gag me

that's the only way to describe my reaction to the overblown, saccharine-filled farewell to katie couric on today yesterday. it truly killed me. disgustingly, i watched the entire thing at work, it was quite sad. like a thousand montages of katie's styles, accomplishments, athletic prowess, dancing skills, goofiness... you name it, they covered it. i don't mind katie couric, i think she made a great morning show host. i think her work to advance colon cancer is remarkable. i just wish that she and her execs would have realized how excessive all of yesterday seemed. i understand maybe devoting the last hour or a part of each hour, but all three hours!! katie actually described it best - ad nauseum
