"Path of Totality" starring Bill Murray as a TV meteorologist, captured by a terrorist group led by Danny Devito and forced to watch the total eclipse with his unprotected eyes. Murray is blinded and goes on a revenge tour to inflict a similar punishment on Devito and his gang.

I think it's a winner.

I am thankfully "ABC/WXYZ News FREE."

I cut ties with these national and local "news" sources because of their relentless barrage of obnoxious self promotions.

For example, the annoying Robin Roberts opening line in ABC/WXYZ's promo, "Right now, there is so much happening in our world..." and ending with goofy Brad Galley gushing about "Your favorite teams right here..."

Ad nauseum ads never cease. Hello competitors.

This presidential election year, voters are looking for a third choice: Vacant.

What would happen if Vacant was written in on the majority of ballots? It would for an interesting quandary and possibly a welcome one.

What do you think?

Non-media musings on cold, rainy Pi Day.:

Isn't it time for McDonald's to create a square bun or a round fish filet? Too much wasted bun. And speaking of buns, shouldn't hot dog bun bakers make hot dog buns shorter? It would certainly be a step in the right direction of fighting obesity.

In other words, make the food fit the buns or the buns fit the food.

Yes, it's a slow media day.

In conclusion, the creators of the latest round of Super Bowl ads should be relegated to the Pit of Misery.

Dilly dilly.

Most annoying advertisement on TV about an overweight person claiming to have her Type 2 diabetes under control. Please go away.

"Hi, I'm Michael Vick. I'm a former NFL star who is also a felon, convicted and sentenced to prison for running a criminal animal cruelty venture known as dog fighting. In fact this is a photo of one of my doggies! This is also a photo of me on the set of my $1 million gig as a Fox football analyst. Like I've always said, "Crime pays!"

The mystery of Mr. Schwamp aka Schwump of Andy Griffith has NEVER been solved. There is no record of who portrayed this character, EVER. And he appeared in 26 episodes. Amateur sleuths should be all over this.

I'm no fashionista - but a hoodie with a suit? No no no, Andrew Whitworth.

Here is another example of how the media has been poisoned by the Swift/Kelce overblown romance. It is now as important as the NFL game in the story. Shame on you tabloid journalists.

Scam alert! The following song is NOT a holiday song: "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch."

There is no mention i. The lyrics of anything to do with the holidays! It should be banned from the airwaves permanently.

Besides, it's s**tty and annoying.

“I did! I really did see Mommy kissing Santa Claus. And I’m gonna tell my Daddy!”

Let’s dissect why Michael Jackson feels like he needs to rat on his Mommy.

1) He doesn’t like his Mommy.
2) He wants his Mommy to marry her boyfriend because he doesn’t like his Daddy.
3) He wants to please his Daddy by being a snitch.
4) He fears his Daddy will find out, making him complicit to an adulterous affair.
5) He fears his Daddy will keep abusing him unless he spills the beans about his adulterous wife.
6) He hates Santa Claus.

I have successfully removed myself from the viewer list of local Detroit WXYZ news and national ABC News. I'm now watching Detroit WWJ and national CBS News. The reasons for my exodus from three other options? See below.

WDIV Channel 4 - Bernie Smilovitz
WXYZ Channel 7 - Carolyn Clifford
FOX Channel 2 - FOX

Time to find true and unbiased journalism, not obnoxious and slanted on-air copy reading.

I've made the switch from ABC News to CBS News. Why? Because I want news without the distractions of "look at me" on air copy readers and giggly threesomes. Yup, David Muir is too "look at me" and GMA/weekend threesomes are too silly and unwatchable.

CBS is less hype and more "to the point" in delivering news in a professional setting.

Grow up ABC. Next step: ditching the local Detroit ABC clowns.

He could get away with it. On air copy readers cannot. C'mon TV news reporters, bow ties are a bad look. I can't take any of you seriously.

Best Detroit TV newscaster ever. Billy puts the present pseudo journalist wannabees and on air copy readers to shame. He kicked ASS.

The vanilla parade among Channel 7 TV news copy readers continues. First Dave Lewellen and now Mike Duffy (who?). Lightweight and boring. Time to dig up Bill Bonds and plant his bombastic ass in front of the camera. At least Billy Boy was entertaining and no holds barred.

From the "I don't give a s**t" files comes this new story. Ryan Seacrest is replacing Pat Sajak as the new host of Wheel of Fortune.

What, Steve Harvey wasn't available?

The best case scenario is for the network to cancel Wheels before it starts rolling.

"A story only seen on Channel 7." The usual local Detroit TV media chest pounding. It's the story of a loose cow on busy I-75 being wrangled by a cowboy on horseback.

The thing is, all other three major Detroit TV media reported the same story. False advertising, 7.

No wonder I can't stand the local media.

A convicted felon who got her wrist slapped and has made millions while flipping off her sheeple followers. Now in a publicity grab for Sports Illustrated, she grosses out millions of people with her ridiculous bathing suit layout. Millions of stomachs are turning. Recommend not viewing on a full stomach.
