To my absolute horror she popped a video in the machine and ther it was - Emeril had his own sitcom. It was perhaps the most torturous few hours of my life. Emeril was as charismatic and cool as he is on his cooking show.
Which is to say he was ****ing appaling.

Even his TV adverts are crap! They're so bad I can't even remember the product he was flogging.

Re: The 50 most loathsome people in America
[QUOTE=NC Penguin]My nomination would be Emeril Lagasse, celebrity/TV "chef".
I'm not at all convinced he can cook nor do I find him entertaining. He has a poor grasp of American English too (although he is from MA, which might be part of the reason).
To me, he exemplifies all that is wrong with cooking on TV yet he is popular. You don't want to know where I'd put his "bam"!!!
Went to his thanksgiving show 2 years ago.He taped it at McguireAFB ,in a hangar , lots of fun. He has a crew of chefs bringing food on during the commercials.His band were really good , they played during the breaks.Never got anything good to eat.

You never mentioned anything about Emeril himself. Guess that sums it up really, doesn't it?

Re: The 50 most loathsome people in America
[QUOTE=Webbie]Thanks for your nominations but again I have to ask for what reason ?
Who is Nancy Pelosi and why is she so loathsome ?
The original list mentions mostly famous (or infamous people) - what is this reason for her inclusion ? She's not all that well known...

OK, Nancy Pelosi is an uber-liberal Democrat Congresswoman in CA.

She is waaaaay too liberal for my liking and strongly pro-choice which I am dead against.
That's why she made my list.

Is that it ?
That's your resoning/argument for her inclusion ?
That she's a liberal from California ?!
That'll be a no then.
(Going slightly off tangent but still related:
Howard Weyers, of Weyco Inc., Michigan
Fires employees who smoke, even at home. As of 2005, his workers must submit to drug and nicotine tests. They lose their jobs if they won't take the tests, lose their jobs if they fail them. And if you're a fat employee, you get higher wages if you submit to a diet programme and, if you won't submit to a diet, you get lower wages.
Another "honourable" mention for the list I think.

-Not all women are pro choice - obviously, I'm pro-life (very strongly so)
I'm glad you're fascinated - it's better than bored !
