Shit That Bugs Me
Here's my true bitch section. It will be updated repeatedly as I will, undoubtedly, find more shit that bugs me.
1. People that tell me pro wrestling is fake. Well, duh! I don't care that it's fake. I like watching it. I'm sure that the millions...and millions of fans that are told everyday that it's fake don't care either. We know it's fake, and if there are a few people that own a television and live under a rock on Pluto that still think it's a great competitive sport then more power to them. The people that tell me pro wrestling is fake are the same people that give their kids gifts that say "To:Billy, From:Santa." These same people will tell their kids that the Easter Bunny has hidden eggs all over the yard for them to try and find. I guess these people get some kind of thrill from the possibility of shattering someone's outlook on reality. The next time you feel like telling me that pro wrestling is fake, I suggest you take your kid to a farm and shove your hand up a hundred chickens' asses and show them where easter eggs really come from.
2. The women in those cable sponsored anti-satellite TV commercials. Why are there only women bitching about this? Is it supposed to make me more suspicious of the satellite TV companies. I'm sorry, but after two bad marriages and a few psycho girlfriends I'm more suspicious of the women that do the commercials. I'm sure millions of guys have enough women bitching about this subject that they really don't need to hear more from some women they don't even know. There is actually one "concerned mother" that complains that she won't be able to watch the local news and that she needs the weather report to be able to get her kids ready for school. Well here's a little tidbit of information. There is a channel that shows your local weather and weather from all around the world 24 hours a day. It's called the Weather Channel. Maybe she could read a newspaper and get the weather report from there. In addition to that, she can also get a more in depth grasp on the local news that way. Newspaper writers go into much more depth than the anchorperson on TV, and you get coupons on Sunday. The Local news on TV is usually crap nobody cares about in a city about 50 miles from where that person lives. Maybe if a guy bitched about it I'd take it more to heart, but a guy will never bitch about getting to see whatever game he wants to see. If I knew for a fact that they still had the hardcore porn channels on sattelite TV, I'd get a dish in a heartbeat.
3. Cable companies. This is kind of a continuation from the previous gripe because I know it's the cable companies that make those commercials. I have a few reasons why I hate these spawns of Satan. Why do I have to pay 30 bucks for some goon to come to my house and tell me my cable is working? He's supposed to hook up my cable, but I already know how to do that, and I could save him a trip by calling the office and letting them know my cable is on. Why do I have to pay to watch a channel I should get to see for free? I am not going into detail of how my cable company's pricing tier goes, but I do know I'd have to pay about 15 dollars to see 12 channels. Five of these channels are free, and two of them are various versions of C-Span which consistently shows an empty room where the 500 and some odd members of Congress should be but aren't. I'd also have to pay 20 bucks extra to watch the three or four shows I really want to watch. One of these shows also happens to run in the same time slot as WWF Raw. Thank you Ted Turner for watching out for the wrestling fans. That was sarcasm. I have an idea. Why doesn't the cable company find some ingenious pricing scale to let me get the channels I want without the 50 or more I don't want.
