| Things that really piss me off... |
| Everyone gets pissed sometimes. But I get pissed off several times a day. I may be young in age but I have the temperment of an 80 year old, SEVERLY grizzled man. So kick back and do as my friends do...laugh at my qualms. MTV Unless you're twelve, you probably don't enjoy MTV like you used to. NOTHING on this station survives too long, because young people have short attention spans and they want to know what is cool TODAY. I have a theory that songs are played on the radio only if they have a catchy, easy-to-remember chorus. Here's a test you can give your friends to see if they are mindless consumers and regular viewers of MTV: 1. Hop in the car and go somewhere with them. 2. Turn on the radio, and find a station that plays "today's best music." 3. Listen carefully, and see if they sing any song that comes on. 4. If the only part they can actually sing is the chorus, then throw them out of the car at speed. There, wasn't that easy? VH1 I once heard that this station referred to as "music for people who don't like music." I must wholeheartedly agree. From Melissa Etheridge tributes to Divas crapfests, VH1 has everything you never wanted to know or see again. They also have "Behind the Music," a program which reminds us that Vanilla Ice is a real person with deep emotions. Who gives a fuck? He sucked then, he sucks now. Invest your air time to more important things, like Sugar Ray videos. Disney If heaven and hell do exist, and it was possible for an entire company to go to hell, then Disney would be the first. A company that caters to children (and their parent's pocketbooks), Disney is nothing more than Walt Disney's dream turned into my own nightmare. It's not that I dislike Disney movies or cartoons or anything else, it's just that they are too big of a corporation to actually care about kids. Money is all that matters, and Disney has plenty of it. Wal-Mart Good Idea: Let's make a store where people can get everything in one place for the lowest prices around. Bad Idea: Let's make this shopping experience a brainless religion. Yes, living in a town that has four (count 'em, four) Wal-Mart SUPERCENTERS, I must say that the next best place to see somebody you know is church (and I don't go to church). All the rednecks 'round chere love to have a nice chat with their neighbor or cousin (also their brother in law) over some reasonably priced tires. Unfortunately, people like myself that are poor and just go to wally world to SHOP (what a concept!!) have to deal with these saps. Ahh, the agony of convenience! TV Televangelists If you have that problem of just not being able to decide on a religion, tune in for a little brainwashing, en masse. There's nothing more hypocritical than a "man of God" pushing some beliefs for a little advertising and donation fundage. You mean religion is profitable? Damn, I'm in the wrong business... more to come............. |
