Despite my normally quiet persona, I used to have some road rage issues, until I started watching Criminal Minds on television. That show along with my mix of CSI-type shows, my road rage has lessened significantly, for fear of yelling or honking at that one pyschotic driver who happens to have a shotgun aimed out the window or something. I already had turned into a 31-year-old hermit from lack of trust and now these shows make me want to stay inside even more.... Sometimes I think how easy it would be for some maniac to blow up or burn down some random building I'm in, whether it be a store or arena or whatever, because of some virtual reason inside of someone's mind (in other words, a belief); maybe I should stop watching those shows. And I cna't voice my fears when I am in said building, because then I would automatically be the suspect because I mentioned it, but there are so many crazies out there that I can't help but think about the possibility at least a little. Obviously the chances are very slim of some maniac blowing up the movie theatre or grocery store I'm in, but the chances are increasing, because as the overall population increases, so does the number of psychos. The ratio of 'normal' to abnormal may remain the same, but the quantities of both increase as more people inhabit the Earth...
The more I see Coors Light commercials on tv, the more it becomes evident that they are catered to morons. First they use slogans like "The coldest tasting beer" and "The world's most refreshing beer", which are two of the stupidest slogans I have ever heard. Where do I begin?... Cold is not the taste, it is a temperature, and every beer can taste cold when you put it in the freezer, so advertsing yourself as the coldest is downright insulting, or at least it would be if consumers used their brain a little more. When you claim to be the world's most refreshing beer, that seems more like a water advertisement, not to mention the fact I could name about a hundred others that are far more refreshing than that stuff, because they actually taste good. Sounds to me more like an ad for cold water catered towards young children or perhaps the mentally handicapped who use phrases like super cold... Another laughable gimick is the new label on the bottles that tell you if the beer is 'cold' or 'super cold'. What?!? Here's an idea: feel the bottle; is it cold or not? And who uses terms like "super cold"? Oh yeh, people who drink Coors Light... I suppose it's fine, if you like being treated like a moron, in which case you probably don't even realize how crappy that beer is anyway, so feel free to continue enjoying the 'most refreshing beer', but make sure it is super cold first. One more thing- a note to Ice Cube, the new spokesman for Coors Light. You can no longer call yourself a gangster rapper, a thug, or a tough guy of any sort, after selling out to advertise one of the worst beers in Americ and acting in one of the worst advertising campaigns ever. You can't drink a light beer, that advertises itself as water basically, and expect to keep your street cred... sorry.
I happended upon a trailer for a movie recently and this notion came to mind:
Julia Roberts' laugh is NOT that attractive; you don't have to stick it in at the end of the preview for every movie she is in. Maybe twenty years ago, it was refreshing and appealing, but now it just seems forced and repetitive, and quite frankly it is old and beyond unappealing. Try a new tactic please.
I don't know what this says about me, but Rocky and 2001: A Space Odyssey are two of my favorite movies of all time. I came to the conclusion that is an odd pair to label together, but maybe I'm not as weird as I think I am. I characterize my favorites as movies that I will sit and watch, whenever they are on tv, sometimes twice in one day because they are so good.
