Veggie Bacon? What an evil sort of thing.
Anyone recall back when Ozzy was kicked out of Black Sabbath? Sure, they kept using the name, but there was nothing the same about it after that, and it for darn sure wasn't as good as it was before. Apply the same archetype to bacon/veggie "bacon" (yes, they should have to put it in quotes on the wrapper!!). They kicked out the meat and the flavor, but they kept using the name. Anyone who has a clue knows it's a sham, but there's always a fringe group of weirdo's out there that think that Ian Gillan did a great job.

Ozzy joined that new band, the Kardashians.
-
Seriously, who let a vegetarian onto a bacon thread???? And then he brings up Kardassians??? Not very mango, brah....

Hey, it was @art_of_shred talking about reality television stars. Ozzy and the Kardassians are all the same to me... people that do shows on cable television that I've never seen but everyone mentions.
-
This is one of my favorite brands of gourmet bacon.... expensive, worth it.
-
@scottalanmiller well, Ozzy used to have artistic credibility, but no kardassian ever did. I can't sign off on calling Ozzy a "reality tv star" when I weigh his musical achievements in there, because Black Sabbath.

I refuse to take any responsibility for your skewed perception of reality. Ozzy may be something like a "reality TV star" today, but the dude has a career that goes back to the 60's, and has been a household name since the 80's. If all you see is "reality TV star", you need help. lol

What else does he do? Isn't "cable television personality" his job title these days? I'm just living in the real world, not the halcion days of yore here. Maybe you still think it is the 1980s, but these days, the reality is he's a low budget Kardashian wanna be.
-
Ozzy is the fake bacon to Kardashian real bacon, I guess.
-
I know that one of the Kardashians does reality TV because she couldn't cut it as a local radio DJ. She made it like two weeks in Dallas. Maybe Ozzy couldn't keep up with that musical thing and took the same route.
-
The truth is that Ozzy should just stop. But, that doesn't take away what he has done. He is not famous because of "The Osbournes" or "The Kardashians". Those came much later... well into the time when he should have just stopped already.

Problem is, to the current generation, that's all that he is. It has completely overshadowed his musical history because the gap between them was so big. They probably would have commonly known him for his music had he actually just retired. But since he become so well known as the second tier reality television star, it's hard to think of him as anything else today. I think in ten years he's going to regret that decision - unless he was all out of money and was just desperate. He traded in his legacy for that money.
-
What's funny, and really dates me, is that if you don't say his last name with his first one, this is the only thing that pops into my mind...

Problems:
- He will surely be dead in 10 years, so I don't see that as a big worry to him.
- I don't consider 15 year old girls' perceptions into my calculations of what is or isn't a big deal.
- Reality TV is about the most worthless thing ever conceived. I am perfectly happy to dismiss that it even exists, and I am sure my life is much better off as a result.

That's not dating you. The weird fact that you like something that your parents grew up with doesn't "date" you... just makes you weird.

I knew immediately who that pic must be of, but I couldn't pick them out of a crowd of 3. Never seen a pic of them in my life.

I have no idea who that is...

And hence the reason that vegetarians should avoid threads about bacon. Vegetarians won't understand why that matters, but the rest of us get it.

Ah from the 50's that makes sense. I can honestly say this is the first time I've ever heard of this sitcom.
