Irritations

Why is beer so expensive???

Because camels are an Endangered Species. (VERY BAD joke)

Programs that run commercials from their competitors. Example: A local sports station has a particular credit union as a major sponsor. But a team that they run the games of has a different credit union sponsoring THEM. Result: You often get two commercials for different CUs consecutively. Where does the Conflict of Interest START?

Cultural fads that go Mainstream. Good example: Fistbumping. NO ONE except for gangbangers and their groupies even knew what fistbumping even WAS. Then Obama does it during his campaign and within two weeks it has completely replaced handshakes and you're a racist so-and-so if you don't jump on the fad wagon.

People who do that bumping shoulders thing when shaking hands.

Weather reporters that talk about what the weather has been like today. What’s the point?

[Tani]

News headlines designed to be as eye-catching but misleading as possible.

Reading a news article and it taking 4 paragraphs or so to get to the point.

'POPULAR FOOD RECALLED FROM TESCO.....' OK well if it were that urgent you'd mention what the food is and what the problem is in the headline.

Today I saw a PBS children's show on animals as soon as I turned on the set. A young boy of color had sent a video question asking about the fastest animal on Earth. To my amazement, he said his name was *Elon*!

Ok, I made that last one up. How surprised would you have been if it was true though.

This reminds me of a funny but very much off colour joke which circulated after the death of Michael Hutchence who named his daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.

This tendency for commercials for "full body deodorants" showing people spraying the stuff down their boxer shorts or under their bras. It just seems-- excessive!

Agreed. Feeling like you need to spray "down there" is one thing but admitting it and doing it on national tv is quite another.

Parents who give their child a normal name but then spell it in an absurd manner.
