More Brian Williams Lovin'

Filed under: Personally Perez > Media Minute

You can read The New York Times AND PerezHilton.com too!

Tuesday morning, we spoke to cultural critic and icon Camille Paglia on NPR, and she admitted that she visits this website regularly, as does Brian Williams.

He probably comes to catch up on his Couric-bashing!

The NBC nightly news host recently spoke to NYU's journalism department, where he said:

"If we’re all watching cats flushing toilets, what aren’t we reading? What great writer are we missing? What great story are we ignoring? This is societal, it’s cultural, I can’t change it. … Like everybody else, I can burn an hour on YouTube or Perez Hilton without breaking a sweat. And what have I just not paid attention to that 10 years ago I would’ve just consumed?"

Hey. We're better than cats flushing toilets!!

People need an escape from reality and all the depressing events in the news, so they turn to Perez, Youtube and other sites for a laugh.

I'm pretty sure he's comparing societies obsession with celebrity and devoting time on sites like this one with 'watching cats flushing toilets." It was not meant as a compliment.
Jennifer says – reply to this

That is the best compliment you could have gotten, Perez. Even though it's backhanded.

I don't know about you, Pez Man, But I'm sooo not above cats flushing toilets, although, when I'm sitting on the toilet, I tend to reach for Nitzche rather than read your blog, but only because his books weigh less than the laptop and cost less to replace if I should suffer a wiping mishap. glub glub

It is because our world is in such a terrible state, (Due to our terrible, awful President), that we need something to take us away now and then, to not keep worrying about getting bombed on our way to the office, or how many babies we are responsible for killing this week in the Middle East, or do I fill up my gas tank or buy food this week, (THe US economy sucks for MOST of the country), or how we are doing nothing to stop the tragedy that is Darfur, or how our Country, (The USA), is not leading the fight to stop Global Warming, etc.
Perez, you are good for us…we need a break sometimes from all the horror and pressures of our current world. Thank you for what you do…You keep me out of therapy for sure. We all need to laugh sometimes.

Perez baby, pleeease read some Camille Paglia before you start touting her. While she's cool in some ways, despite proclaiming herself a feminist in her academic papers and publications addressing the subject she claims that no matter the situation that the victim of rape is always to blame. More than a little offensive, non?

What's wrong with cats flushing toilets? That sounds pretty entertaining to me! I love how someone like Brian Williams passes judgment like that. It's hilarious. You can't really judge content, really.

He says he likes to listens to Cat Power, but gets suicidal doing so.

He is the coolest anchorman ever.

I LOVEEE Brian Williams, this a classy guy. But the day that you know you made it Perez, is the day Bill O'Reilly will talk about you.—ha ha ha ha ha ha …You may not like him, but the guy have the highest rating show on television.

And who knows, maybe he likes gays.- Anything it's possible.
DUH ! says – reply to this

The Decline of Western Civilation. Tell Brian - its a slippery, slimy race-to-the-bottom. Its a long way down and we haven't hit rock bottom. Society is being dummied-down, pornographied, scatologized and gutterized !! Dumb-ditty-dumb, dumb, dumb!! There will be a back lash - sooner or later.

Even though I myself come to your site every day, I don't think Brian meant it as a "shout out" to you.

Yes, the world is a mess.
Yes, the current US White House if full of criminals and terrorists.
Yes, Bush and Cheney should be impeached at the insistence of the American people.
Yes, GE owned NBC censored the broadcast of Live Earth by editing out Melissa Etheridge's ROCKING and THOUGHT PROVOKING set because of their financial interest in the war.
….and yet, Perez is one more hand that feeds us distractions that Bush celebrates because it keeps you all numb to what's happening RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.

Uhhh??? I don't think he meant that as a compliment to this site or its readers.

I just waste time on this site while I'm waiting for MY cat to flush the toilet, but he won't cooperate. Anyone for a Youtube vid of a cat flushed in the toilet?

Yes, and ten years ago we didn't have instant access to all the newspapers in the UK, every public library online, all the museums, Google and NASA at the click of a mouse. If we are getting dumber quicker, we are also getting smarter easier.

Camille Paglia is the bigger win for you perez. She is an intelectual who considers pop culture relevent and art, classical art being the pop art of its day. Very inteligent woman. Controversial as well amongst her fellow feminists.

I heard you on NPR yesterday on my drive in to the dentist and was upset that I wouldn't be able to hear the rest of the interview. To my delight, the hygienist listens to NPR and I got to keep listening to you and NPR, two of my favorite things!
nomi malone says – reply to this

56

ugh! fucking camille paglia! the fact that that bitch reads perez is one of the single most convincing reasons i've found to give up my guilty pleasure cold turkey. anyone who pronounces feminism dead (repeatedly!) AND counts 'basic instinct' among her favorite films (claiming that it's totally pro-gay, you guys!) has got to be rejected. she's a horrible person and i don't know why people still take her seriously.

Omg. I seen him on kimmel and he mentioned you guys. And he has excellent taste in music too. He's seriously a dreamy, even if I'm only 21. I can be attracted to him!

FORGET ANDY COOP, IT'S ABOUT BRYWILLS.

What he is trying to say is that people used to read litterature and real newspapers but the daily reading for people now is gossip blogs, if you want to see that as a good thing then…
