Plea to Pop-Culture

Plea to Pop-Culture

Things I would like to not see anymore during my day:

1. Anything having to do with lower carbs.
2. Lance Armstrong.
3. Anything involving the concept of "Garden gnome seeing the world".

*Addendum
4. No more goddamn "custom car" shit on Discovery Channel. All I've discovered in months is that the programming director must be some redneck.

I sincerely hope you don't see that commercial where Lance Armstrong dresses up as a garden gnome and goes to Subway for one of their new low-carb specials.

On another note, do you realize that your comment submission form requires a name and an e-mail address, yet distinctly says "name, email, and url are optional". Just found that odd.

Whoops! - thanks for the head- up, John - I made the switch to mandatory name and email recently, and overlooked that graphic! You win a free post!

I need to comment, it says so. But then.. it'd be a bit daft to post a comment with no comment. So I guess that isnt mandatory?

take it from me, there's no way your ever going to not see those things any more. unless your that blind man from town. but i don't think you are, no your not.

Yes, what ever happened to all those good shows on deep sea exploration and sharks (sharks are way cooler than some "pimp my ride" show.) "Pimp my shark", now there's a show idea!

here are the ways i deal with these "cultural" annoyances: 1) always read "carb" as "crab." this leads to some satisfying new mental images and helps to stop you from screaming about how "carbs" is incorrectly used to refer to "grams of carbohydrates." 2) every time you see lance armstrong, come up with an alternate "tough guy" name for him, like "rod steeljaw" or "pierce thunderfist." or just take delight in imagining him having to endure the torture of having to listen to sheryl crow all day. 3) i can't help you here. garden gnomes are just too powerful to counteract. 4) make up a discovery channel drinking game that requires a drink every time someone says "riiiide," "monster," "trick out," "badass," etc. i hope these strategies help.

holy shit....you didnt just knock the discovery channel did you?

Hey....those cars are fucking art man. Believe me I would love to force every redneck to rape himself....but dude...american chopper, american hotrod, rides, overhaulin', biker build offs, motorcycle mania and all that is the biggest thing since man invented god.

ooh, you're gonna want to stay out of the pet supply isle at the supermarket - I saw an add for low-carb dog food the other day as I happened pass the ol' idiot box.

niff

Hah! that was the perfect Niff. You put the extra 'd' on 'ad'

Perfect, niff.
