[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 2163767, member: 10619"] I'm beyond sick of corporate hijacking. Everything is influenced by Big Corp. Some examples are just annoying and others are disgustingly scary. Annoying: Trying to watch a ballgame and seeing a corporate logo on EVERYTHING, like the State Farm logo on the padding of a freaking basketball goal frame. Or, instead of simply going to an "instant replay", they go to the "Chevrolet Quick Look Instant Replay, save thousands off year-end closeout models at your local Chevrolet dealership. Chevrolet, Find New Roads.". Disgustingly scary: Exxon's oversight of the FAA No-Fly Zone over the spill in Arkansas. How does a company get away with dictating federal regulations? ________________________________________________________________ I'm tired of the dumbing down of American media. History Channel, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, all slowly being taken over by non-education and often fictional "reality" dramas. What useful knowledge am I "learning" about some chick who has 19 kids? Good thing I still have the Science Channel... for now. While I find 0 charm, emotion, story or anything else constructive or creative in today's corporate-churned music, seeing music videos for this talentless crap would still be better than seeing MTV overrun by garbage like "16 and Pregnant". ________________________________________________________________ I'm tired of ultra-conservatives and ultra-liberals, equally. Ultra-conservatives demand that religion dictates every aspect of our lives, while criticizing the ultra-libs for demanding the Government do the same. Ultra-liberals demand that the Government dictates every aspect of our lives, while criticizing the ultra-cons for demanding the Church do the same. Most importantly, I'm just tired of being told that I need either entity in order to live a happy, healthy, productive life. ________________________________________________________________ I'm tired of not being able to find a pulled-pork sandwich that wouldn't double as shredded beef jerky on a bun. I don't desire a pork soup sandwich, but it'd be nice for it to retain just a bit of moisture. ________________________________________________________________ I'm tired of bad drivers -- The left lane campers, or those who fail to signal, for example. It doesn't necessarily bring my day down when somebody refuses to signal a lane change, but it does sadden me that common courtesy towards total strangers seems to be dying off more and more.
