Small OT rant
OK, here's a peeve: In all these community sites, like MySpace, LiveJournal, etc., when you fill in your profile there's a section on "who I'd like to meet". That's just dandy, but what about the other end of the spectrum? How about "who I'd like to shoot" or "who I'd like to see boiling in a vat of llama ejaculate" or "I'd like the rapture to come early for . . . " or merely "who I'd like to spit on"?
I'm thinking that the "who I'd like to spit on" would be least offensive to the PC wunderkind out there. I'm thinking that it should not include political entities because, again, too much PC fascism out there, and the point is not to start flame wars, rather to say "this person pisses me off and I feel frustrated at my lack of ability to do a blessed thing about it".
So, here's the start of my "Who I'd Like To Spit On" list:
Bill Gates - John Henry Goliath made flesh (read Jasper Fforde books)
People who think it's OK to abandon pets to the wild
The guys from Jackass. They may be only a symptom, but still!
Anyone who goes on Jerry Springer (or similar shows)
The person who invented that impossible to open plastic packaging
Several ex-bosses (well, THERE'S a big duuuuuuh!)
"Wild Bill" Steely from Interactive Magic
Any person selling Clayton Homes (what a massive rip off!)
Anyone who believes that your different beliefs mean you deserve to die
Various people from High School and College
Randy Edward Knoll (actually, I'd rather see him boiling in llama ejaculate)
The people who thought up "reality programming"
I could keep going, but I'll stop for now. Who would YOU like to spit on (or see boiled in a vat of llama ejaculate)?
