Misery Doesn't love company, it loves denial

I was over at the local Knights of Columbus my pops is a member at to watch the superbowl. ran into a few old friends, and I was more then a little disappointed that the Colts won, not because I wanted the bears to win, but because I fucking Hate Peyton Manning and his jack ass brother Eli. Anyway, as you know, the Superbowl, oh I'm sorry, I mean "Big Game" because apparently you can't even mention the trademarked word superbowl in a fucking add for the superbowl of the NFL will sue you're ass back into the 17th century, is the home of many great new adds. Hell, I'm pretty sure many people watch "The Big Game" because of the adds and not the big game. (On an aside, I miss Bud-bowl) One of the more controversial adds was the K-Fed one.
For those of you who have been living under a rock, or the Amish (who wouldn't be reading this blog anyway so I kinda feel safe making jokes at their expense) K-fed, better known as Kevin Federline, or Mr. Brittany Spears made a commercial basically going from a rapper to a fry cook, kinda at his own expense and the fry cooks of America took offense. Apparently, it's wrong to imply that working at McDonalds is not a desirable job. Well, excuse me, Mr. French-fryer, I didn't know the stock options and corporate climate of working at McDonalds or Burger King were that good. I'm sorry if you have an entry-level job that requires little marketable skills and brings little fiscal soundness to your budget, but is it my fault you feel inadequate because someone makes fun of your position? Grow the fuck up guys. You don't see the Accountants of America rioting in the streets because a commercial makes pencil pushers seem like geeks.
I don't think TV, as a medium, has any particular social responsibility to help you ease your own psyche because your ego is bruised that you work flipping burgers. It's not a desirable job, and that means it's going to face a little humor at it's expense. Get over it, or here's an even better idea, better your own lot in life and laugh like everyone else. I've never seen a lawyer go ballistic when telling lawyer jokes, but maybe that's because they're not spending their day wondering where they went wrong in life. Yeah, I said it. There's nothing wrong with flipping burgers for a living, really. Lots of Highschool kids do it. if you're in your mid thirties and doing it, you must really love hamburgers. You know what, stop acting like you love it. stop acting like it's what everyone else wanted in life. Mr. or Mrs. unconventional life wake up and smell the burning coffee; you wanted to be different you should have known that people will point and snigger. That's not to say that great people haven't done great things for being unconventional. There's many famous artists and musicians who have led unconventional lives and become "successful" either financially or otherwise. Hell, nickleback got it's name because one of the guys in the band worked at starbucks and always gave a nickle back as change. But you know what, I bet they didn't bitch when people joked about "coffee service professionals". That goes for you too garbage men. you're a fucking garbage man. Yeah, getting the trash off the ground is important butyou're not a sanitation engineer tell me what part of lifting a can and getting rid of someone else's trash (occasionally bringing it to your own home) is engineering. I'm tired of people needing to change their titles to make them feel better about themselves.
Everything ends in "professional" I'm a service industry professional, I'm a sanitation professional, Jesus guys, get over it. You want to get a job that makes you feel good about yourself? well la-de-fucking da, here's an idea, get the job that makes you feel good about yourself, not take the shit job and demand people cal you something to hold your head up high. Or here's another idea, fuck what they say about your job if you like it. Oh don't call me a teacher that sounds demeaning, I'm an education professional. blow it out your ass, you're a fucking teacher and if being a teacher is embarrassing get another fucking job. I'm a food service professional. No, you're a fucking fry cook, accept that, and if that makes you feel small, become a CEO, don't whine about how being a fry cook is a respectable job, you know why, you're not persuading me to change my mind, and I suspect the one you're really trying to convince is yourself. I don't give a fuck if you wait tables, dig ditches or operate on peoples brains. I really could give a fuck less. I just don't feel like dancing on egg shells when I leave the house because someone might get offended at the concept someone doesn't hold every aspect of their life on a pedestal. Some days you're the dog, someday the hydrant guys. Don't like you're lot in life change it, otherwise, be content to work at a job, whether you feel other people respect it or not, cause at the end of the day the only one living in your world is you.
