Bob Parsons, CEO of Go Daddy, Shoots Elephant in Africa
By now this video of Mr. Bob Parsons, the CEO of Go Daddy, shooting an elephant in Zimbabwe has become quite popular. According to the ABC15 news reporter, “…this video has so many people outraged….” If you watch the video, it is mentioned that the "villagers butchered the elephant for its meat." What I absolutely hate, is hunters who hunt and do not eat their kill. Do people feel differently depending on what type of animal is killed? Would people be outraged if his proud kill was a 300-pound tuna?
Personally it does not thrill me to see ANY animal killed or butchered, and if I had to watch such a thing, I would definitely be a vegetarian. I think if elephants are truly overpopulated in Africa as Mr. Parsons states, they SHOULD be hunted. Would he have been able to obtain a permit if elephants were an endangered species in Zimbabwe? Overpopulation is one reason that we, here in the United States, have Fish and Game Departments – to control what is overrun and needs to be hunted. As I understand, Mr. Parsons did have a permit to shoot this elephant. If the meat of the elephant was not eaten, that would be an entirely different story. Would the reactions be the same if Mr. Parsons shot a deer or moose or are people only “outraged” because it is an elephant – an animal we like to visit at the zoo?
If you have ever taken a drive across Interstate 90 in Massachusetts or the Taconic in upper New York State you would know that area is overrun with deer. Every time I am in that vicinity, I wish there were less deer, and pray I don’t hit one with my car. Yes, deer are beautiful. I'm sure the people who hit them don't think they are so beautiful, especially when they get the bill from their auto body shop! It is a staggering amount of live ones and dead ones I see all over the sides of the highway.
Unfortunately for Mr. Parsons, he is a well-known CEO who, it appears, the media and PETA are trying to make into some sort of example. How many elephants have been shot in the past year in Africa and by whom? If John Doe shoots an elephant, does it make it into the media? What is your opinion? Are you outraged?

Charlie Sheen Parody - Bi-Winning (Official Song)
And this one is even funnier!!! Does Charlie have any idea what a dumba** he looks like? The sad part is, everyone is laughing at him and he seems to be totally clueless.

One and a Half Men - Charlie Sheen
I am not so sure how Charlie Sheen figures that being fired from Two and a Half Men is "winning." I just heard this morning on GMA that Charlie was fired yesterday from Two and a Half Men for, among other reasons, his inability to perform including not remembering his lines. Still not seeing how that is "winning." Charlie - please stop saying you are "winning" when you CLEARLY are not!
Personally, I'm glad to hear he's been fired. I hope for the sake of the others on the show, actors and behind-the-scene workers, they replace Charlie rather than cancelling the show. They have a wonderful meld of actors that would be a shame to waste.
Aside from my car crash idea, another idea might be to replace him with a woman. The show would open with a hot, funny woman (although I don't know who, yet, maybe a previous girlfriend excluding Mia or Chelsea) knocking on the door at Charlie's Malibu beach-house. Alan answers the door and she proceeds to tell him Charlie died in a crash on the way back from Las Vegas. The prenuptual agreement she had Charlie sign gives her the Malibu house.

Boycotting Two and a Half Men
It didn't bother me to know Charlie Sheen's character, Charlie Harper, on Two and a Half Men was a portrayal of Charlie Sheen in his real life - the drinker, the gambler, the womanizer. To find out the real Charlie Sheen is hateful, vindictive and wishes bad on everyone around him, well that does bother me.
Two and a Half Men has been one of my and my husband's favorite shows -- from watching reruns that we've probably seen at least three times each, to the new ones on Monday night. Two and a Half men was up there with Everybody Loves Raymond and Seinfeld in the comedy department. Who doesn't need a good laugh? I must say, though, it has lost something. Maybe it's just a carryover from the recent bad news involving Charlie Sheen. His father said, "If he had cancer, how would we treat him?..." I would hope if he had cancer, he would at least be trying to help himself by getting the (medical) help he needs.
By now, everyone has heard Charlie Sheen's rant. Personally, I am saddened as I listen to Charlie's rude comments, laced with such anger and arrogance. It is heartbreaking to hear anyone with such anger; but worse is his pompous, ostentatious attitude. I don’t like hearing comments like "contaminated little maggot” when they are directed at someone. What a disappointment to hear the real Charlie. Who does he think he is?
I will be officially boycotting Two and a Half Men, new or old. Sometimes I need to stand up for what is right; it is off my television watching list! Unless, of course, Charlie is replaced. How about this for a storyline: Alan places Charlie’s drunk, passed-out body in Alan’s car and pushes him off a cliff. The body is so mangled, everyone thinks it is Alan. Alan then gets a “Charlie” mask that he wears each day pretending to be Charlie. This would go along with the current storyline with Alan milking all his friends/relatives. Then I would watch the show again….and everyone lives happily ever after!
Would Two and a Half Men make it without Charlie Sheen? Probably not. Would I like to see it move on without Charlie Sheen? Definitely! Would I watch it if Charlie Sheen were not in it? Another, definitely! Would the ratings go down? Probably, if not definitely. I would watch it to make a point; Charlie Sheen is as dispensable as the rest of us!
During this boycott, I will enjoy such great comedies as Rules of Engagement, Big Bang Theory, Mike and Molly, How I Met Your Mother and The Defenders. Okay, I threw the last one in to see if you were paying attention. I believe it is billed as a drama, but it’s a good one and quite funny at times!
