Boycott The Oscars

Sunday's telecast of the ceremonies formerly known as the Academy Awards will not have visited upon it  the eyes of this King.   Any moments worth viewing will be online on Monday anyway.  We will pass on this one largely due to the fact that the Oscars, which how the Academy now chooses to refer to it's yearly exercise, is obviously catering to the 18 to 49 year old demographic.  What that means is that those of us who have been raised better, and those who should be raised better, have been betrayed by amoral garbage that poses as entertainment these days.  We do not care if we are dated, as class and dignity know no chronological boundaries.   We will look forward to seeing the uber talented Shirley Bassey  perform and reminisce about her powerful, powerful rendition of  " Goldfinger ", which has her, and only her's DNA all over it.  What a class act.        Seth McFarlane was obviously chosed for the younger set, and his pathetic film, TED, with it's low scatalogical humorless humor, if there is such a thing.  He loves the camera, yet we are unsure if the camera loves him.    Having all of the Bonds, James Bonds in the auditorium at the same time should be a mind trip. Lastly this has been astrange last few months, with Hurricane Sandy, then Sandy Hook.  Now, Oscar Pretorius, and now  The Oscars.  Weird.  HRM
