Random Rant: Green Guide Reviewer Barbara Hooks

You know, I have a real problem with a certain reviewer in the Green Guide (that's the local TV guide for those playing at home). Her name is Barbara Hooks, and she's a sexist. Pure and simple. Somebody once said that women can't be sexist, but she can. In a review for "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", she came right out and said "all straight guys are slobs". As a straight guy myself, I'm disturbed by this comment and its extreme generalization.
In a review for "The Apprentice", she said that, when they did a "corporate reshuffle" due to one team (the guys) losing all the contests, that they would not have reshuffled if the girls had been losing. That's complete crap. Has she actually watched any of the "Survivor" shows... that happen to be produced by exactly the same guy? She also said that "one of the guys exploded into a "hissy fit"". I've watched every episode of the Apprentice, and in the episode that she was reviewing, there were no real "hissy fits" that I could notice. The one "hissy fit" was a joke that one of the guys made about them losing so badly.

The gist of what I'm trying to show is that bigots can be of any gender, color, and religon(or lack thereof).
