‘Oscar’ applying for new name

After last night's Oscar show hosted by Seth MacFarlane, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts has decided to scrap the name ‘Oscar’ as it has been so degraded and discredited by bad writers and poor taste. To be fair, it isn’t that Seth MacFarlane has no talent because he does. It isn’t dancing, however.

He can remember long lines to boob songs, and learning lines like that makes him actor material. If he wrote those lines, they had to be approved by the Academy. If the Academy approved them, they had a direct hand in their own demise.

Seth MacFarlane was a fish out of water, a slide out of sync, a boob on the tube, and a dude without an “e.”

An apology to all persons with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts.

Time for me to turn in my Guy Card, I guess. I’ll give ABC credit for taking a chance. But where James Franco and Anne Hathaway were inept two years ago, and Billy Crystal was fine-but-dull a year ago, MacFarlane was uncomfortable, smarmy, unfunny–and not even bad in any memorably creative way.
