Lets see...

SimCity crashes due to an unfindable BAT - You know why

Former Seahawks coach Jim Mora - Really bad choice and really bad season...hopefully Pete Carroll will be better

Twilight (the book, the film, and the fans) - Destroyed the town of Forks, invading my school, my state

And more...

    TV producers who can't tell the difference between SF, and SciFi. SciFi is the plural of ScumFum. The current crop of "SciFi" clearly needs some writers, some imagination, and many of them just need to be cancelled. It probably wouldn't hurt if some of the people in production of this junk went back and read some of the earlier writing. Jules Verne was a far better writer than most of the hacks. Heck, even John W. Campbell (alias Christopher Anvil?) was more entertaining. How about a new series based on his Interstellar Patrol series from the 1950's?

    Actually, I wasn't referring to whats-his-name.  I was making a generalized comment on my experience with other so-called sci-fi purists.

    Sexual inuendo in advertising.  For example the most recent ad for Gillette's ladies razor has the girl leaping into what I would call a position for criminal conversation.

    What ticks me off?

    Good God I could go into this forever...

    However, I will sum it up into one word:

    America.

    Being American, I can't help but feel the slow degradation of my country into totalitarianism and despair.

    It makes me cry sometimes.

    No doubt, what's worse is those stupid ad's that hang out at the bottom of the screen WHILE you're watching a movie or show and their purpose is to advertise the next show! WTF?! 

    It's even worse when the show/movie has subtitles and you can't read them cuz the stupid ad is in the way! GRRRR!!! 

    Or, it's not even an ad, it's a station identification GUI.... I KNOW WHAT STATION I'M WATCHING!!! 32.gif ACk!!

    I hate those  graphics for the next show too, they now take up a full 1/4 of the sceen.

    How soon before  the show will run on 1/2 the sceen and constant ads on the rest.

    My neighbors tick me off. They are too lazy to walk their trash down to the cans, so they chuck it off the porch, and often miss. Cue the neighborhood raccoons.

    They also leave the house without turning off their alarm clock. My girl works the night shift. She has no reason to be awake at 7 am.

    I loathe them. That's why I'm moving.

    I can't stand it when people throw their cigarette's on the ground, when they are done with them. Especially when people throw their lit cigarette's, into the mulch in my garden, and in the dry grass.
