And this is how I really spend my time
I am a daily reader of Go Fug Yourself. In the past, I've kept this to myself, the same way I keep my reading of US magazine (and all its knock-offs) to myself (Christopher finds them around the house and shakes them at me, saying: "You are part of the problem!" and he is sooooo right). I don't want to admit to my closet cattiness. I want to appear enlightened, informed, uncaring to brutal skewering of celebrities. But, seriously, let's get real. Let's be honest. Deep inside of me is a great big bitch, and, just like you, I do little things to keep her tamed (so that I don't scream at Chicago drivers. Or anyone else deserving of screaming) and reading Go Fug Yourself is one of them. It's my secret guilty pleasure.
"Why now, Megan" you ask. "Why now do you chose to tell us about this horrible ink blot upon your otherwise unspoiled New Yorker reading, Modest Mouse listning to, foreign-film watching charcater?"
Because today, my friends, they went after David Hasselhoff and, while I have nothing against David Hasselhoff (in fact, my dad and I watched Knightrider religiously when I was a little girl) I must say that the video they link us to is the most amazing thing I have EVER. SEEN.

Okay, you're not alone. I adore Go Fug Yourself. I live for it. I have branched out to The Superficial (http://www.thesuperficial.com/) and also I Watch Stuff (http://www.iwatchstuff.com/).
They are so snarky, it inspires me. It truly does.
And the Hasselhoff video? I still have aches in my gut from the laughing, like the aches you get after doing a bunch of sit-ups (or rather, after I got after I did a bunch of sit-ups that one time). Maybe that means I have an excuse not to do sit-ups for a few days. Maybe that means that all I have to do is watch the Hasselhoff video every day, and that'll be like doing sit-ups every day! Bonus! I win!
Except that means I have to watch that video every day. And as funny as it is, I think after a few days it might seem like torture. In fact, I think it would be funny if we found out that the CIA forces prisoners and various other torturee-types to watch that video non-stop. Cuz if it were me, and I had to watch it on continuous loop, after a day or so (okay after an hour) I'd be screaming, "Okay! Okay! I'll tell you everything you want to know! Just make it stop, please just make it stop!"
