So, the girls here really love Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which means I often have to suffer through it. To be more precise, I often have to hide in a far corner of the house to escape the cartoonishly over-the-top screaming and lisping of Ty Pennington (look at that hair). Embedded, you will find a clip from the show (with 18 seconds of silent lead-in, for some reason - bear with it, it's worth it); please watch it, so you can see what I'm talking about.
In case you're wondering, that's him saying "Oh!" over and over again, and then him talking like Krusty the Klown on crack at the end. Now, before you people even say it, I'm not talking about the guy's DUI arrest. While that is terrible, and no one should ever drive drunk, I'm not even calling upon that evidence to make my case. In fact, I'll even go so far as to say that he seems like a decent person; he obviously changes a lot of people's lives for the better on that show, and I have nothing but respect for that. That's not my point at all. You can be a great person and still be a total douche-bag. Which he is. He's one of those guys that people love, and I want to like, but his ego is too massively huge to feel anything but scorn for him. In case you don't believe me, take it from someone who knows, someone who's opinion is true and worthy... Joel McHale.
For the record, I am aware that there are people out there more worthy of my scorn that this guy, but his show was on tonight, and I'm particularly crabby tonight, so it was kind of the perfect storm. And he's a tool.
