COMPOSER JOHN BARRY DIES AT 77


Many of my favorite film scores were composed by John Barry. Barry is best know for his work on the James Bond films. One of his first film scores was for a 50's juvenile delinquent film Beat Girl. That song, featuring the twangy guitar of Vic Flick, was recycled by Fatboy Slim into the 90's hit song "Rockefeller Skank."

He died over the weekend at age 77. Here is the BBC news obit. If you want to check out his music you can find a whole page of downloads at Amazon.com.

THE SECRET THAT WIKILEAKS DIDN'T TELL, BUT I WILL



I just found this out. Remember the Man from Glad, the dashing white clad and white-haired, jet pack-traveling hero of 60's and 70's homemakers with too many leftovers?



How about perky Josephine the Plumber, who told 60's and 70's homemakers to clean there sinks with Comet?

What people don't know is these two TV commercial icons were secretly married in the late 60's/early 70's. From this union a child was born. The baby was a girl.

Like her mother, she is terminally perky, overly enthusiastic and wears too much red lipstick. Like her father, she wears white and has a thing for different modes of transportation.


Yes, you guest it. FLO FROM THE PROGRESSIVE COMMERCIALS IS THE DAUGHTER OF THE MAN FROM GLAD AND JOSEPHINE THE PLUMBER!!!

Remember that you didn't hear that from WikiLeaks, you heard that from Desdinova the Super Villain of the Ozarks!!! Mwu-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

OLD PEOPLE ENJOY NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE

I had a news director at one local radio station that ordered me to write traffic accident reports so that it sounded as if the younger person caused the accident. Even if the Missouri State Highway Patrol said in their report that the older driver was at fault, the younger driver was to be fingered as the cause of the accident because, "Older listeners and the advertisers like it that way. That way if an advertiser caused the accident, they won't be upset with us." That news director also wrote several negative stories about youth because "the older listeners like to hear bad things about teenagers."

Reuters/MSNBC had a story to about research conducted in German on this subject. Yes, old people do like negative stories about young people. I believe that many news organizations in the Ozarks (News Leader???) feel as my former news director did and these German researchers have shown. However, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE NEGATIVE YOUTH STORIES NEED TO TAKE PRECEDENT OVER POSITIVE STORIES ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE!!!

After all, you are reporting the news, not writing for 21 Jump Street.

Of course, opinions, like this one, is why I'm considered the Super Villain of the Ozarks!!! Mwu-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

ANDY OF MAYBERRY FANS IN THE OZARKS CELEBRATE THE RETURN OF THE B&W EPISODES

If you watch the news you know that there are horrible things going on. The worst oil spill in U.S history, never ending war in the middle east, Nashville destroyed by flooding, not to mention the economy, unemployment, and housing market, however, Ozarkers are rejoicing.

Yes, Ozarkers are wetting themselves with happiness because KY 3 has announced that they will be showing the black and white episodes of the Andy Griffith Show starting next week. As you know I think Ozarkers are obsessive about the Andy Griffith Show to such a point it is nauseating. KY 3 announced this on their Facebook sight Thursday and soon Andy of Mayberry fans were giddy with glee.
I personally don't hate the color episodes of the Andy Griffith Show. It is shocking how some grown people, men especially, get angry when KY 3 or TV Land shows the color episodes. Of course, I have a theory about the local guys who get upset about the color episodes of the Andy Griffith Show.
I still cannot believe that none of the local TV stations have never ran Batman in reruns. Maybe they are still upset about this incident during the shows original run. I'll just have to settle for this You Tube channel.
And why was Get Smart never shown in reruns in Springfield? Or the Adventures of Superman or Have Gun Will Travel or Dark Shadows? Instead I have to buy the DVDs to see these shows, while the Andy of Mayberry fans get to watch their favorite show for free.

Besides, who would want to live in Mayberry? They probably have only one radio station and it is a country station owned by the Shepherd Group that plays that "Chicken Fried" song every hour. Also, there is no diversity in Mayberry. Everyone in Mayberry is WHITE. Yuck!
Of course, opinions like this one is why I'm considered the Super Villain of the Ozarks!!! Mwu-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

THE GOOD THING ABOUT FACEBOOK REMOVING OSAMA bin LADEN


ABC News reports that there was an Osama bin Laden fan page on Facebook. Facebook took it off. This is good, because every self-righteous dork I went to high school with would have wanted me to join a "Tell Facebook to remove the Osama bin Laden Fan Page" or "1,000,000 People Against Osama bin Laden Being on Facebook."

Of course, opinions like this are why I'm considered the Super-Villain of the Ozarks!!! Mwu-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

DID YOU SAY YOU ATE CAT STEW?


This comes to us courtesy of the Today show website and AP. An Italian TV cooking show host has been suspended for talking about eating cat stew "many times." Remember, if you eat pussy, don't brag about it on TV.

STORY TO WATCH: JACKSON ACCUSER ADMITS HE LIED


Several blogs and overseas entertainment sights are reporting that Jordan Chandler (pictured above), who accused Michael Jackson of molesting him in the early 90's admits it was lie. He says his father, Evan Chandler, forced him to lie because he wanted to extort money from Michael Jackson.

A sight called Global Grind reports that Jordan now has a restraining order against his father for assaulting him.

So far, no American media outlet has picked up the story yet.

Now that this is out in the open, will someone put When Things Were Rotten on DVD, so people can see how much Mel Brooks re-used for Robin Hood:Men In Tights. That way we can discredit Evan Chandler's writing credit on that movie.
