I Fucking Hate These People
That's right, two updates in one day. Kiss my ass; this pisses me off.
Okay, if you do not know the following fact, you are not allowed to be my friend. So, in the interests of saving all my existing friendships, I will post it here and you need never admit to me you were ignorant of this fact before I wrote it here. Here it comes.
The Cars did not write, sing, or otherwise produce the song Cars.
I was downloading some Cars music recently (Don't worry, I have the CDs, just too lazy to rip them myself. Honest. Don't believe me? Fuck off.) and I just selected a bunch of Cars results and downloaded them, ignoring the titles, because the dipshits on the internet can never get those right anyway. Going through my new catches, I find one of them is not The Cars, but Gary Numan (the actually writer/singer/whatever of Cars). Now, if you are at all familiar with the song in question and familiar with The Cars, you can say with confidence that the two are not associated at all, except in that the band name is associated with the song title. I can forgive small bits of ignorance. But here comes the best part.
The ID3 tag on the mp3 for the artist reads Gary Numan. The title reads Cars. Both accurate. Whoever ripped the song had the correct information. Now, generally when a song is ripped, both the artist and the title are included in the filename. Someone between the ripper of the song and myself (not necessarily the person I downloaded it from, perhaps who they downloaded it from, etc.) looked at this mp3 file and said to themselves "You know, I don't know anything about this Gary Numan guy. But I've heard of a band called The Cars. And this song is about cars. I bet that the artist is actually The Cars. You know, because The Cars would obviously write a song about cars. That's their name, right? I mean, it's not like they'd write songs about OTHER stuff, or that someone else could right a song about cars even though their name ISN'T The Cars." And this dumbshit changed the filename. I bet he thought he was pretty damn smart. Fuckass. I swear, some people are just too retarded to live.
"This song is about space. NASA does stuff with space. I bet they have a band and they made this song. Who's David Bowie anyway?" Fucking morons. Ke-rist.
Post Script:
This is actually the second time I wrote this. I went to post the first version and LiveJournal fucked me..something about the server being in read-only mode or something. My browser got confused and when I hit back, it took me back to reading my journal, not to the update. So all that text was lost.
That's how pissed off this makes me. I went to the trouble of REWRITING THE SAME THING. Shame too, the first version was much better I thought, but I can't remember the wording. I somehow wove around and said something about kicking an idiot in the shin for being so damned stupid. Oh well. Guess you're stuck with this version.
