A 'Guide' to Understanding the Food Network
UPDATE: Do not bother clicking through the link here. Apparently, it is not funny. —AK, 8/9/2009
Longing for Cinnabon and Diet Cherry Dr Pepper?
LOL. Food Network Humor, true to its name, offers a satirical list titled "Understanding the Food Network." These are little known "facts" that will help you "understand why the Food Network is the way it is":
The Neelys: They are brother and sister. They just play a married couple.
Sandra Lee: She feels that she is a woman trapped in a woman’s body.
Tyler Florence: He is extremely sensitive to the fact that his first name is a common last name and his last name is a common woman’s first name.
The Chairman of Iron Chef: He is not a gourmand and his favorite food is Cinnabon washed down with Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper.
With riffs on Guy Fieri, Rachael Ray, Jeffrey Steingarten, Paula Deen and sons, and more.

Augh. I found myself feeling embarrrassed to read it about halfway through. That feeling you get while sitting through a horrible wedding toast, or better yet, a horrible roast of Mel from accounting..
Blahhhhh.

I love Food Network Humor. It has some hilarious items, but this one was kind of juvenile and not funny. Not sure why you would highlight it rather than one of the actually funny posts.

"The Neelys: They are brother and sister. They just play a married couple."
