Tools Unite: The Facebook Status

I’m sure you have all seen some of the more recent Facebook status chains and wanted to kill yourself. For the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed that many of my “friends” *cough* have become extremely politically aware. More importantly, everyone on my friends list is apparently going to fall terminally ill immediately because health care is suddenly more than an issue than MTV reality shows, whiny song lyrics, and lolcatz combined.

“Politically aware” Facebook statuses bother me just as much as Green Day’s self-important political rants and Pink’s supposed political career. I’m not exactly sure if people are trying to pass themselves off as smarter or more aware, but the point is that you will never be taken seriously for what you put up on Facebook. Jesus Christ, at least get a .com and legitimize yourself (*cough* www.whyisthispopular.com *cough*). For those people that are too useless to get a real soapbox, Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace remain to be fantastic forums of anonymity and fail. For the rest of us, there’s Mastercard Why Is This Popular DOT Com.

Guys That Yell During “The Game”

It seriously bugs me when people scream at the television, whether it is to scream at the protagonist not to go check out the creepy noise in the basement or scream at the ref. YOU ARE NOT COOL. Guys get together like chimpanzees, competing to be louder and louder. One guy screams at Kobe, another is throwing out obscenities, the third is saying “yeah!!!” (he is not as into the game on the inside, so makes up for it with grunting loudly in agreement).

You cannot be serious. How could you possibly be paying attention to the game with ten braying donkeys to your left and right? It is literally impossible for me to enjoy any televised sports competition when people are screaming any variation of “come on,” like it’ll actually affect Gilbert’s performance. I can completely understand being absorbed into a game when you’re surrounded by face-painted fans and you can hear the live organ. When you are sitting on your Ethan Allen couch enjoying some Zima? Not so much.

A side note: tweeting/facebooking the play by play is both obnoxious and an indicator that you are overcompensating for a small penis. It is the zero cost version of buying a sports car, huge tv, and membership to the NRA.
