I dunt geddit

Due to a complete lack of inspiration and having nothing terribly interesting to write about this week, here’s a list of things, be they ideas, objects, or groups of people that I just don’t undershtand. So, without further ado, here they are.

People who are proud of being illiterate
Now, I can understand why some people don’t like to read, even if I disagree. But the attitudes of people who are actually proud of that just baffles me. Like whenever you look at someone’s Facebook or Myspace, and under the Books section, it says something like “naw man, fuck dose book! I don’t fuckin read. I’m too bizee playing World uh’ Warcraft!” Classy.

Teenagers who are all like “Fuck the police!”
Let me get this straight: you’re an 18 year old pot head, whose older brother was arrested last year for coke dealing, you’re a straight-D student in school, plan on becoming a male stripper when you get older, and you somehow think you have more value to society than a cop? Uh huh.

Men named Richard who choose to be called Dick.
“Hello, my name is Richard. But please, call me Dick.”
“Why hello there, Dick. My name is Christian, but you can call me Scrotie McBooger Balls.”

Juggalos
You know, the rabid fans of the group Insane Clown Posse. First off, if you’re going to start a multinational gang affiliation, why would you base it off of a musical group? And if you’re going to base it on a musical group, WHY for the love of His Noodley Appendage would you base it on the dumbest, most bullshit white-trash musical group ever? If the two guys who invented ICP are revealing some great truth about the world, then Elliot Smith is a prophet sent by God (not that he wasn’t already).

Sitcoms on T.V. that still use live studio audiences
While this is a more of a subjective complaint, I personally feel that if any show greenlit within the past couple of years still uses a laugh track, then the producers obviously don’t have a whole lot of faith in their product (**COUGH** Disney Channel **COUGH**). It shows a total lack of confidence, which is never a good sign. Oh, and just an interesting fact, but since they reuse the same laughing effects as they did in the 50s and 60s, most of the people who you hear on the laugh track are probably dead by now. Weird.

People who join like a million groups on Facebook
Is it really necessary to have 1,028 pages on your profile that say all the same three things? Guys always mistreat you, you don’t like sluts, you think all those innuendo sounding groups are funny. I fucking get it already. Stop spamming my news feed.

Referring to something as “Good but overrated” and the people who actually think it makes any damn sense
“Hey, did you see The Hurt Locker”
“Yeah, but it shouldn’t have won Best Picture at the Oscars. It was good, but way overrated.”
*facepalm*
It makes NO SENSE. How the shit can you call a film you consider worthwhile to be overrated? Why does it distress you so much if a film you LIKED is getting praise? Why not join in? Why be miserable about something that struck all the right chords with you getting hailed by others? Why? WHY? >:(
