One Of These Things Has Retained Its Dignity

By John Carney


This is from the other day but, uh, perhaps there are one or two of you out there who don’t regularly watch Fox Business’s (fingers crossed) Emmy Award-winning “Happy Hour,” produced at the Waldorf’s Bull & Bear. I came across this segment while searching for a piece someone told me the show did yesterday on particle theory. But before I could find it, my eyes landed on this one, entitled, “Teenage NASCAR.” Who among us would be able to resist? None, myself included. Cody and Rebecca interview 17-year-old Joey Logano about the financial component of racing and what it’s like to be NASCAR jailbait (they also get him absolutely shitfaced and then request a spin in his 750 horsepower racing machine, which is just good TV). That’s not what I want you to focus on though. I want you to focus on Cody’s jacket. Watch it like you’ve never watched a jacket before. Watch it with the sound on, watch it with the sound off. Watch it on a boat, watch it with a goat. Watch it in the rain, watch it on a train. Watch it in a box, watch it with a fox. Watch it in a house, watch it with a mouse. Then start a letter writing campaign to Fox Business, petitioning that Cody Willard has to wear that jacket on every network appearance for the remainder of his contract. Then take a gander at this thing, which is equally mind-blowing and worthy of your time. You’ll want to plug your headphones in.

    You’re so right about the headphones. That’s one of the most moving peices of music I’ve ever encountered.

    Ive seen this show, its pathetic to put it mildly. The only redeeming factor is the smokin hot chick who wears nothing. I wouldnt let the guy pick up my dry cleaning, he was arguing about Buffetts investment in Petro China the other day, set us back 100 years

    i think that is the ugliest man i have ever seen with a tv show. i can’t think of anyone uglier that was chosen specifically to be put in front of a camera.

    Imus was on radio first bro. So he was not chosen specifically to be put in front of a camera. Your attention to detail is astounding, and your powers of deduction, unmatched.

    Bess, clearly you don’t understand that Jimmie Johnson, much like Jeff Gordon, is a driver that only communists and hippies cheer for.
