Alt Tv Rewind

Drew ThomasAug 24, 1999

Sorry if I seem horrifically ignorant, but I'm British, so it's got to be expected, I suppose :), but who on earth is Kathy Lee? She seems pretty damn famous in America, but no Brit that I know seems to know why she is so important?

Admiral BonesAug 24, 1999↩ Drew Thomas

Drew Thomas wrote in message ...

We Americans don't know why she is so important either. Basically she hosts a tv morning talk show with an old drunk named Regis. She received heat when her clothing line was found to be produced by sweat shops (which she claimed ignorance of) and is a frequent target of shock-jock Howard Stern. She is just generally a tv personality. And an annoying egomaniac one at that.

William LynchAug 24, 1999, 11:33 AM ET↩ Admiral Bones

Plus she is married to former football star/announcer Frank Gifford, who was lured into a honey trap & videotaped recently (couple of years ago??). Kathy Lee likes to blather on about her wonderful child, Cody, and her public persona is so sweet you're sure her sh*t doesn't stink.

George NiemannAug 24, 1999, 11:44 AM ET↩ Admiral Bones

I never thought Regis was a drunk, but now that I think of it, that has to be the reason he has stuck around "Child Exploiter" Kathy Lee for all these years.

There are plenty of reasons not to like her, but "Child Exploiter"? That's stretching it a bit. No, more than a bit.

Personally, I didn't have any feelings one way or the other about her, although hearing Gifford dote on about his family during Monday Night Football games got to be a real chore. You could tell Dan and Al were tired of it too.

But I did find some respect for Kathie Lee when she made an appearance in a Seinfeld episode. That made her A-OK in my book.

Ok. But "doting mom" is a far cry from 'child exploiter'.

I think the original slur implied something about the child labor used to manufacture her "Kathie Lee casuals" in foreign countries. As though it was just her, and not the entire industry, that utilizes such labor.

You don't think that by dragging her children out to show them off as trophies isn't exploiting them. Also telling the whole nation all the embarrassing things they do is sure to guarantee some shrink a lifetime of fee trying to straighten them out.

Anyone who does'nt think Kathy Lee Gifford is a Barb Streisand class mega bitch should have to endure one of her annual flauntfest/Holiday Specials. Why in the FUCK does the network thinks all of America wants to see her and her freak family eating lobster al fresco at an Aspen restaraunt is beyond anyone's guess.

The least they could do would be to show Frank picking up blonds at the bar during one of these 'specials'. Of course, she'd have to be paid alot. Maybe a threesome with Kathy.

You don't get it yet. Any performer that gets the South Park treatment MUST be a no-talent hack, and all *true* South Park fans MUST shun any performer, regardless of talent level and ability, that Matt and Trey choose to ridicule.

And obviously the more overblown and hateful the insult, the more Matt and Trey will enjoy it when they read it here in the newsgroup.

Well, it was an overexaggeration, but for some posters, its essense is absolutely true.

How many of these adolescent Streisand haters even have a clue about her career in the entertainment industry? Few. But it's cool to publicly hate her in this newsgroup because Cartman and the rest of the gang crack on her in a South Park episode.

Now, I'm no Streisand fan, but I at least have the sense to recognize that she has plenty of talent and ability.

I know that she's arrogant enough to think that people will shell out AT LEAST half a grand for a ticket to see her do some caterwauling onstage. That's not a testament to her talent.....it's plain f*ckin' wrong.

I don't think she's that bad (I'm just guessing) but I would guess she ranks with Chris Tarrant when he's on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. C.T. is a total bastard on that show. Typical piece of dialogue:

Chris Tarrant: How many planets are there? A: Six, B: Seven, C: Eight or D: Nine?

Unfortunate Contestant: Um...I think it's D.

Chris Tarrant: How sure are you?

Unfortunate Contestant: On a scale of one to ten, nine.

Chris Tarrant: That's pretty sure for the ï¿½125,000 question.

Unfortunate Contestant: I'm going for D.

Chris Tarrant: Are you sure?

Unfortunate Contestant: ...yes.....

Chris Tarrant: Are you sure you're sure?

Unfortunate Contestant: ....er....I think so.

Chris Tarrant: You're sure you're not wrong?

Unfortunate Contestant: Now I come to think of it, I'll go for eight.

Chris Tarrant: OK, you had ï¿½64,000...you now have just ï¿½32,000.

A big part of Philbin's problem is that he's just not a game show host. He's just learning as he goes. Maybe he'll be all right next season, but his first week with the new show was painful to watch.

There's "being proud of their children", and then there's Kathy Lee on her latest Helliday Special going "OOO! Wookit my widdow snookiwookums! Izzunt he just kyOOOT? He's so adorable and so very, very perfect [close up shot of drooling larve due to heavy sedation prior to being brought on camera]. Much more superior than YOUR little scruffy rugrats, I'll bet.

DaveAug 30, 1999, 7:01 PM ET↩ furplay

And, as I said, none of it even *remotely* compares to my comparative definition of 'exploitation'. Look, you can hate her all you want. You can insult her and ridicule how excessively fond she is of her children, but you're way off base here. How you can compare even the most doting parents to sweat shop administrators is simply beyond my comprehension.

Unless maybe it's just 'cool' to hate her because Matt and Trey happened
to choose her as one of their objects of ridicule?

Did you ever see pictures of Jon Bonet? Holy hopped-up christ... I've seen less makeup on Camden hookers. There is something seriously wrong with parents that dress up their children in evening gowns and enter them in beauty contests. It's practically like watching kiddie porn for child molesters.

To have children in competition at such a young age is bad enough, but when they dress them up like adults and put them through beauty competitions... that's not right, man... not right at all.

Fortunately, there's a very low percentage of child molesters in the general population. I'm not saying I agree with the thinking behind these sorts of pageants, I just don't agree with the dimestore psychology behind the "showing the world what perfect little breeders they were by the quality of their offspring" comment.

Dressing up your children; not wrong.

I totally agree!!!! When I was young, little girl pageants had cute little girls with curls wearing frilly dresses. When I saw the video of Jon Bonet on TV, I thought they had inadvertently run a clip of some hooker convention. How anyone could dress their child that way and have her shaking her fanny in front of people should be compared to purveyors of kiddy porn. These people were (and are) sick.
