ABC Family – ABC’s younger sister, ABC Family loves appealing to teenage audiences. She’s put on a daring show, undermining her “family” aspect, The Secret Life of the American Teenager. ABC Family enjoys overplaying animated movies, and putting on the same front every holiday.

ESPNESPN is the proud father of many chilren, bearing branched names. He presents you with sports every day and will not be called a sissy. ESPN is manly and he knows it, sucking up every possible amount fo time from the average husband’s day, leaving wives unhappy and doing housework…Which leads us to our next channel.

HGTV – The gnarled wife of ESPN, HGTV has dedicated her life to home decorating, gardening, remodeling, etc. and staying as far away from sports as possible. She markets a modern, stylish lifestyle, and has competitors such as the diy network and FLN. When you’re around HGTV, you have the sudden urge to decorate bookshelves with useless knick knacks and buy multi-use home furnishings. Basically, Martha Stewart just threw up on you.

Comedy Central – Comedy Central is the class clown. He has his fair share of friends and his fair share of enemies, like that hot chick next door’s dad, who frowns upon CC’s frequent use of curse words and the fact that he lives in South Park. CC presents his bros with other funny people, whom you could easily rip jokes off of and make your friends think you’re funnier than you actually are.

CNN – Ashton Kutcher beat her at a “game” of twitter. She may never get to live that down, but CNN still continues to do what she’s been doing for years – giving people horrible news and making them feel worse, with the occasional uplifting spurt of good news being done in a place you’ve never heard of.

Whiny inmate

I worked at a prison as a corrections officer (prison guard) and there was a particular inmate there who always complained about everything. For three months I endured his rants on how the lights were too bright, the rooms too hot, the blankets too scratchy, and so on. Obviously this is prison and no one gets luxury accommodations. I reached the end of my rope one morning... Read More » when I had to go down the run and wake him up at 7 AM for transport somewhere else in the state for a medical procedure. The guy is all grumpy, complaining about how I'm getting him up at the "ass crack of dawn." He demanded to be allowed time to take a shower, heat and drink some coffee and have a smoke. The van taking him away was already waiting for him and I knew for a fact that he'd taken a shower before going to bed the night before. I told him there wasn't time for any of that, he just had to get dressed and get to the van. He begins swearing and ranting about how inhumanely we were treating him and after months of his complaints I couldn't hold it in anymore. "I know, it sucks how early you have to get up to get your free medical care, huh?" I told him. He was immediately silent . He got dressed and left in a huff. I later found out how he wrote a grievance to the warden about my comment. Inmate complaints are occasionally reason for worry, so I was nervous when the warden called me in to his office. It turned out he just thought my comment was hilarious and told me to keep up the good work.
