Things That Annoy You

[HorrorRetro]

You know what annoys me?  All those ads promising the impossible with 'weird tricks'.

Me too.

Good luck with the job Seraphim!

i'm also noticing the use of that term in a lot of radio advertisements.  there's got to be some sort of legal reason they're using it.  likely it's shielding them in some way so they are less liable when fucking their customers over.

My thought exactly, but was too blinded by sheer annoyance to articulate it.

Agreed.

Agreed, but remember if it lasts more than four hours, call a doctor.

Man, I thought if it lasts more than four hours, I'd done something right.  Ah, another day, another warning of immediate need of medical attention.   :

The way NBC covers the Olympics. Do we really need the 15 minute sob stories about the hardships these "brave American athletes"  have fought through to get there? Howzabout a little more actual event coverage?

Naw, I spoke with her today and she's cool. Hell, the writers get paid $300 a story and $50 per news brief. She gets paid $500 a week. I got the SWEET END of this deal!

She asked me if I could crank out 2-3 stories and four news briefs a week and I was like, "Honey, I'll crank out 2-3 a DAY AND rake your lawn AND write your damn editorial calendar for $1,100 a week! Let's get this party started!"

I'll believe it when I'm in it, but damn, that beats writing 700-word pieces for the local paper for $100 a pop!

good on ya, Seraphim!! It does sound quite ideal!! Enjoy!!

Those stupid ass 'I was just buzzed' radio ads. They are so cheesy, dumb, annoying and ridiculous. Did I say cheesy? At least there is a new one playing, although it sucks as bad as the old one. Not that I think drunk driving is ok... just make some better commercials. Preferably ones that don't make me want to drink and drive simply out of spite.
And, if I hear that Laura Ingraham commercial where she says John Boehner's fake orange hue looks better than Joe Biden's 'Caspar' complexion one more time, I might have to hunt her down and beat her. And it has absolutely nothing to do her political views (from my end), merely her grating voice and choice of topic. I am sure all the men who dominate her profession are super impressed with her brilliant insight on such an important topic. And it didn't sound vacuous, catty or bitchy at all. 

Jeez, after reading what I typed, I think I am having some aggression issues.

That started with the 'Up Close and Personal' segments a few Olympics ago, and it's the reason I haven't watched one since. The networks are pretty good at figuring out what their audiences want, though, so most people must like that sort of thing. Explains the popularity of the snoozefest that is figure skating, too.

I hear you, but sadly, I really think that Noory is what the majority of C2C listeners want to hear.

This year they'll be stopping every half hour to show the traditional Russian 'beating of the fags'.

In a knot??  Apparently this was something left out when my mom taught me the facts of life.

We just don't make it an Olympic event.  Anymore.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the Running of the Jew.

I hear they like to do this in reverse, one Jew chased by a mob of Russkis.

Other than where residents routinely drive across each others' borders, such as in the Dominion of Methexico or the People's Republic of Canuckistan, I can't imagine where that has been much of a problem, what with the inability to bring firearms into US airports outside of a handful of highly restricted circumstances involving a shitload of paperwork and officcial sanctions. Maybe you know of a string of such incidents which you could share with us. 

[Bart Ell]

Solemmegetthisstraight, you want me to share with you a string of such incidents after you eliminate the actual ways it can happen?

it really is a good feeling to look at the screen and see that churchill avatar staring me down once again.
