Hero of the Week: Leslie Knope
I love the show Parks & Recreation, though I wasn't a fan when it first premiered. Now I can't get enough! I've re-watched the entire series on Netflix and am a faithful prime-time viewer. I consistently laugh out loud for almost a full 30 minutes every Thursday at 9:30pm. The reason the star of this fantastic show makes the list this week is because of a very special episode in Season 2 called "St. Galentine's Day." In this episode, Leslie introduces us to the beautiful tradition of Galentine's Day: every February 13, gather together for brunch to celebrate all of the wonderful women in your life. During her Galentine's brunch, Leslie presents each of her gals with hand-crocheted flower pens, a 5000-word essay about why the recipient is special, and a mosaic portrait made from pieces of each woman's favorite soda bottle. Personally, I have been blessed with so many strong and beautiful women in my life. According to Leslie, this weekend is the time to honor them!
Villain of the Week: NBC News at 11
I don't normally watch this station because I like to watch Bob Ryan on ABC and the adorable Craig Melvin only anchors on the weekends, but for some reason I watch the NBC News at 11 this week. Of course, there was a lot of negative news that was a huge bummer, but that's not why this station is a villain. It makes the list because the presentation of their stories is ridiculous. Rather than showing related video footage while the anchor reads the story or just keeping the camera on the anchor, this program shows generic clip art and adds key words in quotation marks as the story is read. See the words "divorce" "foreclosure" and "toast" flash across the screen is not all that informative. It just looks cheap and stupid. For serious.
That's it for this week's edition! Be sure to check out JA Greetings's newest online shop: http://jagreetings.ecrater.com!
