punk'd out

i caught a preview on television this evening of some movie starring an overly-tatted justin timberlake which made me probe the obvious questions regarding the validity of a movie willing to star everyone's favourite mousketeer. as the preview ended i sat, stunned, feeling as though i must had just been punk'd by mr. moore. it occurred to me moments later that my favorite justin timberlake moment is watching him bawl to his mommy while the punk'd irs repossess all his stuff. please be aware that i am in no way condoning the show punk'd or it's creator - the show is absolutely awful. kutcher and his clan of cronies blew their load on the timberlake episode and have never come close to matching it's caliber. their faces (token trucker hats included) plastered all over hollywood for half a second provided all the warning the rest of the 'beautiful people' needed to catch on to these pseudo-jackass wannabe's game. by the second season kutcher had become obsolete, leaving his face and voice behind for hosting purposes. the cast had to be refreshed in a desperation attempt to revive the element of surprise to the show. quickly running out of ideas and celebrities to punk they turned to us, the public, for continued 'quality programming:' punking the everyday teenage girl shopping with her friends or a random guy just trying to take his date to dinner. punk'd had suddenly become candid camera. punk'd had punked out. still punking the occasional b or c list celebrity, the cast and crew couldn't live up to the challenge they had set for themselves - punking the currently famous icons. any idiot can plan on pulling a practical joke on an everyday jack or jill, but it takes a sly hand and a conniving mind to punk those people we all want to watch cry to their mommies. a truly successful punk should be well researched, developed and then brilliantly unleashed on it's prey. why not punk donald trump by locking out his bank accounts and canceling all his credit cards? now that would be a punk to be proud of. instead the show is a nothing more than a bunch of punks who are only punking themselves. i suppose kutcher and company had two options; punk out or man up - thank you for punking out and saving us all from your shit programming.
