This Jared, from the show Kid Nation. I love this show. There are maybe three or four really spazzy kids on there, but Jared reigns supreme in my book.
His antics include:
Reciting a monologue from Shakespeare's Henry V in the talent show
Pimping himself out (hat and stick included) in western duds from the town's general store
Locking himself in a jail cell to protest the inclusion of another town spaz, Nathan, on his team
Anyway, he rocks.
I also wanted to ask that anyone in support of the WGA being on strike to join me in boycotting any upcoming scab programming that starts airing as original episodes run out. This includes anything that is aired in place of what would have been an original episode of your favorite scripted shows, including repeats. There will probably be some crappier-than-usual game shows and reality or celebrity-dancing-competition-type shows they try to use as replacements, too. As tonight is the final new episode of The Office that will air, for me this starts very soon and very sadly. But, I really believe that the network heads will not do the right thing by the writers until they start to actually feel the pinch from lost ad revenue due to declining ratings.
Also, don't watch your shows online!! The writers, actors, directors, etc. don't get paid when you watch online, but the network does.
There are lots of things you can do in your away-from-tv-time. Take a class, play a board game, have more sex, go out with friends, throw a dinner party, read a book, watch a Netflix, have a "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah", etc. So look at it as an opportunity and not a chore!
If you're with me, give me a call and let's hang out for some tv-less fun!
