American Assholes of The Week — John And Kristi (with an "i") Schiller

Lots of good candidates and runners-up, but we have a definitive winner! Excerpted from the ridiculous NY Times article about rich assholes buying lavish tree houses for their snotty fucking kids. Be sure to check out the tacky and altogether inappropriate slide show.

In Houston, John Schiller, an oil company executive, and his wife, Kristi, a Playboy model turned blogger, custom-built a playhouse for their daughter, Sinclair, now 4. Pictured, Ms. Schiller and Sinclair outside the two-story, 170-square-foot, Cape Cod-style playhouse. “I think of it as bling for the yard,” Ms. Schiller said.

The little stainless steel sink in the kitchen has running water. The windows, which all open, have screens to keep out mosquitoes, and there are begonias in the window boxes.

The stainless steel mini fridge and freezer are stocked with juice boxes and Popsicles. Upstairs is a sitting area with a child-size sofa and chairs for watching DVDs on the 32-inch flat-screen TV. The playhouse is air-conditioned.

Closing in on 1000

Conflicted. Not sure if that's an accomplishment or an embarassment.

"Okay, so we want this to be really insipid. Like, complete pandering. So I'd like all of you to have really stupid expressions on your faces, like borederline retarded. Harrison, that's perfect! You nailed it. You're a pro! And you, Toots, kick up your leg like you're in a movie from 1960."

$30.00 Movies on Demand? Yeah, That'll Work.

Because everybody wants to pay MORE money to see crappy Hollywood movies, remakes, and sequels.

"Warner Bros., Sony, Universal and 20th Century Fox have all agreed to be involved with 'Home Premiere', the industry's official premium VOD service which is set to launch late next month reports Variety.

Movies will be offered up to rent for $30 for a 2-3 day viewing period. Titles will show up two months after their theatrical releases, depending on the distributor, and won't include films that "are still performing well at the box-office".

As far as I can tell, the ONLY factor that makes this a "Premium" service — is the ridiculous $30.00 price tag. Brilliant. So help me understand the buinsess model here, Hollywood; I can go see a movie in the theater on opening day for $10.00 — or I can see the same movie, two months later, on my TV at home, for $30.00. Awesome! Sign me up!

Lucas, Then and Now.

  I blame you.
