About the controversy, I say Kornheiser’s kinda right. Every morning it seems to be a quick check of the score on the surprisingly popular but equally sad ‘What is Hannah Wearing to Look Younger Today!’ game on my way to The Price Is Right.
I don’t know what demographic ESPN was trying to capture with the Hannah Storm hire, but they lost me, kind of a big sports fan. Now, instead of leaving ESPN on all morning as background noise, I do the same but with the Dan Patrick show on DirecTv. Ms. Storm might not be the ratings grabbing extravaganza ESPN was hoping for. That’s what she said.
This is getting disturbing, first Kimmel, now Chelsea Handler’s show, Danica Patrick and her outgoing new ‘personality’ are polluting some of the only shows worth watching these days.
This is so obviously ‘Danica build v.2.0 NASCAR Edition’ or some other such file name currently open on a dozen laptops somewhere on the road to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this very second. If you can sit through this laughable clip, you’ll notice the sickening ‘Team Danica’ douches in the audience laughing hysterically at every lame ‘joke’, one after the next.
There is one quite insightful part, however. Towards the end, Handler asks Danica what kind of car she drives and Patrick mentions her Lamborghini, to which the hacks in the crowd “whoooooaa’d” with retarded delight.
Then Danica answers: “And that’s why I keep my Lamborghini…Because you all respond well to that.” (I tacked just that question to the very end of the clip)
I took her response to the crowd to mean that as long as we/you/they keep responding positively to her, she gets to keep her precious Italian hot rod havin’ lifestyle. The minute we stop, the minute she loses the super high life and she has to actually be a racer. That cannot be what she’s looking forward to.
