Sick of A-Holes?

I'm sick of inconsiderate folks and people out to screw others just to get ahead. Here's a quick list:

The Person Who Sold the Michael Phelps Smoking Picture - I've ranted about this previously, so I'm not going to spend too much more time on it, but really? You're partying with a legend and your first thought is to get a photo of Phelps smoking? Then you sell it for profit? I could even make an argument that you are more responsible for "all the kids who were let down by Phelps' action." For example, if there was an actor (maybe Eddie Murphy in Dr. Doolittle or Shrek) that a kid really liked based on his role in a family friend movie, and then you created an easy opportunity for that kid to watch a more adult content DVD with that same actor in it (Eddie Murphy Raw), that kid would be confused about what is going on. As I've stated before, it is the parents' responsibility to explain things to the child, but clearly there are some things that adults know about that do not need to be put in play view of the kids.

Selena Roberts - "We were doing a profile on A-Rod, so that was the only player we were concerned about." This is what she said when Doug Gottlieb asked her about the 103 players that tested positive for steroids. Are we to believe she just passed on this information? Or more likely, did she get a favor from someone who shouldn't have helped her, and she doesn't have the other 103 names? She was clearly going to rip A-Rod down by any means necessary. Oh, and I don't care if his street is a public road- I live on a public road and if someone is cruising by just to see if I'm home and ask my about my past MEDICAL records- that is what I call STALKING.

Slow Walkers at the Gym - Not just any slow walkers, just the ones that ignore the signs and the color-coded track. You see, the two blue lanes on the track are for runners who are going pretty fast (or really fast depending), and the two yellow lanes on the track are for walkers, or slower joggers. Now, I'm in the blue lane trying to run at a faster pace. Two girls going side-by-side in the blue lanes are walking- wait- not only are the walking- they are doing slow lunges where they bend one knee and touch the other knee to the ground. Are you serious? This is ridiculous! Stay in the yellow lane where you belong!

People Who Do Not Follow Directions - As I get older, I appreciate the value of organization more and more. I've found that no matter how direct I am when giving information or directions, inevatably the message will not get through. Occasionally, the message will get through, yet it will get blatantly disregarded. I'm not speaking about one person in particular- it happens waaaaay too often. This is about as specific as my rant will get. Ah, the number one drawback of not creating a blogging alias.

Kate Austen on Lost - She annoys me more and more every episode. I hope she does travel back in time and gets killed in the caves area. That would explain the "Eve skeleton" from Season 1. Oh, and P.S., she's not even close to as hot as she thinks she is. Her teeth are weird.

The Guy From Nickelback - Seriously, you're awfully cocky for someone producing the worst music ever heard by ears. Please stop releasing the same album over and over. And to the people who keep buying it, please stay to the bargain DVD section at Wal-Mart and stop supporting terrible music.

That's all I have today. What A-Hole are you sick of?

I 100% agree with you on everything EXCEPT Kate Austen. She is SMOKING hot and I love her character.

Funnt side story, on International Talk Like A Pirate Day I announced the special occasion to my coworkers, and one of them said "That's so stupid. When is it going to be International Don't Be an A-Hole Day?"

The answer: Never. People can't stop. It's the way of the world.

Selena Roberts is also the same reporter that wanted the Duke Lacrosse team to pretty much be killed even after they were found to have done nothing wrong.

Good knowledge.
