Is Blog Talk Radio the Most Vain Thing Ever?

It seems like everyone and their mother has a blog talk radio show at this point, well everyone that blogs on MySpace. I think people get to a point where they have nine people reading them and decide it is time to branch out. Hey I get it, people want to try new things, there is nothing wrong with that. The problem though is in the execution…

Don’t get me wrong there are a handful of shows that I have heard that are decent, mostly it is because they go out and get guests, be it independent writers or musicians. But most of them are just exercises in vanity, mostly what you would expect from the usual suspects. Where they go on, talk about themselves and the sycophants follows, stroking their ego. They think it is their stepping stone into radio, but in reality if anyone that listens to a cut of their show isn’t one of their readers the shows comes off as too “inside” and ego driven. So it just shows that the show is an exercise in vanity that it makes it impossible for people unfamiliar with their stuff to enjoy it.

Let me draw you up a sample show of 90% of the shows that are out there:

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, my blog, me, me, me, me, me, me, myblog, me, me, me, me, me,this is my only way to gain acceptance because mommy didn’t like me, me, me, me, my blog, me, me, me, me… Let co-host talk about me.

Me, me, me, midgets having sex, me, me, time to take a call.

Caller Ivy from Chicago, stroke ego, stroke ego, stroke ego, stroke ego, hang up.
Me, me, me, me, me, I strangle myself while masturbating, me, me, me, me, my blog, me, I’m great, me, me.

Caller 2, my sister, trying to pretend to be someone else, stroke ego, stroke ego, stroke ego, hang up.

(A random picture of Amy Winehouse)

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, say something else that isn’t halfway intelligent, me, me, me, dolphin rape, me, me, me.

Another caller that sounds strangely like Ivy but gives a different name, when in fact it is Ivy but was asked by the host to call in again so their show didn’t come off as unpopular.

Me, me, me, me, I’m vapid, me, me, me.

Rinse and repeat.

Now if you like that stuff, well then more power to you, but I would think for you think for yourselfers out there it would be a tad bit grating.

So with that being said, I am going to be a guest on a blog talk radio show tonight!!!!! Robbie Friedman has offered asked me to go on his show, so instead of watching my typical hours of porn on Thursday (what I have begun to affectionately call ‘multiple manifestations of masturbating midgets Thursday”) I figured I would be a guest.
