I spend a lot of my down time at work perusing internet news media. I have to say I am pretty put out by what constitutes news these days. Practically all of the stories fall into three categories. 1) Celebrity BS, 2) Political BS, and 3) Articles that incite hatred. Actually those first two often contain traces of the third. I am sick of reading about how one small group did something to another small group and now we should all be pissed. Seriously, there would be so much less racism and discrimination of all kinds if every little example of it wasn't examined and inflated. The only hatred the media incites in me is hatred of the media. It really boils down to stupidity. Sex sells, but not as well as stupidity. That is the only thing that explains how Snooki makes it into the news. And the outlets think anyone still give a flying cuss about Paris Hilton! How sad are the people who make up the population of this country that these pathetic figures are worth the server space? Every political news story contains quotes out of context picked to make the speaker sound worse. Obviously the state of politics in this country is not great, but it is not helping anything that nothing positive is ever said. Not that there is much positive to say. I need to win the lottery quick so I can move to my private island.
I have a bone to pick with a few advertisements too. I make it no secret that I think the Toyota Prius is a travesty against humanity. I think the Toyota Prius is a travesty. It will be extremely upsetting if talking about it in this blog results in Prius ads. Anyway, they have the dumbest slogan I have ever heard. No fooling. The slogan for their new model is "Prius V, the big one"...wow. I bet marketing got a bonus for that one.
I would never drink Stella Artois. One, I have tried it and it is disgusting. And two, I don't like drinking beer that is full of itself. The commercials are not even about the beer! They are about the glass! Excuse me, the "chalice", those are sarcastic quotes if you couldn't tell. Pardon my language, but Stella, I don't give a cuss. Your commercials not only do not make me want to buy your product, they make me wish terrible things on your company and the pretentious ass-clowns who like you. I hope you choke on your bottled sewer water you audaciously call beer.
First, I think it's sad that you already have a private island, but you don't have enough money to get there. Second, I'm not sure why, but I lol'ed at 'ass-clowns'. I'm probably going to have to use that... and it'd be a good name for a band.
ReplyDeleteI lol'ed harder when I thought of 'cuss-clowns.' And stella is gross.
