I recently noticed that politicians and news anchors alike use the word “look” in front of any statement they add into a conversation with the intent of making their opinion sound more valid or correct. This is lame, but I have decided to start using the word “look” before every sentence I speak so that maybe people will think I know what I am talking about. Look, I definitely have all the answers so listen to me.
If the so called “top leaders” and wanna-be presidents in our country are literally the best that we have to offer, WHY CAN’T THEY WRITE THEIR OWN DAMN SPEECHES?
What is this Hollywood? Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and everyone else in between…don’t be fooled by people who claim to be so down to earth, but need a publicist to express their thoughts for them. I admit, it is great marketing.
I don’t care how smooth or pleasant it sounds when peppering the term “thats a good question” into a conversation, I think it’s an overused and meaningless slogan. The bottom line is, so what if it is a “good question”. What does that mean anyways? It sounds to me like the filibuster coin phrase of all time that allows the person being asked a question to throw the audience off-guard while they conjure up some bullsh*t answer (or no answer at all except the phrase “that’s a good question” + blahblahblah).
Are we all turning into politicians these days? Who do we think we’re fooling? I mean, it’s bad enough that we rip each other off in every other aspect of life…do we need to treat each other like children too? This phrase is ridiculous and I’m sick of it.
Next time someone asks a difficult question that you can’t answer, just be honest and say “I don’t know”.
They resort to featuring Robert Downey Jr., AKA: Tony Stark (Iron Man) in the opening scene to create the illusion that he plays a big role in the film, when really he is in it for about 30 seconds. And also to pretend (lie to the audience) that this film has any value whatsoever, when it would be a better use of your time to simply punch yourself in the face and then flush ten dollars down the toilet….What a joke.
Will Hollywood stop destroying classics, please! The new IronMan film was not half bad, (thanks to John Favro), but these other remakes have no excuse. You overpaid morons should be ashamed of yourselves.
PS – I like the quote about how New York being the “most aggressive city in the world” as if it means anything. Terrible.
The good thing about online hysteria over complete nonsenses is that it allows us to put things into perspective. People are making a big fuss over Google using a new favicon this week (it’s a tab image/logo) displayed for a few of their sites. And my reaction is….SO THE F**K WHAT! Why is this breaking news? If some flunky wants to make a logo of one of our English letters in lower case; let them do it and carry on with your lives. Why are you allowing this nonsense to be news worthy? It’s even shown up in my blog here that you are reading now, and I don’t give a damn about google. Or DO I???
We received an email today with the same propaganda nonsense that we get about twice a year, which basically suggests that as Americans we should simply shut up about gas prices being so high since there are other countries paying higher prices. So apparently if there are any injustices or issues of extortion going on in our country, we should simply ignore those issues or compare them to other global problems before making a fuss at all. Yeah well, I for one am still not buying this garbage.
The subject of the email was: “Why Europe thinks we are crybabies”. I love the term “why Europe”, as if Europe is some group entity or a person who is judging “us” and should dictate what we view as a problem. Can you say “permission slip”? But I must admit, propaganda still works and we all eat it up one spoon full at a time.

I’m sick of being expected to do the daily norms in society. In all of our human interactions and responses, we’re expected to act a certain way and follow the formalities. It is for this reason that I propose that instead of using the “shh” sound when wanting someone to be quiet, that we start hissing instead. Hissing as in the way cats do it. That would be pretty interesting and funny. Let’s do it. Who’s with me?
