Obscure Things that make me want to HURLLL!
In no particular order:
Carracho Administrators who offer "FREE!" wares, only you have to upload something they want first. Pud-whackers.
Speaking of pud-whacking: People who think talking about bizarre sexual practices (or participating in them), makes them "open minded." You see a lot of this at big liberal arts schools and art colleges. Not talking about Jamie here (since he recently started an old-fashioned, monkey-spanking, good time of a thread) just in general.
Whoever it is that gives W. ideas like "The Evil Axis." Definitely needs to practice his or her reading and writing skills more often.
Television / Ad producers who think they're "in touch with America" and try to prove it by relentlessly beating dead horses such as the Olympic Figure Skating thing...oh and then there's the "M Life" we all need to get. F*ck you, AT&T!
Bill Walton (since I already bashed Mark Cuban)
Multi-million-dollar-per-year athletes who cannot perform basic tasks that their sports require, like say, making a free throw or throwing a strike.
Multi-million-dolloar-per-year athletes who hold out at the beginning of the season because you know, X million dollars a year to play a sport is just unfair!
Any sports agent other than Arliss Michaels.
People who intend to upload music files to AG's servers, and then promptly mispell (har har) the name of the artist and / or song.
People who intend to upload music files, and do so using shitty recordings as a source.
People who upload Live Music and don't label it as "Live"
People who complain too much about AG music quality.
Vaporware.
Anyone care to add some more?

Shy people (frustrating as hell)
Having steve jobs not advertising your favorite platform on tv like they should be doing
having apple having to delay qt6 because of liscensing reasons so i can't have my mp3 VBR fix to properly watch my pirated DivX movies
not having morpheus on the mac at the moment
having to get those eye drops from eye checkups that make your pupils all big and uncomfortable
having to wake up at 6:30 in the morning to go to school everyday
having to here the phrases "in the aftermath of.." or "america's new war", or "axis of evil", or "security reasons" or any such phrases everyday
No seriously, I don't mean to be offensive but I feel physically sick when I see them. I can't watch some James Bond films because of this. And don't talk to me about Mini Me.

Advertisers/Marketing mucks who think the Internet is their friggin birthrite to subject us to horrible advertising.
The typical commercial on television...some say they're made for the typical 12 year old...yeah may 12yrs in 400BC
Deceptive Advertising...why adverstise Audio Speakers as $XXX "each" and then tell me I must purchas in pairs?
Telemarkters...how do you presume to tell me what I want! I already have a list of everything I want for the near future...if your product is not on my list or better than the current Items I have...I'm not interested.
Tech Schools- why must they continually lie "Are you tired of flipping Burgers?" "Well join our school and pay $8000 dollars and you'll be a Network Administrator making $60,000 in a matter of months!" "It's easy!" Fecking idiots...If I hear them lie 1 more time about unfilled Tech positions I'm going to pull stunt like Falling Down.
Women- egads women are getting worse and worse..is there ANY insecurity they don't try to mask with something. Whether it be stuffing silicone bags into their chest to feel better or wearing rediculous shoes to boost their height..I think it's abundantly the until women excise these demons they will not be looked at as capable of leading this Nation or crashing through other glass ceilings.
Music Industry- I've already hurled at the boneheaded distributors. Geez..I really like xxx song but I'd prefer not to buy the album...let me just get the single...what?...it's only available in a Maxi Single for $7.99??
Loud computers---sheesh your typical PC sounds like a jet taking off....people would rather scream about multiple Gigahertz and add Bay Busses to their machines waking up the fricking neighborhook. Oh I wish the Cube still existed...I can't bear to put a loud computer in my Living Room...any sound that deviates from what is recorded and intended is DISTORTION! I don't like distortion.

Well said! Although the masking insecurities thing is plenty popular among jet-set males too. "Life is demanding, but I THRIVE on it!" The "I can take on anything / control everything" attitude is so pervasive it's astounding. People are vane / clueless about how life works sometimes.
Also: athletes who are given second, third and fourth chances that nobody else would get (because of their fame) and they STILL screw it up. Like Daryl Strawberry, Theo Fluery, Mike Tyson, etc. etc.

"Justice Triumphs, but the scandal exposes the dark side of Olympic skating. Can we ever trust the judges again?"
A: Figure skating and Justice have nothing to do with one another.
B. Gary Condit was involved in a scandal, this is called a personal, petty, bribe. Nothing more.
C. There's no "dark side" to the judges who preside over world championship figure skating? DUH!
D. Does our ability to trust figure skating judges somehow have a tremendous impact on our lives and our ability to trust others around us?
Or maybe the editors at Time (as with so many other media outlets) have their heads squarely up their asses. Morons.

Whoever canceled Family Guy again... bastards
People who feel that warning labels are needed on everthing. "Caution: Coffee may be hot!"
Newspapers which think that figure skating is front page material.
People who look down upon me when I tell them I'm not religious.
Whoever thinks that "Friends" is the best sitcom ever.
Actors/Sports player who get paid insanely large amounts of money.

Can I get an "Amen!", my brotha?! Good ones all...so reassuring to know I'm not the only person who notices things like this.
All those "purple people" should be shot, with the pharmecutial company next in line.
Enron...Ok, they were scumbag corporate assholes and there will (hopefully) be changes and policies made to prevent this again...BUT ENOUGH MEDIA DIARRHEA ALREADY!
Oh, and I could give a big fat shit what sentence they'll finally dish out to the mother who drowned her kids. Why not drown her now, save the taxpayers some money and save us from the insanity of seeing a telemovie next season?
The fact that the Unemployment Compensation Extension has passed the Senate and the House...only thing is that Bush has to sign it...oop! He's in Japan stuffing his face with sushi...get back and do your job!
I could go on and on...but you know me... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
