Herald News Heckling and Reality TV: Joliet Style

In last week's Herald News, columnist Tim Placher wrote a column mocking Joliet restaurants that while very critical of Joliet and somewhat mean spirited, cracked my shit up, mostly for the implication that the only alcoholic beverage Jolietans order at restaurants is beer. Many, many of Joliet's finest wrote back to defend our fair town; my personal favorite entry stated that Mr. Placher had "big kahunas."

The other news of the day was that I was checking around on TV tonight and flipped past a reality show on UPN called "America's Top Models" or something like that. Oddly enough, one of the "contestants" was a 20 year old girl from. . .JOLIET! Her name is Adrianne, and according to Courtney's mom, she was talking about how she enjoyed cow tipping back home. Ok, who cow tips in Joliet? I'm hoping this girl is a good representative of J-town, the show was pretty funny so I may have to keep up with it. Hasta luego.
