another list of stuff I just flat out hate. I have to do these every now and then or I explode.
People who use the letters 'u' and 'r' in place of the words 'you' and 'are' - Is it really too much of a hassle to type out the whole ******* word? Seriously, it's three letters - and it's becoming and epidemic. This also goes for anyone who uses the contractions of those letters for yours, and you're. As in: "If ur that lazy then u should be SHOT." Or "Shall I kill u with my steak knife, or urs?
Anyone who pronounces "internet speak" ... I've said this in passing before, but please - allow me to elaborate a tiny bit. If I am say, walking through the mall - and I hear one of these kids say to one of their cleverly clothed pals as they exit the Hot Topic with their non conformist clothing, "We are so non-conformist. Society is about to get pwnt." I will not be held responsible for my actions.
Hypocrites, if this list were in any order - this would be at the top. Or just under liars... it's a tough call. These people have a double standard for everything, and this group encompasses a lot of others that I hate. You can NOT tell someone it is not okay for them to do or say something, then immediately turn around and do it yourself. Lead by example if you want to start telling people what to do. Otherwise, shut the **** up.
Carlos Mencia. Screw you Ned. This guy WAS mildly amusing to me several years ago. For roughly 12 and a half minutes... maybe less. Then he became "famous" - I use quotations here because he's not really. He thinks he is - but since his material never evolves, he's just another flash in the pan. Now he's this guy with a severe Napoleonic Complex, and a beer gut. He compares himself to George Carlin in how he's "fearless" to approach any topic. That right there makes me want to strap him to an Acme Rocket and fire him into the sun. Never mind his obnoxious dee-dee-dee'ing all over the place.
While I'm on the topic of un-funny people.... Will someone PLEASE do something about Larry the Cable Guy? The only thing 'Cable Guy' about him is the fact that he keeps showing up on Comedy Central, which of course, it on cable. If you do a youtube search for his OLD stuff, you will find that ol' Larry is really just a chump from Seattle or something. I don't know where he's from - but the redneck thing is an over the top act, which for some reason has actual rednecks thinking they're ALL hilarious, and thus talk way more than should be allowed.
I've already handled rednecks in a previous entry. However this includes them as well - Nascar... I can start with the traditional "it's stupid to sit and watch cars make left turns all day" - however, I have to point out it takes a very specific mind to be entertained by that. I'm not saying if you see it on TV and are momentarily mesmerized, that makes you an idiot. However, spending any amount of money to go and watch cars run around a basic track, and *hope* for a crash... do I really need to say anything else?
Cops. I am TERRIFIED of these bastards. They're not ALL bad - but the majority of them seem to be, especially where I am. If they busted me for doing something truly awful, fine. Reap what I sow and all that. However, if I'm in a car accident, hurt badly, accused of "smelling like beer" (keep in mind I'm allergic to beer - and thus do not drink it) then proceed to have the ever living crap beat out of me after asking for a breathalyzer test... yeah, I'm going to get jumpy. Never mind getting pulled over for "speeding" then proceed to have the ever living crap beat out of me. Again... OH and walking down the sidewalk. That time I actually WAS drunk - but I was unaware it was illegal to walk drunk. I was thinking that rule was limited to operating vehicles. Silly me. That's a beatin'. The most twisted ***** in the city gravitate toward that job because it gives them 'authori-tah' and it's frightening. Especially when measured against how often they get away with it. I'm just one guy who happens to get beat up by cops. A lot. I know a few girls who have had much worse things happen and it's their word against the cops. Which means nothing will be done about it most likely. Imagine how THAT feels. ******* pigs... and people wonder why it's fun to blow them up in GTA.
Sports fanatics that can't understand my apathy towards sports in general... it's always the same thing. "You don't drink beer? You don't like sports? Are you gay No - I'm not gay I'm a huge fan of the ladies and I prefer alcohol that tastes good, plus the bonus effect of not throwing me into uncontrollable dry heaves as my body rejects it but can't because my throat is swollen shut. I like those two things so much in fact, I'd rather enjoy the company of my girlfriend and a nice scotch than watch a bunch of full grown men in tight clothing run after a ball and jump on each other. o.O
People who are impressed with their own financial standing so much that they must tell me about it. I refer to most of these types of people as 'new money' - but anyone who talks about money in terms of how much they have is a straight up jackass. It's rude to imply how wealthy you are. Suppose someone is going on and on about private jets and mansions, etc. The person they are talking to is scraping by at the poverty line. Guess who gets the a-hole award? If someone asks you how much you make, it is acceptable to just say "Not enough." Then shut the **** up about it.
This brings me to rappers. Some of it is actually clever. Most of it isn't. There is no winning on that level, because they're hypocrites. They rap about being poor, and how hard life is - then (most) go home to a huge house in a private limo. On the flipside, they rap about being rich and how much better they are - which makes them a straight up jackass. Either way they get paid a ridiculous amount of money which they will rap about on a later album. Therefore, the only solution is to allow rappers to make 3 albums, maximum and then they have to retire, never to be seen or heard from again. The first album is how it sucks to be poor and getting shot at... the second album is about how awesome it is to be rich, and it is during the second albums run that they are allowed to have endorsements and sponsors, and ONLY then. The third album, which must come no later than say, five years after the second (so they don't drag out those endorsements) is about how they look forward to retirement and it's nice to have money and insurance. Maybe they can work in some stock tips or something. They'll still be jackasses, but at least their time in the spotlight is limited. After that - P. Didley who? With luck this will have a bonus effect of getting rid of 'Cribs'. I'm not going to rant about Mtv, because everyone already knows it sucks.
Everyone on every reality tv show. Ever. The hatred I've had brewing for that genre of "entertainment" and the individuals who fill that festering cesspool is up there with my take on religion... and is definitely in the running to surpass it. I hate the premise of trying to find some washed up celebrity "love." They're not there to find a spouse. They are there because their career was over in 1989 and they're desperate for another 15 minutes. Why, why, WHY does the drama have to be filmed? I know the general answer to this is "just change the channel" but here's my problem - I don't HAVE to change the channel - I don't even TURN to that channel. However I must still HEAR about it from EVERYONE. Did you SEE what so and so said to this other person you've never heard of about (insert washed up celebrity here)!?" No. No I didn't - but you're about to force this information on me in a vicious rape of my ear hole, aren't you? So my problem is bigger than just the show. It's ALSO the people that watch and perpetuate these shows...American Idol needs to go away, Tyra Banks needs to fall off the planet, Flavor Flav needs to just die as punishment for bringing 'New York' onto my TV, and subsequently into every conversation I had with my ex girlfriend for a year. Now it's not just the washed up celebrities and pseudo-celeb's all of whom are desperate for attention. Now it seems ANYONE who is desperate enough for attention can have a show. Two words: Tila Tequila.
It's enough to make me fling myself off a cliff.
