ED Stands for more than Evil Dick

ED Stands for more than Evil Dick by Roxanne McDonald

Of course, it also means erectile dysfunction, but should we go there? No need, for there aint no potency issues, here.

I was all set to do a smirky recap of the 7th aired episode of Big Brother 8, but so many, who are much funnier and much

more detailed, have not only already done so but have gone ahead and written on the continuation of the episode—the live feeds.

Not to cast any spoilers into the overpopulated seas of BB8, I plan to stick to discussing or complaining about little dumb shit.

First, I love how Dick’s name has taken on several evolutions already—from Dick [which I surmise is from Richard] to Evil Dick to Evil to ED. I love more how Joe got the boot over Dick and even MORE how Dick won HoH!

Yahah. Take that, beeyatches.

Next, I already couldn’t stand that the freak with the self-importance of a security guard believing she is a full-fledged cop had named herself all kinds of misnomers- Jenius, Jenuine…, you remember, but that now she has somehow gotten the Diva moniker.

Okay, in the ugliest sense of the word, yeah. But a Diva really earns that title: she is talented, skilled, beautiful, perfectionistic, and productive. This Jen is, as far as I have seen, none of the above.

So the voiceover narrator for BB8 needs to come up with some other pop term.

That gets me to appreciating how the reality TV show and constituents have so closely modeled Orwellianspeak that the contestants have taken to manipulating language in kind, as much as they manipulate each other.

But this we saw more with Will and Boogie, who brought us “showmance” and “Operation Double Date,” for example.

But I have already waxed philosophical about the whole Orwell-and-how-could-you subject yourself to such futuristic

realities as being tracked every minute…. So I shall go back to what else they are doing with names.

Oh, yeah, there’s “The Man in the Middle, the boyfriend stealer, or the object or pawn in the game that was Dustin versus Joe.

And he doesn’t look (in interview) to be all that delighted about the new moniker.

Then there’s Am-ERIC-a, our boy mouthpiece, our shill, our figurehead, our puppet, our toy.

And what a good little boy toy he is, obeying the wishes of the people even better than some of our most respected politicians. [Er, if that’s not an oxymoron….]

And who is CRAGNESS? It certainly sounds like a coinage of Agnes and, I don’t know, Craig? But who the hell are they?

And why has none of us come up with the most obvious for the most recent dearly departed: Joe Blow?

Cause that he did and that he does—exit-interviewing that Jen and everybody with Jen wanted him to stay: was that past past tense, Joe Blow? Cause as you MIGHT recall, the votes to get you evicted came down to 9 to 1. And Kail was the one.

Let’s celebrate the loss of Joe Blow and the reigning and ensured successes (vindications, etc.) of ED, who is far from representative of the medical disorder that suggests a limp and losing potency.

GO DICK, GO!
