The more I think I’ve seen everything, something even more ridiculous comes along. In this case, it’s a reporter’s objection to the name of a new TV show that just debuted on CW.

Detroit Free Press hack Julie Hinds is upset by the name of the new CW series, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” saying it’s offensive to women and the mentally ill. Yes, you can no longer use the word “crazy” because it offends the mentally ill (which I assure you includes Julie Hinds). Hinds, who often “reviews” and raves over shows and movies she hasn’t even seen yet, writes this:

“Crazy ex-girlfriend” is an insulting term for both women and millions of people living with mental illness.

Yes, she actually wrote that. By the way, the show is about a woman (played by actress Rachel Bloom) who quits her job as a lawyer to go stalk her boyfriend from summer camp, whom she apparently hasn’t seen in years. Um, is that not the very definition of a crazy ex-girlfriend? Again, anyone offended by that probably is crazy, including and especially Hinds.

The only reason Hinds, a known hack and unethical “reporter,” has a job is because of the Michigan Film Tax Credit, in which Michigan taxpayers paid 42% back in expenses for crappy movies (many of them straight-to-video and some of them semi-porn) and TV shows to be made in Michigan. It’s thankfully ending, but it enabled Hinds to keep her job writing slop for the Free Pressistan. She was going to be fired, but when Freep movie critic Terry Lawson quit and the film tax credit was enacted, they decided to keep her. All of her writings slobbered over the film tax credits, which were a giant sucking of money away from legit Michigan businesses and taxpayers to the coffers of Hollywoodites who couldn’t get funding to make their crap otherwise. I called it “the Julie Hinds Film Tax Credit,” since she drooled over every inane project and Tinseltown chump who came here to take advantage.

Full disclosure: Hinds has written a number of stories on me and interviewed me several times. But I was tired of her making crap up, so I declined to ever be interviewed by her again. I should have learned my lesson years ago, when I ran for the Michigan House in 1990 and lost by just one vote. Hinds wrote a piece about me and just flat-out lied and made up baloney. She wrote that she was watching me at the polls (she was nowhere to be seen) and that I was all alone, while my opponent had a huge group of supporters. False. My opponent wasn’t at the same polling place as me ever. And at another polling place where my opponent was campaigning, she was alone (no entourage). I was with my little brother and other campaign volunteers. But, in the interest of “drama,” she threw accuracy out the window, as she often does. When I called her on this, she claimed her “brother” or some other fictional relative told her about it. Yeah, great “reporting”–“my brother told me so.” You cannot believe anything this idiotette writes (although for years, she’s been confined to writing showbiz fluff and butt-snorkeling celebs). And, now, she’s a member of the PC Police.

Well, I know why Hinds was so offended by the title “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.” I think it hits a little too close to home for her (as in, her mirror).
