When FN is late to the party and always trying to create their own ripoff, er, version of some other channel’s popular show, it doesn’t surprise me in the least that they now have their own version of Spencer and Heidi.

I am so saddened by the mean-spiritedness shown here. I actually know the PERSON you are all quick to judge here. The first word that comes to mind when I think of Brendan is “kind”. He is also one of the most generous souls I’ve ever met. He and Aarti have a beautiful marriage and they would be the first to help a friend (or a stranger) if needed. Brendan has been posting videos ALMOST DAILY for YEARS. He has shown lifelong dedication to his passion and even if you aren’t a fan of it, you should know that he works harder than most people. He would also NEVER post a cruel word about someone on a forum. And by the way, the birthday video was clearly a joke. They have a great relationship with their parents.

The fact that I’m responding to this is almost as disheartening and self-loathe-inducing than the fact that I even wasted a minute reading this tripe. Why even write this “article?” Oh wait – it’s a blog – right – code for “mind-melting drivel”. But it’s your constitutional right to have an opinion and voice it – just as it’s Brendan’s to be who he is and not have to answer to a stone-throwing, uninformed peanut-gallery. Why all the hate and judgment, people? Oh – that’s right – because it’s much easier to find fault in others and project negativity into the world than it is to work on one’s own problems or look for positivity in the world. Criticism is one thing – but unbridled, zealous, unprovoked hatred is just shameful.

If this is a “humor” sight, then how about writing something HUMOROUS – not defamatory, insensitive and blatantly hurtful. I happen to know Brendan – he’s not my brother or best friend or anything, but I know him – and I know this much about him: he’s a good guy, a genuine guy, an intelligent guy, a spirited guy, a thoughtful guy, and yes – GOD-FORBID – a unique guy . . . unlike you so-called “fans” (aka sheep) who have been conditioned by our tabloid culture to mindlessly star-f*ck until the media orders you to tear them apart, only to build them back up again when it makes YOU feel good.

A week ago, none of you gave a sh*t about Aarti – but OF COURSE now that she’s got a TV show, you purport to know with whom she should be in love, and dictate how they should behave?!? Bottom line: She loves her husband and he loves her. Period. What else is there to talk about?!? If she weren’t on TV, you wouldn’t even care who she were married to – so get a life and go fix your own broken relationship or find a healthy one of your own. Odds are if you were in one, you’d be happy for them – not ripping them apart.

With any luck, you’ll wreck the lives of two very kind, perfectly happy people. Be proud, you bottom-feeding scum of the earth.

I watched today’s episode of Aahhhti Paahhty. (missed last weeks) And the show was sort of ok, too much giggling and all in all sort of boring. But I didn’t pick too much of a condescending attitude (sugar is sweet, etc) that so many complained about last week.

But a few details nagged at me and reinforced my thought that
Aahti is one HUGE phoney. I noticed on her blog she pushed these gluten free pretzels that she grounds up and uses as a coating. Supposedly she is aflicted with celiac and so has to avoid gluten. One of of the videos I watched on her blog she made curried popcorn, explaining that she is lactose intolerant and so substituted curry and cumin (what else????) to add flavor to replace the missing butter.

Ok, fine , many people have these disorders and the celiac, in particular is very difficult to work around.

But on todays’s show she made “huggy buggy bread pudding” Would you eat something with that name?????? I wouldn’t. Also she stuffed her chicken breasts with butter. OK Aahhti, would about your food disorders????? Are they in the same category as your accent, something just used to get attention and have people thinking how brave you are?

She gobbled down some of the chicken and added a scoop of ice cream to her disgusting bread pudding (actually the pudding didn’t look that bad but the name remains gross).
So whats the deal with your celiac and lactose intolerance.

Phoney, I say.
