You have 4 new crushes!

I'm so sick of advertising. I'm sick of being bombarded by bullshit 24/7 on TV, radio, in magazines, the internet...promises of things that some morally bereft executive somewhere decided my demographic will respond to. I've been irritated by this shit for years, but I think I've hit my breaking point.

You can think Paris Hilton or Tila Tequila is amusing, but their asses are nothing but advertising manipulation. Those girls are insecure little bags of flesh who became commodities glommed on by a legion of equally self-hating, cocaine-hungry motherfuckers who couldn't give a shit whether they are contributing to the downfall of humankind.

I'm not easily quantifiable. I don't fit into your demographic. I like mainstream shit. I like obscure shit. I don't think about what makes me cool or not. I don't give a shit if anyone judges me by anything other than who I am, which is a flawed but painfully earnest human being who is just making it up as she goes along.

I'm sick of falseness all the way around. I call bullshit on artifice. Anyone wanna join me in my private hell?

No? Well, fuck you. I refuse to cave to the machine.

Looking around on Facebook or something? I see that lovely headline every 4 or 5 times that I log in or if I add an app or something. I was going to try and quantify you based on how many times there was a curse word in the entry but I was laughing too hard to read and count at the same time so we'll save that for another day. I hope you have a happy 4th of July and I'll try not to spam you with something like this. :D

Funny isn't exactly where I was trying to go with my entry, but if it evoked an amused response in you, then I guess that's reasonable. At least some one's responding, so I appreciate it.

And I swear a lot. I'm a regular potty-mouth. Sometimes nothing reflects one's state of mind better than a curse word.

With that said, Happy $&*%ing Independence Day! :)

well I wasn't laughing so much at teh 24/7/365 or 366 in a leap year advertising that is our wonderful media in which there is always something wrong with you and you are never totally happy because there is something missing from your life or you just aren't "In the Know" if you don't keep track of what fashion is in for this 6 month period or out this 6 month period or even what is happening in some TV show that "EVERYBODY" watches.
We are pummeled by drug commercials that list hugely broad symptoms that on any given day I could say yes to at some point and they tell us that something may be wrong with us if we feel that way. How do they know there is something wrong with us? Could it not be just that I am having an "up" day or a "down" day. Maybe someone has pissed me off and I didn't say anything to them but let my rage just stew inside me and eventually just let go of it.
Pick any of the computer dating sites out there and they will tell you that they can find someone for you based on what you answer in a questionaire. What if I take the same questionaire on different days once when I am feeling good and happy and another when I feel like ripping someone's fucking head off and going bowling with it just for giggles. I'm pretty sure ym answers are going to vary. Or what if a nerd (such as myself) gets bored and tries to answers the questions in such a way as to be contradictory? Yeah it pops out a "no match found" but don't most people contradict themselves at some point on some topic. We change on a daily basis and the computer geeks behind these sites say they can pick a winner for us based on the answers we had in one day. If that is true, I'm going to take these guys to the race track, have them ask the horses questions put the answers into their computer and see how many times it can pick a winner for me. I say that it could get it right 1 time out of a couple million or billion just because of the ever changing nature of animals.

Happy fucking Forth!

The world isn't built for people like us Alexandra...not anymore...the axis has shifted and the bad guys are winning...and the whole place is going to hell (for real). Mother Nature hates us...God(s) probably doesn't dig what's going on...we're past the point of no return and nobody really cares cause there's money to be made!

The world just looks ugly to me.

Steven: Thanks for your additional comments!

Da Bro: I still haven't gotten around to seeing that film. I'll have to remember to put it on my Netflix list. Thanks!

Neil: Agreed. It certainly can look ugly, when it comes to humanity, or the lack thereof. I feel mindsets like ours are getting phased out, and certainly not for the new and improved.

Its natural selection gone wrong. It just goes to show how anti-nature our species really is...

Any of you up for joining the Co$? They can help us become "clear" for around $80K!

Heh, I don't know about anyone else, but I'll pass on anything that smells of L. Ron Hubbard. ;)

Steven said...

I wanna be just like Tom Cruise! please feel free to read sarcasm here because L. Ron Hubbard is not and never will be on my reading list. Hope you are having a great start to the week!

To demonstrate how I feel about the subject when I arrive home today I will promptly wipe my ass with the current issues of "People" and "Vogue" while watching any infomercial. For the past four days we have been entirely off the grid. That means no TV,cell phones,or internet.Guess what? They were not missed and there was a time for me when that would not have been the case.
