Whoopi Goldberg Blog and Journals

Why am I posting about this again? Because I want Sherri Shepherd to know that I am 100% convinced that she is a complete fucking idiot and that she shouldn't be on television speaking about anything ever again.

Just try and read this and comprehend it:

• Sherri Shepherd, the co-host of The View who said she didn't know if the Earth was flat or round and that she didn't care, today said she knew all along it was round. She was just having a “senior brain-poopy moment,” when Whoopie tossed her that difficult question.

IT'S NOT A DIFFICULT QUESTION, YOU MORON! THE EARTH HASN'T BEEN FLAT....EVER! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD SOMEONE DISCUSSING THE EDGE OF THE EARTH? NEVER. BECAUSE IT JUST DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.

And then, coming to her defense, is that low-life Elizabeth Hasselbeck:

• I don’t think you have to learn to be perfect either… you’re just yourself. I thought you handled that so well yesterday. You said ‘You know I actually, my mind is full of what’s my son doing right now, what am I going to feed him for dinner, I’m a mom.’ Like I think that’s completely fine to say ‘You know what, today I don’t care if the earth is round or flat. I may not care tomorrow, I just wanna know that…’

WHY ARE YOU ALLOWED ON TELEVISION?

You know what? Every day, I am bombarded by unbelievable amounts of stress. Every day, my mind is full.

Am I going to get hit by this car, who's merging to the right without a signal, even though I'm right next to him? What the hell am I going to write about today? Will anyone care to even read what I have to say? What part is going to malfunction on my bike next? Am I going to continually be broke every month? Is my mom going to stay healthy? Are the tendons and ligaments in my left knee finally going to separate from the bones and muscles, rendering me a giant mess on Sunset Blvd?

But if, at any given time, you walked up to me and asked: "Mark, do you breath air?" Or maybe, "Hey Mark, do you know if the earth rotates around the sun?" Better yet, "Mark, is the moon bigger than earth?"

Not once would my brain ever SHUT DOWN to such a level that I would completely blank on one of the basic facts regarding the planet I live on EVERY GODDAMN DAY.

Face it, Shepherd. You're a total idiot who holds tight to some of the most ass-backwards, illogical theories and you got called out on it. You had no idea if the world was flat or round because guess what? It doesn't matter. You're going to heaven because you believe in Our Lord and Savior!

I don't want this to turn into a "zomg mark is bashing christianz! zomg!" post, because I don't believe all Christians to be this ridiculous and stupid. And I know plenty of atheists and agnostics who are also giant morons. But there's something to be said for this kind of faith, the kind of faith that inhibits a person's desire to learn more about the world around them.

Is this the case with Sherri Shepherd? I'm inclined to believe so. For her to invoke the stress of her child as a reason that she doesn't know if the earth is flat or round, even if it's true, is laziness, pure and simple. Have you lost that childlike wonder, Shepherd? Do you even care what's going on around you? Or do you just believe what you're told?
