OP About Ozzie ...
Two interesting things. One is that I'm amused by how the mainstream press is treating Ozzie as being so unusual. I spent a lot of time with a lot of rock stars and can state with absolute certainty that so many of them can't find their way to the bathroom that you come to understand the need for frequent costume changes. Ozzie's being unable to find a liner for the dustbin is far from unusual. Further yet, the fame of "The Osbourns" -- I'm sure spelling it wrong -- is amusing because the show in essence is the latest iteration of a half-century-old cliche of American (and perhaps British as well) popular television comedy. And that is -- 1) inept, bumbling, but loveable dad; 2) strong, willful, caring wife; 3) wacky kids.
In short, there is absolutely nothing unique about avuncular Ozzie or his family beyond the bleeped ****s.
