The Bottom Three are Brett Favre, Ali Larter and Stories about Swine Flu

Brett Favre, Ali Larter and Swine Flu all have the same effect on me recently. Every time they come on my television screen they ruin whatever show I am watching. I have committed myself to watching Heroes even though it has not been that good since season one. I knew from the start that the [...]
