (looked him up, he is Brandy’s brother.) Somehow this made her famous. I guess. I watched some of it…partly because they said she was famous, mostly because it was porn.
ANYWAY, she does all sorts of the things to him in the video, makes her parents SO proud, gets a reality show…and yet, SOMEHOW SHE is more family friendly than Tara Reid? Come on!!!! Tara might have done some dumb shit in her private life, but she has never ‘leaked’ a porn tape…and believe me, we here at the WO HQ have looked.

In all fairness though, from my research, it appears that Kim MIGHT be the better dancer...




Anyway, Dancing with the Stars…WAKE UP! Put Tara on the show....and tell Kim that if she makes a porn video with somebody relevant next time, then maybe she can be on the show.

Mila Kunis is Hot in Any Position

It’s not secret the WO loves Mila Kunis. Shocking? We know. Yes, she’s one of the hottest Ukrainians you’ll ever see. Oddly enough, she’s one of the few WO List girls, whose significant other we (at least some of us) approve of. Macaulay Culkin was pimp in Party Monster and Saved!. Not the point. We love Mila. This is where we shout out Complex Magazine. I read it, so I approve. Perusing their website I came across this picture.




I’m not quite sure what the photographer was going for with it. She’s hot as always, but is she about to take a piss? I've seen girls in that position before... in various places. Look at the way the dress is getting hiked up. I’m just saying. Not that I’d kick Mila out of my backyard for taking a leak, but still… I’m not too sure this is the shot I would have taken if I was the photographer. I don’t know, perhaps it’s just me… I just needed to share with someone. If it is a picture of her about to take a leak, I'll fully admit that I've never seen a girl look that good while in the process. That is all. I'll stop before I'm ashamed of myself.
