Dr. G == Total Asshattery

Motivated by my own mention of Discovery Health, I turned it on last night for a few rarely-sought hours in front of the tube. I wasn't feeling well for whatever reason, and I was too uncomfortable to sleep, too uncomfortable to read. What could take less effort than watching TV?

I haven't watched TV for a few months. (That excludes when Marlie comes over, because she's an absolute TV junkie who needs it on for background noise or she can't function.) I flip to Discovery Health and, while watching Mystery Diagnosis, keep getting commercials for this weird Dr. G show. I'm all "what the fuck?" because I'm intrigued by watching a show where the people don't get better. Seriously. 90% of cases on House end where the patient is diagnosed and lives and of course every episode of Mystery Diagnosis ends in, guess what, a diagnosis. They would never put a diagnosis/death combo on there because they know people with mysterious illnesses watch the show. Ending it in death just reminds them of what they could be facing if they aren't diagnosed.

Anyway, I'm so intrigued that I go onto Youtube and find this.

It's extremely interesting... until we meet fucking Dr. G. What the shit is wrong with this woman's voice? Why would they ever let her host a show? She's so goddamn annoying. "We're just gonna have to wait for that tox and micro, tox and micro!"

But you know what? I could have ignored her and kept on watching if they didn't keep teasing me. For an autopsy show, I think it's strange that they never show the autopsy. It's completely censored. Whenever they show her hands doing something, blurry places pop up where the body should be. They occasionally show an organ that they remove as it's sitting on a table by itself. That's about it. I feel so cheated! I don't want to be looking at Dr. G's freaking face during the autopsy. I want to see some dead bodies cut open with the "standard Y incision", goddamn it!

... oh god. I sound just like Marlie. Or do I?

Myth to be busted/upheld later: Yamis have a fetish for blood/eating people. Hikaris will faint at the mention of blood. (Source.)

Ah, and the funny part is that you think you know that it's a myth. Keep thinking that. It makes it so much cooler when you jump to conclusions and I end up shattering them.

You now have a chance to vote on whether it's a myth or a fact. Go go go! Comment below and discuss amongst yourselves. I'll even give you six entire hours after this has been posted to make up your minds.

Blood, okay, let's see... I think hikaris are indifferent to blood. It's there, it keeps us alive... it's good to have IN the body but sometimes it comes out. :) Yamis on the other hand... I think they are amused by that wonderful crimson coloured liquid... stuff. They probably think it makes them tough or something to, for lack of a better word, "play" with it. *rolls eyes*

Oh, hikaris are definitely not indifferent. Blood is okay when it's in you, but it should never come out. Ever. Ye gods!

You're right about yamis, though. Blood is just amusing to them.
