Quotation Marks – To speak or not to speak

The Golden Globes were hit or miss, 'American Idol' brought in the new celebrity judges and 'Being Human' made its Americanized debut on Syfy.

I know it’s the unpopular opinion, but Ricky Gervais had me laughing to tears in his opening of the Golden Globes. He was honest and said things that no one else would dare utter out loud. Then we have the premiere of Being Human, and they’re in the opposite spot. They can’t exactly just shout to the world how they feel to the world; or can they? Time will tell!
