Another addition to the ever growing list of stuff that doesn't make sense to me...
-Animal Crackers/Cookies
I wonder who's idea it was to take cute little animals and make them tasty treats to eat? What was it like the first time someone tried them: "These guys sure are cute! I just can't wait to get my hands on them and maul them!" What kind of lesson are we teaching kids? "OK Johnny, pick out your favorite cute animal and then crunch it up into little bits." They don't taste that good.
-Toothbrushes
How come we keep reusing toothbrushes? We stick these things into our mouths every day, several times a day, and then let them sit to grow who knows what kind of beasties until next time we brush. Why aren't they disposable? This just recently occurred to me and now I get the heebie-jeebies when it's time to brush. Maybe since they are our own germs, they don't effect us? I hope I never grab the wrong brush by accident.
-Rugrats
This has got to be the worst show for kids ever. That Angelica kid is the meanest little b#@&$. The things she does to the other kids probably inspire many pranks by loyal watchers of the show. (Oops! I forgot. Kids aren't influenced by their television/movie heroes.) And the cry-babies of the world claim that Bugs Bunny cartoons are bad for kids?
-Televised Fishing Shows
I was flipping through channels this weekend and came across this fishing show where a guy was fishing off the back of a boat and doing a monolog about the whole thing. The best part was the intense music that was in the backround. It was very dramatic and almost drowned out what he was saying. When he hooked a fish, the music became even more dramatic, like Da Da Da Daaaa! as the fish was first hooked. It was hilarious! How can you take something like that seriously? Exceptionally boring premise with overly dramatic music. Does anyone watch these shows?
-Yellow 'Dot' Highway Signs
Everyone has seen these things, the highway signs that use yellow dots to spell stuff out. The same ones that work for about 2 days and then more dots start showing up where they shouldn't. In a very short time the sign has so many dots where they shouldn't be that the message is completely unreadable. This happens every time without fail. Why do they still use these signs when none of them ever stays working properly for very long?
-Smoking
Yeah, I know this one has been beaten to death. I still wonder why anyone smokes anymore. It's a stinky, unhealthy habit, for sure, but my point is that the way things are going, it will be illegal soon. Eventually smokers are going to have to go to dealers just like pot smokers. They will have to hide in the basement to get a fix where no one sees them. Then the 'super cigarette' will be invented so that one a day will keep you going. Smoking in the bathroom at schools will be exceptionally more hazardous. (That's a tradition even non-smokers like me can appreciate.) Sounds far fetched? There are some crazy liberals out there who will push this issue as far as possible. Watch and see. Don't forget, they know how you should live your life better than you do!
