One bad apple can ruin the bunch .. Yahoo has one, in my opinion

Good Bye, YAHOO, going to use it a little as possible. Why, you ask? Well, I have never been a "Katie" Couric fan. Years ago, we were watching her on something, and molasses, seeped out of the bottom of our TV. It ruined our TV. It was then that I realized just how "cutsie and  sugary and sweet" she actually tried to be. I made it a point to not watch anything she was involved in, again.

I also found that I "ground" my teeth when she was on, and actually had three new sets made before I realized what the problem actually was. Since not watching her I have not replaced my present dentures.

Why anyone would hire her is a mystery to me. She once was actually hired by the DSB to do some commercials, until one computer operator, who had sight, explained her to them, and the Department for Service to the Blind did not use her in the fundraising effort. They referred her to Mental Health for a campaign and they too, rejected her. So, she went to Yahoo.

Fortunately, we can shut her off. I would love to see her do a lengthy interview with Leonardo DiCaprio, and explain the plot to his movie, The Wolf of Wall Street, while the entire movie is playing on a clearly visible screen to the pair.

Speaking of that movie, my wife saw it was Four Stars, and rented it, and watched it last night. I am in no way a "prude." Spent a number of years in Nevada, saw it all there, actually, with an acquaintance, lined up "entertainment" for some "high rollers" and a few affluent locals, been married a number of times, and in no way have led a sheltered life. I did not watch that whole flick, little to NO humor, 92.7% vulgarity, it would make a "porno queen" blush, and on a scale from 1 to 100, Entertainment Value = 0. I don't know why anyone would even want to admit that they appeared in it.

Bogey, Clark, Burt, Cary, and all, on their behalf, I apologize. The industry has not degenerated to that level to attract customers.
