I was inspired not long ago by a friend on facebook who wrote a note depicting things that he was just plain sick of...here's my list. (probably with some stuff I've forgotten)
1.
The Jonas Brothers-For so many reasons; the lack of talent, the lack of creativity, hypocrisy, the squealy voices, etc...
2.
Miley Cyrus(hittin' Disney hard I know)
-She talks like a dude, cannot sing, is 16 and already is on her way to becoming Linsdsay Lohan.
3.
Television Cop Shows-It's the same story every week on a different station, with different actors.
4.
Twilight-It's not just because it's another cheap-o teenage soap opera. Let's start with the lead 'Edward Cullen' played by the "actor" Robert Pattison who's resume' includes one of the Harry Potter films. Not to mention this dude looks absolutely homeless. You got all that money dude, buy some shampoo and a comb. I've heard from the majority of online film sites that this movie has horrible acting, a little better than average TV visual effects, and a plot thinner than Nicole Ritchie. Beyond the movie, I've heard the same negativity about the book series. Reviews by legitimate establishments claiming the absolute shallowness of the characters, the story, and so forth. I catch the most flack from people who say, "You've never read the book or seen the movie, so how can you make a fair analysis?" My response; "I don't have to eat horse crap to know I won't like it."
5.
Kobe Bryant (and the Lakers)
I'm not an NBA fan at all really. Ask anyone who knows me. One of the main reason's is due to the selfishness of the players, the lack of team play, and it's just sloppy basketball. As for Kobe Bryant, in time he and Lebron James will be listed as "threats" to Michael Jordan as the greatest basketball player ever. This will never happen. No matter how many championship rings Kobe gets, or MVP awards, or scoring titles, it won't happen. Mr. Bryant lacks the leadership Jordan had. MJ made his entire team better, and was not only a scorer, but also a passer, a rebounder, and he was an excellent asset on the defensive side of the floor. Jordan also held one other trait that few athletes carry on the court today; class. Kobe has none. My dad was watching the Lakers-Majic game last night, and just looking at Kobe's persona was extremely telling. His overly baggy jersey, trashy tatoos, and just a cocky attitude. He has no class, and someone needed to say it.

MetrostationFor those who don't know who this is; they are a pop/rock band who has written one song called, "Shake it." Let me just say that I saw these guys about a year and a half ago open up for a band that I went to see at the Norva. I knew nothing about them, but I wanted to give them a chance. Their set was painful to watch and listen to. A band clearly not dedicated to producing quailty music, but rather obsessed with their appearance. I am convinced that this band has absolutely zero talent, and to prove my theory here are the lyrics to the chorus of their hit song, "Shake It";
Now if she does it like this will you do it like thatNow if she touches like this, will you touch her right backNow if she moves like this, will you move like that (come on)Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake ItSome serious song writing right there. So detailed with the "this" and "that". By the way, you can't rhyme using the same word.
Also of note, one of the band members is Miley Cyrus' brother. It all makes sense now.

Facebook Creepers-I understand that Facebook publishes public information posted by people, but all alliteration aside, get a life. Seriously, do you people wake up in the morning and say "oohh I wonder what information I can find out about ________ today?" Some basic rules to make sure you're not creepin' too hard;
1) If someone writes on someone else's wall, do not comment on either person's wall randomly concurring with a posted statement.2) If someone's status is a generalized statement that has a negative context, do not assume that it's directed at you. Don't flatter yourself. There are hundreds of other people on facebook who could've been the target of the statement.3) Do not add your friend's friends, unless you have met them or have talked to them.4) Don't add your sworn enemies. (ex girlfriends, high school bullies, dentists, etc)5) If you really want to know something about someone's life; ask them...in real life. Don't lower yourself to making assumptions on facebook.6) Don't poke me...ever. It's just dumb.8.
The Harry Potter FranchiseIt's just dumb. How's that for analysis?

Jason StathamA British actor who made his name in "Snatch" (which was a good film) alongside Brad Pitt, and he also played "Handsome Rob" in "The Italian Job" (also a good film). Since then he has been absolutely annoying. His first lead was "The Transporter" a bit over the top for my taste, but not a horrible movie. He ha since made 2 more "Transporter" sequels, and 2 films of the same liking called "Crank" and "Crank 2: High Voltage." He was also in a movie called "War" and "Death Race". He's basically the same guy in every film. He just needs to take a step back, and perhas read a script before taking a role.

CondemnationalistsIt's not a word, but it should be. This is a person who forces their personal convictions upon other people. If it lines up with the Bible, then I have no problem with it. But when you chose to judge someone for somethings that you don't necessarily do yourself, it is out of place. Please do not take this out of context. If someone is living in sin, then by all means in a loving way call them out. But if it's just some nit-picky thing that you or your family doesn't do, then just keep it to yourself or gossip about it to your friends.
