1. THE RECESSION
 |
|
Well let's start off with the obvious
one: the recession. This year has totally sucked for most people
financially. Layoffs, unemployment, evictions are words that I hear
every day now and this is fucking ridiculous. Thank you to all those
greedy pricks who raised housing prices to unaffordable levels causing the
bubble to burst. Thank you to big auto for not being proactive and
making fewer oil dependent cars. Oh, and $4 per gallon for gas..that was
fun.
The media says not to feel bad though because those
rich kingpins are also being affected now by the economy. Are you
shitting me? What, did they have to sell one of their 7
mansions? Their bonus this year was only 6 figures? Reality
check here people: that bonus was the salary of at least two people who
that same prick laid off because business was "slowing down". I hope
those rich assholes get flat tires on their Mercedes and are
mugged by their former employees who are now begging for food because
they can't afford groceries or rent.

2. CELEBRITY BABY
OBSESSION
 |
|
What the hell is the media's obsession
with celebrity baby pictures? I used to think Michael Jackson was
all kinds of psycho for covering up his kids' faces, but now I think that
was brilliant. Stalkerazzi now follow these kids and take pictures
of them everywhere. These poor kids are going to have so many
problems growing up and everything they do publicized. Imagine going
to your first high school keg party and they getting busted by your
parents because of a cover on US Weekly and you've never even acted a day
in your life.I can just see the headlines coming over the next
couple of years: "Suri Cruise Gets Potty Trained" or "The Twins Throw
Cake at 1st Birthday Party: Maddox Enraged". But you know what the
real sin of it is, the Olsen effect. When these kids are finally 18
and hitting the scene, I am going to be thinking "I would totally do her"
and then, BAM, someone is going to flash a baby picture beside them and
make me feel like a pervert.

3. Wii
PERIPHERALS
 |
|
Wii Wii Wii. Such promise.
Such innovation. And then, you had to go and get cocky on me.
You came out as the kind and lighthearted friend at an affordable price,
but then you asked if your little brother could stay with us.
Shortly after that your cousin and mother-in-law came as well. I
have even heard about your other relatives coming later this year.
I don't know how to tell you this, but I have been cheating on you with
my PS3. I thought it was out of my league, but it has always been
up front with me. You, my dear Wii, have taken enough of my money and
space.

4. Wii
PORTS
 |
|
Continuing on my Wii bashing...Wii
ports. For anyone who is not familiar with the phrase, a port is
when a game is developed for another system and then modified to work on
another system. More often than not, this does not work,
particularly with the Wii. Games specifically designed for the Wii
tend to be pretty good, but when swinging the controller left-right makes
your character jump, punch, and look around, this does not make
sense. Any game that involves driving a vehicle on the Wii that does
not behave like a steering wheel with the one controller is an immediate
fail. Anything that is not behave like a natural motion like shaking a
controller to reload a weapon is an immediate fail. And the worst
offense to occur in almost all ports is the total loss of graphic
integrity just to make the game available on the best selling
console.
For their own good, if you see or hear a developer
creating a port, the only appropriate response is a waffle iron upside
their head. And don't worry about going to jail, because in the end,
they'll appreciate it.

5. PROPRIETARY
GAMES
 |
|
I personally feel the picture explains
this pretty well. Proprietary games suck and DAH is now on my shit
list. DAH1 and 2 were both on PS2, but then came along "Big Willy"
available only on the Wii. And next was the 4th game in the sage,
"Path of the Furon", which picks the storyline where the "Willy" leaves
off. Wait. What? So first you have to play the Wii
version to lead into the 360 game? Also, since the first 2 were on
PS, why the fuck aren't the other 2? Was someone at THQ on crack
while developing these games? Dicks. You might be thinking,
"Maybe the PS3 is hard to develop for, so that is why "Path" is on 360
instead. Well that argument would certainly hold water except
that "Path" was released on the PS3 in Europe. So clearly the
real excuse is that the game was released in Spanish in Spain, French in
France, and, oh....what is that language they speak
in England...Klingon? I always forget.

6. RIDICULOUS INTERNET GROUPS
 |
|
People, please stop inviting me to
join your mob or mafia or whatever group just so you can be the biggest
clan of something which clearly makes you the coolest thing since
mesh underwear. Unless you intend to really go out and start
"whacking" people, then I have no interest in being part of your
crew. As a sidenote, you can expect a horse's head under your pillow
for Christmas.

7. POD
PEOPLE
 |
|
I am so fucking sick of these people who feel the
need to flash around their iPods and have to get the
new one the second it comes out. These assholes stand in line for 2 weeks to get
the new 120gb iPod when they currently have a 60gb iPod
and only 10gb of media on it. At this point, I really don't know anyone
under the age of 40 who doesn't have an iPod, so why do these
pricks feel the need to still flash them around like they are cooler than everyone else?
Nobody cares that you have an iPhone. You don't need to whip it out
the minute you walk into a room. And, in fact, most
people think you are a moron for paying ridiculous data fees.
If you see an iPod
flasher, immediately slap their iPod to the ground and hope it
breaks. If it doesn't break,begin jumping on it until it is
completely ruined. While jumping I also suggest watching the
owner's face as the sheer terror of what is occurring is plastered all
over their showy face. As a cover, you should probably apologize and
say you were scared and confused that it was some strange alien
device and necessary to protect Earth.

8.
SMALLVILLE
 |
|
How is this show still on? The
only two people left on the show are Clark and Chloe and yet it is still
on. Hell, even Lex Luther gave up on Clark becoming Superman and
left the show. I honestly know most people who used to watch the
show have given up. The others still watching are saying (just like
Green Arrow), "Stop being a pussy and just become Superman already."
If the WB or CW or whoever they are these days would just pony up, make
Clark become Superman, and then rename the series "Smallville: Superman",
I would totally buy back into the show. If anyone sees one of the
writers for this show, please do us all a favor and give them a good hard
kick in the junk.

9. THIS
GUY
 |
|
"It's
wow. It's so wow you'll be like wow. It's a sham...uh, I
mean...shammy. And...ah..yeah...wow. Has anyone seen my
lithium?"
Dear infomercial gods, is this unenthusiastic self
loathing moron supposed to be the new Billy Mays? Seriously, was
Billy Mays on vacation and the ShamWow crew grabbed some random kid away
from getting his ass kicked at Halo to do the commercial? I bet you
the national suicide rate goes up every time this guy talks, which to the
benefit of ShamWow, it is probably good at soaking up all the blood in the
carpet.And what the fuck is with the headset? Like there isn't
a boom mike above him as well as others in the studio.
I hope Billy
Mays runs into this kid one day and the combination of OxiClean fumes and
his ridiculously thunderous voice makes this asshole's head
explodes. wow.
