WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: WHITE TRASH
12.22.09Teen Mom (MTV) — In a departure from the judgment she displayed over the previous year, Catelynn decides it would be best for her daughter to put her up for adoption. (Note: I kinda feel bad using the term “white trash” because it sounds small-minded and even racist, but these screen caps from the trailer don’t lie.
Yup, that’s a wifebeater, a gray mullet, a handlebar mustache, and a cigarette tucked behind Grandpa’s ear. The defense rests, your honor.)
Dirty Jobs (Discovery) — Mike goes to Florida to harvest clams. Heh. Yeah, I bet he does.
Britain’s Missing Top Model (BBC America) — A modeling competition for amputees. You know someone at TLC got fired for not thinking of this first.
Las Vegas Bowl (ESPN) — BYU versus Oregon State. Beavers are one of the very few things that can defeat Mormons. Recommended reading: the charming preview at Every Day Should Be Saturday.
Bad Girls Club (Oxygen) — File under: shows that would be way better as porn.
The Jay Leno Show (NBC) — Oh, loogit here: Dane Cook shows up to race a car on Leno’s track. Long story short, that’s why our country has gun laws.
STAT OF THE DAY: Number of hours of TLC programming between 8:00 p.m. and midnight that feature a number greater than 10 in the title of the show: 3 (the other hour is dedicated to little people).


Funny thing is, the redneck that you pointed out … he’s the “grandfather” that was trying to prevent the teens from putting their baby up for adoption. Even though he can barely take care of himself and his teenage son. The maturity of those 2 teens as compared to their parents was shocking.
White Trash is what I call my sperm.
I’m sterile.
Mormans and White Trash: The ends of the caucasian spectrum.
I apologise. It’s gone 10pm over here, am pretty sozzed, and did not read it correctly.

Actually, Smegga, the quote is “Catelynn decides it would be best for her daughter to put her up for adoption.”
Since “her daughter” comes after “Catelynn,” the reader is to assume that “her” refers to “her daughter.” You seem to have inferred a misplaced modifier where there’s none.
Catelynn’s daughter puts her mum up for adoption? Really?
God bless America!
