or, These Things Are So Overrated

• religion
• Ugg boots
• Crocs
• Twilight
• Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus
• The Jonas Brothers
• High School Musical
• I think it's safe to say: any of the Disney cash cows.
• Taylor Swift
• MTV
• Jersey Shore and other reality TV shows
  • It's trash! Giving these idiots a show and paying them ridiculous sums of money only encourage stupidity.
• Mariah Carey
• rat-sized dogs, namely Chihuahuas
  • And don't even get me started on girls who carry them in purses.
• Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and other socialites, people who are famous for being famous
• Obama
• McCain
• red lipstick
  • I think it works on very few women. Otherwise, it can make a girl look trashy. Or, at least pick the right shade of red.
• Oprah
• Dr. Phil
• being pregnant, giving birth, baby fever
• traveling
  • Don't get me wrong; I love being in new places. I dislike the actual traveling part, namely airport chaos.
• American Idol
  • But I do watch the memorable auditions.
• radio
  • Most stations repeat the same damn song at least five times a day. My work started playing the radio, and I've heard one song three times during a six-hour shift. Customers ask how we tolerate the kids' CDs, but I actually prefer them. At least they vary.
• catching the midnight premiere of a movie
• tanning
• getting wasted
  • Nothing's wrong with a little drinking, but shit faced isn't a flattering look for anyone.
• energy drinks
  • They make me feel like crap.
• Twitter
• Thanksgiving
  • I'm really not big on family holidays. I do like Thanksgiving desserts, though.
• Brangelina
• the Olsen twins
• Glee
  • UGH.
• Chik-fil-A
• septum piercings
• naval piercings
• star tattoos
  • Why are they so prevalent? They're so cliche and boring.
• Avatar
  • I can appreciate the creativity and the imagination behind the movie, but the acting is piss-poor and the plot is formulaic. I expected more from such a "revolutionary" movie.
• 3-D movies
  • It seems everyone is making 3-D movies simply because they can and not because it adds any value to the movie itself. Step Up, anyone?
• Ke$ha
  • Seriously, how does anyone not find her voice annoying?
